Nail Polish Battle 2015: Purples

Purple nail polish is one of my favourites, which is why I have more new polishes than other colours!

Nails Inc - Palace Terrace Gardens // Leighton Denny - I Like Lilac // A England - Crown Of Thistles // Barry M - Orchid (Silk) // Barry M - Sparkling Amethyst // China Glaze - Sleeping Under The Stars // OPI - Lincoln Park at Midnight // Kiko - 255 // OPI - Cosmo With A Twist 

I managed to whittle my way down to the top three;

China Glaze is a dark purple colour with a subtle fuchsia shimmer running through it.

The top two include a holographic and a micro glitter.

Crown of Thistles is a stunning orchid holographic colour. One I wore a lot during 2015, and something which really comes to life when in direct sunlight.

However the winner of this battle is Kiko 255, a dark purple packed full of micro multi glitter. Almost galaxy like and gorgeous enough to wear as is.

Pick n' Mix 52 Week Challenge: Music + Not Worn Enough

The prompt this week was music and a polish not worn enough. I chose to to Placebo - Song To Say Goodbye, and the polish was Pretty - Leather Effect.

"You are one of God's mistakes,

You crying, tragic waste of skin.

I'm well aware of how it aches,

and you still won't let me in"
