Nail Polish Battle 2024: Glitter

Today's battle is glitter polishes;

Orly Crush // Emily de Molly The Same Path // Emily de Molly Waiting for the Sun // Barry M Ruby Slippers // Fancy Gloss Red Mix // ILNP Bitten // Fancy Gloss Christmas Party // Orly Dancing Queen // Barry M Good Time Green // Barry M Fashion Icon // KbShimmer Scratch That

11 glitter polishes acquired this past year, whittled down to top three;

Christmas Party is a red, green, white flakie topper, its very unique to my collection although I can't see me wearing it throughout the year only in December;

Scratch That is a black topper with stars, circles, shreds and small hex glitters. Another very unique polish to my collection;

The Same Path is a unique S shape glitter topper with some smaller glitter particles. I know I keep mentioning the uniqueness but with a collection my size its hard to find polishes which are actually unique;

Nail Polish Battle 2014: Reds

Looking at the new red polishes of 2014

Nails Inc - Optic Flame // Barry M - Crush // Sally Hansen - Potent Port // Jacava - Red Velvet // Leighton Denny - Vamp

Barry M's Crush is a really nice colour but I find it chips so quickly on me. Also Vamp is a gorgeous colour but it leans very dark which while I do like, it isn't red enough to win the red category! So the winner is Red Velvet, a tone or two lighter than Vamp and very clearly a deep red.
