Nail Polish Battle 2019: Yellow, Gold, Brown

 I think today is the most eclectic of the battles!

Barry M - Banana Split | Barry M - Butterscotch | OPI - I'll Have a Gin and Techtonic | Barry M - Tangerine | OPI - Dazzling Dew Drop | A England - Maxim | A England - Camden Town | Born Pretty Store - Frantic Fire 

Breaking down the eight polishes and choosing my top three was quite easy. Maxim is a neutral red holographic polish, it is quite a subtle holographic. Camden Town was the second A England polish I chose, this is quite difficult to describe, a plum brown holographic. The holographic flair in this one is stronger than Maxim.

Which of course means that the surprising winner is Butterscotch. I say surprising because this colour isn't holographic and it is a bit of an unusual shade. A 70's mustard colour, which is very unique to my collection, and having over 500 polishes now that is quite a feat!

  

Swatch: Born Pretty Store - Magnetic Star River Series - Frantic Fire [#43679]*

Born Pretty Store Magnetic Star River Series in the colour Altair and Vega is a holographic, duochrome, magnetic polish. It is part of the same collection as Myriad Star and Altair and Vega. It has lots of different aspects to it which I think makes a great nail art look without actually doing anything. It looks spacey, a good base for galaxy nails.

You do need to use a black base coat to make this pop, which is what I did in the swatches below. You will also need a small magnet to hover above the polish for about 10 seconds to create the look.

Because of all the different aspects this polish is difficult to photograph.
