Nail Polish: Battle of the Beiges

This is a battle of the beige polishes;

 

Leighton Denny - Leading Lady, ELF - Innocent, ELF - N*de, ELF - Pink, Leighton Denny - Take a Bow, ELF - Blush, ELF - Copper, ELF - Smokey Brown, George - Molton Metal, Ebalay - Rose Gold, ELF - Chocolate

Not my favourite battle but I do use a lot of them for nail art bases.

The winner is ELF's Smokey Brown, I have used up two of these and have this one plus a back up. It just works really well with my skin tone as a base for something more snazzy. Something I cannot be without.

31 Day Challenge: Gold

Base Polish: Ebalay - 004 Rose Gold
Stamping Polish: W7 - Rose Gold
Stamping Plate: M60 (Fauxnad)

Swatch: Stargazer - Silver Chrome

Challenge for today was Silver, as notoriously annoying are chrome polishes for brush strokes I still really like Stargazer Chrome. The bottle wrap may flake off badly but its a nice polish and it stamps nicely too.

Stargazer - Silver Chrome

ABC Nail Challenge: Q is for Quack

Base Polish: LaFemme - Skyblue Cream
Splodge Polish: Ciaté - Big Yellow Taxi
Stamping Polish: W7 - Black
Stamping Plate: Fauxnad - S10
Top Coat: Beauty Secrets Top Coat

Nail Polish: Battle of the Chunky Glitter

Another glitter round, this time it is the special hex glitter.

Barry M - Holograms, Barry M - Jewel Britania, Claire's - Slice of Shine, Kleancolor - Silver Star, Kleancolor - Blind Date, Need Me - 52, Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Black, Kleancolor - Afternoon Picnic, NYX - Dorothy, Essence - Blue Addicted, Kleancolor - Blue Eyed Girl, Revlon - Facets of Fuschia

This type of glitter is my favourite, which made this round particularly difficult to whittle down. Making it though is Barry M's Hex as it is so simple and versatile, Essence is really good too it is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe which is amazing.

Once I had chosen the top three it was quite easy to pick the winner... Revlon because it is what I wore for my wedding and it is purple. It is also a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. Facets of Fuschia also is now a permanent polish in the Revlon line, renamed Scandalous.

31 Day Challenge: Black and White

Having had a complete array of vibrant nails recently I think today calls for something neutral and calm. So to fit in with the new 31 day challenge, I opted for something white. This challenge is being ran by Crumpet's Nail Tarts.

Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud
Essence - Love Topcoat
