Nail Polish Battle 2024: Purple

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 73 new nail polishes which is  seven less than last year. Today's battle is purple polishes;

Cirque Colors Cool Blast // China Glaze Pure Imagination // Orly Alloy Matey // Orly Indigo Skies // Whatcha Psychedelic // Polished for Days Doom Buggy // Swamp Gloss The Alpha and the Beta // Orly Starlit Shale

I went through the eight purple polishes and picked out my top three;

Cool Blast is a cornflower leaning purple shade with pink flakes;

Indigo Skies is a cool toned mid purple cream polish;

Meaning Psychedelic is the winner of the purple nail polish battle, it is a purple to blue magnetic multichrome with iridescent flakes.
