52 Week Challenge: Inspired by a Book

This week's prompt is 'Inspired by a Book' today's nails are inspired by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. The bubbles on my thumb are from the heatwave we had in the UK, although I think it works with nautical themed nails.

Here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version;

Nail Polish Battle 2021: Nude and Brown

Previously I looked at the pink, red, orange and yellow polishes, green polishes, glitter polishes from 2021, today I am looking at brown and nude polishes.

Barry M - Vanilla Slice // Barry M - Down to Earth // Barry M - Tiramisu // Barry M - Mushroom // Barry M - Cafe au Lait // Barry M - Chai Latte // Barry M - Cappuccino // Aj Nails - Venus // Danglefoot - I'm Gonna Wreck It! // Barry M - Espresso

Out of the ten polishes I worked out my top three;

Cappuccino was part of the Autumn 2021 Nude gelly collection, I chose this mid brown shade as its not too dark or too light. I think it a good basic cream polish. Comes with a paddle brush and is opaque in two coats.

I'm Gonna Wreck It! is a holographic brown polish which I liked wearing in autumn, it was part of the Under Appreciated Disney Holo's collection. It took two coats to achieve fully opacity and has a flat, wide brush.

Meaning the winner is; Aj Nails Venus This was a more recent purchase, I was looking for a duochrome polish with the same colour shift as the flakes in Fancy Gloss Magma, which came second in 2020 nail polish battle. This polish has a beautiful red, orange, green shift which I really liked wearing this past autumn.
