Topic Tuesday: Favourite Holographic Finish

I like all holographic polishes, however if I had to choose it would be linear because it's like a rainbow in direct light, where the light creates a rainbow spreading outwards from the centre.

Such as Cupcake Polish Berry Looking Good

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2017

Seeing as this past week it was the Summer Solstice I thought I should share my top summer polishes for 2017. If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2015 here and 2014 here.

Claire's - Dizzy;

Summer calls for neons and glitter, this polish ticks all the boxes.

A England - Whispering Waves;

Holographic polishes are stunning year round, however in direct sunlight they really come in to their own. This is a beautiful turquoise.

Barry M - Papaya;

Orange is a typical summer choice, this is less in your face than a neon but still summer appropriate.

Cupcake Polish - Berry Good Looking;

As I said with the A England, holographic polishes look great in sunlight. This is a stunning purple packed with holographic particles.

Nails Inc - St John's Way;

This glitter is pastel so much less in your face than the one from Claire's. It has small white hexes, shards, and string glitter as well as very fine peach glitter in a clear base.

Nail Polish Battle 2016: Top 3!

Today's post is the last in this years series. You can see 2015 here, 2014 here and 2013 here. 

So the top three are Berry Looking Good, Let Me In and Clarence Avenue:

Eliminating one was quite easy, I chose to remove Clarence Avenue because as good as the brush and the formula are it just isn't special enough to win an entire years worth of nail polish battle.

The final battle between Berry Looking Good and Let Me In on the other hand was very difficult. In the end I chose for Berry Good Looking to win because that holographic effect is so spectacular. Let Me In is also a holographic finish polish but next to Berry Looking Good is a little less than breath-taking, but I do really like it a lot!

In Second Place:

Let Me In

Winner of 2016 Nail Polish Battle:
