Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2019

Summer Solstice was on Friday and so I thought I should get around to sharing my top summer polishes for 2019. If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Barry M - Banana Split // Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime // Barry M - Pink Grapefruit // KPT - Color Therapy

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Barry M - Banana Split // Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime // Barry M - Pink Grapefruit // KPT - Color Therapy

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy - A very vibrant peach polish, almost a neon pastel which sounds contradictory!

Barry M - Banana Split - From the 2019 Spring / Summer Gelly release, a good two coater yellow polish.

Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime - This is a bit of an odd choice, but I think it is more wearable than a standard bright green polish. Dash of Lime has a shimmer running through it.

Barry M - Pink Grapefruit - Is another one from the Spring \ Summer Gelly release, somewhere between a neon and a pastel pink shade.

KPT - Color Therapy - I showed this over white above. A neon pink, green glitter with holographic microglitter, also UV reactive as well.

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Greens

Not too many green polishes this year so this round was quite easy.

Leighton Denny - Morning Dew // Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime // Barry M - Forest

Morning Dew is a classic spring green cream polish

Dash of Lime has a bit of a shimmer running though it which makes it a bit different

However, Forest has to win because it is deeper and while it is supposed to be semi matte in finish with a top coat it really comes to life. Glass flecked and almost mystical, a completely different polish.
