Topic Tuesday: Favourite Colour for Summer

I much prefer wearing darker colours, but I think for summer something holographic really comes to life when the sunlight hits it. Superchic Zombie Crush, the photo below shows it in direct sunlight and no flash.

  

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Top Three

For today's nail polish battle I am showing all the winners from each round, and choosing the top three for 2019. Had I of looked at all of the polishes I had got during 2019 I really don't think choosing that way I would have ended up with these particular polishes. That said doing these polish battles is interesting and a fun way to overview my new polishes.

Barry M - Butterscotch | OPI - I Pull The Strings | Essie - Angora Cardi | Barry M - Blueberry Muffin | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | Superchic Lacquer - Zombie Crush | A England - Goth

So from the seven I ended up with these three;

Essie - Angora Cardi | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | A England - Goth

Angora Cardi is in the top three, it's a dusty, muted pink shade which for me is more wearable than the other pink polishes. It is something I seem to reach for more in autumn.

Rimmel - Blue Sea Star, made it in to the top three for similar reasons as Angora Cardi. A muted, dusty polish shade which is unique to my collection.

And finally making it in to the top three is A England - Goth. I really like the formula, the brush is flat, wide and rounded at cuticle. It is holographic and is dark aubergine but is still distinguishable from a standard black polish.

The winning polish of 2019 will be the next and final post in this series.

  

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Purple

Purple polishes seem to be a weakness of mine, have 12 polishes in this category;

OPI - Do You Lilac It? | A England - The Scent of Azaleas | A England - Angel Grace | A England - Mrs De Winter | OPI - Krona-logical Order | Superchic Lacquer - Zombie Crush | OPI - Ginger's Revenge | Primark - Wine | OPI - In The Cable Car Pool Lane | Dystopia Nail Polish - Midnight's Mirror | Nails Inc - Drty Girl | OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark

Of the 12 purple polishes it was a little bit hard to select my top three. I went for Wine which is a gel effect polish from Primark. It has a nice flat and wide brush and the colour is really perfect for autumn. The only issue I had with this one was it did stain my cuticles a bit. Second of the top three is Dystopia Midnight's Mirror, which was the last polish I got this year. This polish is a stunning duochrome that shifts from blue to purple.

Which means that Zombie Crush is the winner of this round, it was so hard to choose between this one and Midnight's Mirror. Zombie Crush is a dark purple polish with so much holographic pieces in there, the rainbow is very obvious with this one even when not in direct sunlight.
