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;

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Blue

Today's battle is blue polishes;

Orly Snow Angel // Orly Stratosphere // Orly Ripple Effect // Orly Having a Smeltdown // Orly Glass Act // Emily de Molly Throwing Shade (M) // ILNP Rainy Days // Barry M High Tide // Dam It's Electric

I reduced the nine blue polishes down to my top three;

Ripple Effect is a cornflower blue with a camera shy soft pink shimmer;

Throwing Shade is a light blue and purple magnetic polish;

It's Electric is a blurple shimmer very vivid polish, its very unique to my collection which why won the battle of the blues;

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Yellow

Today's battle is yellow polishes, which all happen to be Orly;

Orly Cesium the Day // Orly Sunny Side Up // Orly On a Whim // Orly Gilded Dune // Orly Caught Off Gourd

Not too hard to chose my top three from the five;

Cesium the Day is a lemon yellow shimmer, makes a plain cream polish a bit more visually interesting;

On a Whim is a cream finish lime - lemon, more of a summer lighter version of Elysian Fields;

And finally the winner of the yellow round is Sunny Side Up. It is a bright yellow polish with a pink, red shimmer which makes it more interesting;

  

Nail Polish Battle 2024: Orange

Today's battle is orange polishes;

Nail Kind Desert Sunset // Orly New Horizons // Orly Yam It Up // Orly Erupt to No Good // Orly Earthfire // Emily de Molly Haunted Vibes

I whittled the six down to three;

Earthfire is a very bright but deep orange;

Erupt to No Good is a medium orange shimmer with a golden glow;

Which means that Haunted Vibes is the winner. It is a grey to orange magnetic, the orange is slightly duochrome to gold and green. I really liked the contrast between the black and the orange when using the bar shaped magnet;
