Nail Polish Battle 2019: Yellow, Gold, Brown

 I think today is the most eclectic of the battles!

Barry M - Banana Split | Barry M - Butterscotch | OPI - I'll Have a Gin and Techtonic | Barry M - Tangerine | OPI - Dazzling Dew Drop | A England - Maxim | A England - Camden Town | Born Pretty Store - Frantic Fire 

Breaking down the eight polishes and choosing my top three was quite easy. Maxim is a neutral red holographic polish, it is quite a subtle holographic. Camden Town was the second A England polish I chose, this is quite difficult to describe, a plum brown holographic. The holographic flair in this one is stronger than Maxim.

Which of course means that the surprising winner is Butterscotch. I say surprising because this colour isn't holographic and it is a bit of an unusual shade. A 70's mustard colour, which is very unique to my collection, and having over 500 polishes now that is quite a feat!

Orange Cream Polish | Barry M - Tangerine
Orange Shimmer Polish | Leighton Denny - Hot Under The Collar
Stamping Polish | Barry M - Tangerine
Stamping Plate | Bundle Monster 308

  

Swatch: Barry M - Tangerine (S/S 2019 Gelly)

Colour | Orange

Finish | Cream

Opacity | Two Coats

Brush Type | Flat, Wide, Rounded Cuticle

How Much | 10ml

Vegan

Looking over my collection of Barry M Gelly Polishes I noticed that Tangerine is in my opinion identical and a dupe to the older polish Satsuma. I have compared it in swatches and bottle shots below.
