Nail Polish Battle 2023: Top Three

Below are the eight polishes which won each of their battles;

Orly Written in the Stars // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Poinsettia // Fancy Gloss Cold Weather Blues // KbShimmer How Polarizing // Orly Metamorphosis // Orly Stop the Clock // ILNP Orbit

Some of these were easy to get ride of, especially Sunflower as its currently December and its too bright for me at the moment. While I have chosen my top three currently I'm unsure which will win.

So the top three of 2023 is;

Cold Weather Blues is a white to blue thermal with hex, micro and snowflake glitters. Such a nice winter polish and I'm hoping the thermal pigment stays alive for some time to come.

How Polarizing is a navy magnetic polish with scattered holo particles.

ILNP Orbit is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Blue

There were eight new polishes in this category in 2023;

Barry M Berry Parfait // OPI The Pearl of Your Dreams // Orly Written in the Stars // Orly Rinse and Repeat // Barry M Blue Guava // Barry M Forget Me Not // Barry M Cornflower // Rogue A Little Dark and a Little Gloomy

Choosing my top three wasn't too hard;

Cornflower comes third, it is a nice mid blue cream polish. I like how deep it is without being too dark.

Blue Guava was from the summer release, I like how bright blue this cream is.

And so in first place is Written in the Stars, which is a light icy blue shimmer polish. I think snowflakes would look good over this.
