Nail Polish Battle 2017: Orange and Red

Today I am looking back over my orange and red polishes from this year, I have seven polishes for this category.

Barry M - Papaya // Barry M - Satsuma // Barry M - Blood Orange // A England - Gloriana // A England - Rose Bower // Nails Inc - Marylebone Lane // Leighton Denny - Infatuation

Firstly I began by selecting my top three;

Barry M - Blood Orange // A England - Gloriana // A England - Rose Bower

Blood Orange is more of a red based polish than a orange as the name suggests. Vibrant and bright red cream polish.

Gloriana is a shimmer burnt orange type of shade which I really liked for autumn, and is very unique in my collection.

However out of the three I particularly liked Rose Bower, a rich berry holographic shade. Which is why Rose Bower ended up being the winner of this round.

Claire's - Dizzy // A England - Whispering Waves // Barry M - Papaya // Cupcake Polish - Berry Good Looking // Nails Inc - St John's Way

Claire's - Dizzy // A England - Whispering Waves // Barry M - Papaya // Cupcake Polish - Berry Good Looking // Nails Inc - St John's Way

Claire's - Dizzy;

Summer calls for neons and glitter, this polish ticks all the boxes.

A England - Whispering Waves;

Holographic polishes are stunning year round, however in direct sunlight they really come in to their own. This is a beautiful turquoise.

Barry M - Papaya;

Orange is a typical summer choice, this is less in your face than a neon but still summer appropriate.

Cupcake Polish - Berry Good Looking;

As I said with the A England, holographic polishes look great in sunlight. This is a stunning purple packed with holographic particles.

Nails Inc - St John's Way;

This glitter is pastel so much less in your face than the one from Claire's. It has small white hexes, shards, and string glitter as well as very fine peach glitter in a clear base.
