Topic Tuesday: Favourite Ugly Polish Colour

I think from my collection my favourite 'ugly' polish colour would be a mustard yellow. Something I seem to reach for in Autumn rather than Summer but still it isn't a colour you would look at and go "ooh beautiful shade" but I do like it in Autumn.

Topic Tuesday: Least Favourite Colour and Why Buy?

Today's question is how many of your least favourite colour do you own and why do you buy them?

This was a toss up between yellow and pink, but I would wear some pinks as is so I have to say yellow is my least favourite polish colour.

Barry M - Lemon Sorbet // W7 - Sheer Lemon // China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Barry M - Banana Split // Color Club - Almost Famous // Barry M - Mustard // Barry M - Butterscotch

I have seven yellow polishes, and I have bought them because I do use them. The lighter ones are nice for spring accents, or reverse stamping and the darker two are nice for autumn type nail art designs.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Top Three

For today's nail polish battle I am showing all the winners from each round, and choosing the top three for 2019. Had I of looked at all of the polishes I had got during 2019 I really don't think choosing that way I would have ended up with these particular polishes. That said doing these polish battles is interesting and a fun way to overview my new polishes.

Barry M - Butterscotch | OPI - I Pull The Strings | Essie - Angora Cardi | Barry M - Blueberry Muffin | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | Superchic Lacquer - Zombie Crush | A England - Goth

So from the seven I ended up with these three;

Essie - Angora Cardi | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | A England - Goth

Angora Cardi is in the top three, it's a dusty, muted pink shade which for me is more wearable than the other pink polishes. It is something I seem to reach for more in autumn.

Rimmel - Blue Sea Star, made it in to the top three for similar reasons as Angora Cardi. A muted, dusty polish shade which is unique to my collection.

And finally making it in to the top three is A England - Goth. I really like the formula, the brush is flat, wide and rounded at cuticle. It is holographic and is dark aubergine but is still distinguishable from a standard black polish.

The winning polish of 2019 will be the next and final post in this series.

  

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Yellow, Gold, Brown

 I think today is the most eclectic of the battles!

Barry M - Banana Split | Barry M - Butterscotch | OPI - I'll Have a Gin and Techtonic | Barry M - Tangerine | OPI - Dazzling Dew Drop | A England - Maxim | A England - Camden Town | Born Pretty Store - Frantic Fire 

Breaking down the eight polishes and choosing my top three was quite easy. Maxim is a neutral red holographic polish, it is quite a subtle holographic. Camden Town was the second A England polish I chose, this is quite difficult to describe, a plum brown holographic. The holographic flair in this one is stronger than Maxim.

Which of course means that the surprising winner is Butterscotch. I say surprising because this colour isn't holographic and it is a bit of an unusual shade. A 70's mustard colour, which is very unique to my collection, and having over 500 polishes now that is quite a feat!
