Topic Tuesday: Only 10 Polishes from Collection?

With owning over 700 polishes it is difficult to only choose 10 polishes to keep. I think the easiest way to choose would be to look at the winners of my previous nail polish battles where I chose the best new polish to my collection every year for over a decade now. I still can't choose a 10th polish though! 

Cat Tail Bloody and Bruised

2021 - Danglefoot Cyclops

2020 - ILNP Eclipse

2018 - A England Briarwood

2017 - A England In Robe and Crown

2015 - Kiko Violet Microglitter 255

2014 - W7 Twilight

2013 - A England Sleeping Palace

2011 - Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

   

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Winner

Today is the final post looking at all the polishes joining my collection in the past 12 months. The following are the top three;

Fairy Peas // Sapphire Shards // Bloody and Bruised

So the first to be cut is Fairy Peas. It is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters. The reason why it finished in third place is because I don't like wearing glitters often as it can be a pain to remove, but it is a beautiful polish.

Choosing between the top two was difficult, in the end Bloody and Bruised came second place. It is a cream thermal changing from plum, blue to lilac. This is my first tri-thermal and you can clearly see all three colour shifts. The only thing that made this second and not first was how it is a cream thermal finish.

Which means Sapphire Shards is the top polish coming in to my collection this year. It is a thermal going from light blue to dark blue with small blue flakies within. This won as it is a thermal but has metallic flakies in which elevates it from the cream finish Bloody and Bruised.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Top Three

Today I am looking at all eight polishes which won each previous rounds to work out what the top three polishes are which have come in to my collection within the past year.

Polish Molish Fairy Peas // Barry M Chase // Fancy Gloss Sapphire Shards // Danglefoot Champagne Supernova // Whatcha Love and Tragedy // Cat Tail Bloody and Bruised // Wildflower Stolen Flame // Orly Liquid Vinyl

Fairy Peas, I found the round green glitters quite different from other glitter polishes. Fairy Peas is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters.

Chase is a cream berry shade, it is very basic compared to others in this battle.

Sapphire Shards is a thermal going from light blue to dark blue with small blue flakies within.

Champagne Supernova, is quite autumnal. Brown, orange, red, green multichrome with scattered holo.

Love and Tragedy is a busy polish with lots going on, magnetic, green to purple multichrome with flakies.

 

Bloody and Bruised is a cream thermal changing from plum, blue to lilac.

Stolen Flame is a blue / purple packed with flakies and micro holo glitters.

Finally Liquid Vinyl, which is a basic black cream polish. It is very opaque, has a paddle shaped brush and has quickly become my go to black polish.

After looking at eight polishes I have whittled them down to Fairy Peas, Sapphire Shards and Bloody and Bruised;
