Nail Polish Battle 2025: Green

Now that it's December, it's time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have acquired and seeing which ones are my favourites.

Since last years nail polish battle I have 66 new nail polishes which is seven less than last year. Today's battle is green polishes;

Fancy Gloss Midori Sour // Orly Be Kind Rewind^ // Orly Yule Love This^ // Cuticula Saguaro Sunset // Orly Fleece to Meet You^ // Orly I'm Easily Suede^

Cutting them down to my top three wasn't too difficult, a shimmer, a holo and a flakie made it;

Fancy Gloss Midori Sour // Orly Yule Love This^ // Cuticula Saguaro Sunset

For me the winner has to be Midori Sour, its a neon green with a strong blue shimmer;
