Nail Polish Battle 2014: Nude + Other

For some reason  Leighton Denny polishes have been ruling the nude's during 2014!

 Leighton Denny - Créme de la Créme //  Leighton Denny - Opaque Elegance //  Leighton Denny - Supermodel //  Leighton Denny - Just Perfect

And the winner is Opaque Elegance, I really like this polish as a base for something. Great for stamping over, I particularly liked the cameo nails I used this for (here).

 

Next up we have the two polishes which didn't quite fit in under any other category!

OPI - Alcatraz... Rocks // Primark P.S - Glow in the Dark

The winner is the OPI, while the glow in the dark polish is fun for Halloween it isn't as versitile as the OPI which I really like.

 

Nails Inspired by Black Embellished Dress

I used negative space around the cuticle to resemble the v shape neckline, a nude base with black lace for the fabric and some black striping tape around the middle nails to create the ribbon which cinches in the waist of the dress.
