Nail Polish: Battle of Reds and Greens

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the red last year then click here, and Greens here. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have got since last year.

Barry M - Passion Fruit | Essie - Snap Happy | Ciate - Mistress | Nails Inc - Luminous Metallic Red | Ciate - Dangerous Affair | Leighton Denny - Be My Berry | La Femme - Aubergine | Jacava - Damson

And the winner is:
Leighton Denny - Be My Berry, I think this is the perfect Christmas red. Had I have been doing this during the summer I think there may very well have been a different winner.

Moving on to the Greens

Ciate - Mojito | Barry M - Key Lime | Barry M - Greenberry | La Femme - Mint Cream | Collection 2000 - Electirc Dreams | Yes Love - K033 | ELF - Green Machine | OPI - Die Another Day

And the winner is:
Barry M Greenberry, purely because it is a very unique colour in my polish collection and the formula is perfect.

Summer Nail Challenge: Deck Chairs

Summer nail challenge, and today as the title suggests is deck chair day! I wanted to use my flocking powder but wasn't too sure how to give the deck chair look. Hope it worked!

Summer Nail Challenge: Red, Orange and Yellow

Bright colours were a touch scary so I put a coat of Barry M's Croc Special Effects

Swatch: W7 - Red Crackle

This crackle top coat is nice enough but it isn't very opaque. Only really shows up on lighter colours, which is a shame as I would have loved to wear it over a black.
