Nail Polish Battle 2022: Toppers and Glitters

Today's battle is glitters and topper polishes, I have 12 in this category;

Barry M Meringue // Rimmel Mermaid Fin // FUN Amethyst // DRK Splendor // Nails Inc Taken for Granite // Orly Bubbly Bombshell // Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle // Fancy Gloss Candy Cane // Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe // Fancy Gloss Sapphire Shards // Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance // Bright and Polished Black Dots

This category is a catch all for anything slightly different, so it's difficult to pit a shimmer topper against a glitter or thermal. After some thinking the following are my top three;

Amethyst ended up in third place, it is a ghost flakie topper in a amethyst colour. It looks particularly nice over a black.

Candy Cane is a glitter thermal, going from pink to red with red and white glitters. It's very much a Christmas appropriate polish.

The winner of this round is Sapphire Shards, which is another thermal going from light blue to dark blue with small blue flakies within. Rather than specifically Christmas appropriate this can be worn during winter and throughout the year.

   

Topic Tuesday: Cheapest Vs Expensive Polish

I think my cheapest polish would be one from Poundland, and the most expensive Deborah Lippmann (although I did get it in a destash so not full price). I chose both purple glitters, I think there is a difference between these two. However not so much between average priced polishes from Boots or Superdrug and more expensive ones.

Topic Tuesday: Past or Current ISO Polishes?

Earlier this month I got a few of my "in search of" polishes. When I got married in 2011 I had wanted to wear Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance but I couldn't find it in time so I went for a Revlon dupe.

   

Topic Tuesday: Do you have dupes?

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance. I went to purchase Bad Romance for my Wedding polish but the department store didn't have it in stock so I ended up with the Revlon one. Facets of Fuchsia is a purple hex and micro glitters in a blackened base.
