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"

Nail Polish Battle 2014: Black + Silver

Every year I do a battle of the nail polish, this year I have changed it up to using only new polishes for 2014. That way I can go through the polishes much easier. On to today's battle, looking at black and silver polishes;

 Pretty - Leather Look // Essence - Black is Black // Leighton Denny - Steel Appeal // Barry M - Espresso // Nails Inc - New York Noir

While I really liked the brush on the Essence polish the one coat opacity of the Nails Inc makes it the winner. Which is a shame because it was free with a magazine!

 

Moving on to the silvers, I didn't get many this year!

CK - Silver Streak // Barry M - Silver Foil Effect

The winner is the Barry M, because it is much less streaky and as an added bonus it is great for stamping with. 

 

Swatch: Pretty - Leather Look Black Nail Polish

This a a Poundland brand of nail polish. it claims to be a 'leather look' polish however in my opinion it isn't. To me it isn't textured enough to be a leather polish, it is much more along the lines of a black denim look polish.

Colour: Black with Silver Micro Glitter
Finish: Semi Matte, very slight texture
Opacity: 2 Coats
Brush Type: Standard
How Much? I guess 15ml
Anything Else? Very Potent Smelling
