Nail Polish Battle 2017: Metallic

Today I am looking at metallic polishes, I only have five of these so this round wasn't as difficult.

Barry M - Pink Ice // Barry M - Bronze Bae // Barry M - Copper Mine // Barry M - Copper Dreams // Barry M - Gingerbread

To begin with I got rid of Pink Ice and Bronze Bae.

Barry M - Copper Mine // Barry M - Copper Dreams // Barry M - Gingerbread

Copper Mine is a warm copper toned polish, its a nice rich copper shade which is different to a lot of the polishes I have in my collection.

Gingerbread was a Superdrug limited edition polish from A/W 2016. It is a glass flecked bronze shade which I really like for autumn.

Ultimately I went for Copper Dreams as the winner of this round, it is another Superdrug limited edition, this time from A/W 2017. This is a shimmer, glass flecked polish which is much more red toned than Gingerbread. Again it is something different in my collection.

Nail Polish Battle 2017: Nude and Pink

Today is the turn of nude and pink polishes, of which there are nine.

Barry M - Cotton // Barry M - Almond // Barry M - Pink Lemonade // Barry M - Olive // Barry M - Peanut Butter // Barry M - Dragon Fruit // Barry M - Acai Smoothie // Barry M - Pink Punch // A England - Briar Rose

Firstly choosing my top three;

Barry M - Cotton // Barry M - Peanut Butter // A England - Briar Rose

Peanut Butter is quite a unique polish in my collection, its not an orange, yellow or peach or really a nude either.

Briar Rose, this was an easy choice because it is the only holographic polish in this category. I like how it is a pink polish but is also more dusky in tone.

However the winner of this round is Cotton, a basic cream formula white polish. I chose this as the winner because it is such a good, opaque white polish.
