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: Polish of the Decade (2011 - 2021)

Since 2011 I have gone through my collection and picked out my favourite polish of each year, this post is looking back at the past winners and working out my polish of the decade. I still have all but one of the polishes, Models Own Gun Grey which I used up so excuse the dodgy photo editing!

2011 - Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

2012 - Models Own Gun Grey

2013 - A England Sleeping Palace

2014 - W7 Twilight

2015 - Kiko Violet Microglitter 255

2016 - Cupcake Berry Good Looking

2017 - A England In Robe and Crown

2018 - A England Briarwood

2019 - A England Goth

2020 - ILNP Eclipse

2021 - Danglefoot Cyclops

I looked over my polishes and chose these as the top three;

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia // A England In Robe and Crown // A England Goth

First of the three to be eliminated is Facets of Fuchsia, only because it is a glitter and I don't like removing those.

In second place is Goth, while I do really like this polish it is very dark and in standard lighting it tends to look black. Whereas in direct light you can tell it is both holographic and deep, deep purple.

 

Which means the winner of this is In Robe and Crown! This polish is similar to Goth but in all lighting you can tell it is supposed to be a dark purple, when in direct sunlight it has a beautiful holographic flair to it.

Nail Polish Battle 2018: Winner!

So the top three were A England's Briarwood, Danglefoot Polish Oh Plesiosaur and A England Moth A Fairy.

A England - Moth A Fairy was the first polish to be eliminated, because it was the lightest of the three and I do prefer darker polishes.

The next two were very difficult to chose between. I do love both of the polishes, but I chose Danglefoot Oh Plesiosaur for second place because of what I have been wearing the most recently.

Which of course means A England - Briarwood is the winner of my nail polish battle 2018. I chose this one because it really has been one I have been wearing a lot of recently. I even wore it as is which is rare for me. It's the perfect autumnal holographic polish.
