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;
