Nail Polish Battle 2019: Grey and Black

As it is now December it is time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have acquired and seeing which ones are my favourites.

Since last years nail polish battle I have 52 new nail polishes which is 11 less than last year. Today I am looking at grey and black ones.

OPI - Rub A Pub Pub | Revolution - Horror Show | A England - Mrs Danvers | A England - Goth | A England - Camelot | China Glaze - Liquid Leather

Choosing my top three was quite easy for this category. Rub a Pub Pub is a blue toned grey which is different to any of the other polishes in my collection. Liquid Leather is a really nice cream black polish, the formula is good. The thin brush type isn't my favourite type.

OPI - Rub A Pub Pub | A England - Goth | China Glaze - Liquid Leather

The winner of this round is going to be Goth by A England. Formula is good, the brush is flat, wide and rounded at cuticle. It is holographic and is dark but is still distinguishable from a standard black polish.

A England - Goth

  

Nails: Remembrance Poppies

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.

- Laurence Binyon

I have done remembrance nails previously in 2013, thought it was time to wear poppies again.

Black Polish | A England - Camelot
White Polish | Jacava - Vanilla Slice
Red Polish | OPI - Adam Said "It's New Years, Eve"
Stamping Polish | MoYou - Special Nail Polish - Black
Stamping Plate | Born Pretty Store - Texture - L002

  

Swatch: A England - Camelot (The Mythicals Collection)

So I have used an awful lot of black nail polishes over the past 20 years, and while this isn't the worst I have ever used it isn't a great polish. I prefer the brush on the newer A England polishes over this standard one. The formula is quite thin although it did become opaque in two coats.

Overall I am glad that this cost me only £2, however I will definitely continue to use it up.
