Nail Polish Battle 2024: Winner!

I started doing the nail polish battle at the beginning of the month and I only am writing this the day before I post it. Getting to a top three was difficult enough and so working out which polish is my favourite for 2024 was hard.

Emily de Molly The Same Path // Dam It's Electric // Whatcha Psychedelic

The Same Path is a unique S shape glitter topper with some smaller glitter particles. This polish came third only because it is a glitter and I prefer other finishes as they're easier to remove;

In second place is It's Electric which is an electric vivid blue purple polish which seems to change between the two colours depending on the lighting. It came second because it is so strongly pigmented it stained my nails terribly, although I didn't use a base coat. 

Which means that the winner of my 2024 nail polish battle is Psychedelic. It is a purple to blue magnetic multichrome with iridescent flakes, wearing it in the velvet style it goes from black at the edges along with the flakes, then purple to blue at the forefront.
