Nails: Top Five Winter Polishes 2024

As today is Yule, the Winter Solstice signaling the start of the official winter season in the Northern Hemisphere I thought now would be a good time to share my top five winter polishes. I have done similar blog posts in previous years 2023 (here), 2022 (here), 2021 (here), 2020 (here), 2019 (here), 2018 (here), 2017 (here) and 2016 (here).

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Purples

Purple nail polish is one of my favourites, which is why I have more new polishes than other colours!

Nails Inc - Palace Terrace Gardens // Leighton Denny - I Like Lilac // A England - Crown Of Thistles // Barry M - Orchid (Silk) // Barry M - Sparkling Amethyst // China Glaze - Sleeping Under The Stars // OPI - Lincoln Park at Midnight // Kiko - 255 // OPI - Cosmo With A Twist 

I managed to whittle my way down to the top three;

China Glaze is a dark purple colour with a subtle fuchsia shimmer running through it.

The top two include a holographic and a micro glitter.

Crown of Thistles is a stunning orchid holographic colour. One I wore a lot during 2015, and something which really comes to life when in direct sunlight.

However the winner of this battle is Kiko 255, a dark purple packed full of micro multi glitter. Almost galaxy like and gorgeous enough to wear as is.
