Nail Polish Battle 2020: Blue



Danny Boy Blue is a true colbalt blue, quite vivid similar to the original Sally Hansen Pacific Blue or Nails Inc Baker Street. No mistaking this for black or even a white, certainly a blue.


Dragons at Dusk is a beautiful duochrome polish, changing from blue to purple, there is also some teal in there too which is nice.


Which means the winner is The First Avenger which is a beautiful metallic primarily blue but a duochrome changing to purple on different angles.

Swatch: Essie - Mint Candy Apple

Mint Candy Apple was THE nail polish of the year in 2013. I didn't get it then, but saw it recently on sale for under £3 and picked it up. The shade has changed slightly since it's first incarnation in 2009 from slightly blue tinged green to a mint tinged green. The formula has also improved.
