Nail Polish Battle 2022: Light Purple

Today I am looking over my lighter purples, I've split the purples in to two as purple is the colour I appear to have bought this past year.

Prism Polish Heists Are Dumb // Barry M Party Ring // Orly The Snuggle is Real // Barry M Hibiscus // Barry M Bitter // Orly Crash The Party // Polish Molish Fairy Peas // Barry M Gummy Bear // Orly Alexandrite By You // DRK Warm Breeze Cozy Beach // Ard as Nails Sea Sapphires // Barry M Cherry Tart // Jen and Berries Yes My Gatekeeper // Nailed It Turnip Head

Picking my top three was tricky, however I ended up with a cream, a glitter and a flakie.

Third place is Gummy Bear which is a mid purple cream, not as visually interesting as the other two.

Sea Sapphires is second, my first polish from 'Ard as Nails. It is a cobalt jelly base packed with fuchsia ghost flakies.

Meaning the winner is Fairy Peas, which is my first Polish Molish. I found the round green glitters quite different from other glitter polishes. Fairy Peas is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters.
