Nail Polish Battle 2024: Winner!

I started doing the nail polish battle at the beginning of the month and I only am writing this the day before I post it. Getting to a top three was difficult enough and so working out which polish is my favourite for 2024 was hard.

Emily de Molly The Same Path // Dam It's Electric // Whatcha Psychedelic

The Same Path is a unique S shape glitter topper with some smaller glitter particles. This polish came third only because it is a glitter and I prefer other finishes as they're easier to remove;

In second place is It's Electric which is an electric vivid blue purple polish which seems to change between the two colours depending on the lighting. It came second because it is so strongly pigmented it stained my nails terribly, although I didn't use a base coat. 

Which means that the winner of my 2024 nail polish battle is Psychedelic. It is a purple to blue magnetic multichrome with iridescent flakes, wearing it in the velvet style it goes from black at the edges along with the flakes, then purple to blue at the forefront.

 

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Top Three

So far I have gone through nine polish categories, and so today's battle is working out my top three polishes;

Emily de Molly The Same Path // KbShimmer That's the Spirit // Orly Sunny Side Up // Orly Bedrock Bloom // Orly Rustic Root // Dam It's Electric // Whatcha Psychedelic // Emily de Molly The Dragon King // Emily de Molly Haunted Vibes

Getting to a top three was difficult, and as I write this I am still unsure as to which will win!

The Same Path is a unique S shape glitter topper with some smaller glitter particles;

It's Electric is a electric vivid blue purple polish which seems to change between the two colours depending on the lighting.

Psychedelic it is a purple to blue magnetic multichrome with iridescent flakes.

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Everything Else

Today's battle is a catch-all for the rest of my 2024 polishes;

Orly Sea Spray // KbShimmer That's the Spirit // Nails Inc South Beach // Saffron Glow in the Dark 04 // KbShimmer Love at Frost Sight // Barry M Silver Star // ILNP Thundercloud // Rogue Peacocked // Fancy Gloss Blueberry Yoghurt // Emily de Molly Never Found It // Emily de Molly Nightshade // Colores de Carol Stripes and Scares

As this was the catch all battle there were 12 polishes so working out the top three took a while;

As someone who doesn't particularly like wearing white polishes I was surprised that That's the Spirit made it into the top three. It's a white crelly polish with black and orange various size hex glitters;

Thundercloud is a buildable grey base with iridescent flakies, to me it looks like a grey rainy day on my nails;

The winner of the round is Stripes and Scares which is a black crackle / shatter polish. As someone who was around during the 2010 crackle trend I'm glad it is back as the polishes I had have either fully dried up or are very low and so am glad to have this replacement in my collection;

  

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 2024: Pink

Today's battle is pink polishes;

Orly Wistful Water Lily // Orly Sea Blossom // Nail Kind Moroccan Sunrise // Orly The Floor is Lava // Nail Kind Tempt Me // Orly Bedrock Bloom // Orly Sugarplum Soiree

I worked out the top three of the seven;

Sea Blossom is a light lilac leaning pink cream finish polish;

Next is Sugarplum Soiree, which is a deeper pink shimmer polish. I like the tone of this but not the finish as much as the winner;

And so the winner is Bedrock Bloom, a fuchsia pink and the one I prefer to wear out of all the other pinks;

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Green

Today's battle is green polishes;

Orly Field of Wonder // Orly Morning Dew // Orly Skystone // Orly Cozy Night // Emily de Molly The Dragon King // Orly Regal Pine

From six down to three;

Morning Dew is a seafoam green, it has a blue shimmer to it;

Cozy Night is a dark green cream finish polish;

Meaning The Dragon King is the winner of the green polishes. It is a khaki green base with pink to orange flakies;
