Nail Polish Battle 2022: Top Three

Today I am looking at all eight polishes which won each previous rounds to work out what the top three polishes are which have come in to my collection within the past year.

Polish Molish Fairy Peas // Barry M Chase // Fancy Gloss Sapphire Shards // Danglefoot Champagne Supernova // Whatcha Love and Tragedy // Cat Tail Bloody and Bruised // Wildflower Stolen Flame // Orly Liquid Vinyl

Fairy Peas, I found the round green glitters quite different from other glitter polishes. Fairy Peas is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters.

Chase is a cream berry shade, it is very basic compared to others in this battle.

Sapphire Shards is a thermal going from light blue to dark blue with small blue flakies within.

Champagne Supernova, is quite autumnal. Brown, orange, red, green multichrome with scattered holo.

Love and Tragedy is a busy polish with lots going on, magnetic, green to purple multichrome with flakies.

 

Bloody and Bruised is a cream thermal changing from plum, blue to lilac.

Stolen Flame is a blue / purple packed with flakies and micro holo glitters.

Finally Liquid Vinyl, which is a basic black cream polish. It is very opaque, has a paddle shaped brush and has quickly become my go to black polish.

After looking at eight polishes I have whittled them down to Fairy Peas, Sapphire Shards and Bloody and Bruised;

   

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Blues

Today's battle is blue polishes, and I have 11 to whittle down.

Barry M Periwinkle // Barry M Blue Frosting // Glisten and Glow Minty Fresh // Models Own Duck // A England Faith // Wildflower Stolen Flame // Orly You're on Sapphire // Barry M Silent Cove // OPI Isn't it Grand // FYNO Ecstasy // Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues

Not sure what happened to the photo of the top three, I've picked two flakies and one magnetic;

The first to go was Ecstasy, while I really like it using a magnetic takes some effort to use whereas flakies aren't so much effort.

In second place is Minty Fresh, it is a light blue base with blue metallic flakies. It is very unique within my collection.

So the winner of the blues is Stolen Flame, it is more of a blurple than a standard blue and is packed with flakies and micro holo glitters.
