Nail Art: Weird Pink

I have set myself the challenge of using up Champneys Pink, I have many pink polishes I never reach for so it would be good to use them up. Excuse the tip wear, I wasn't sure I liked these nails, the pink has Weird Sisters which is a clear to black thermal.

Nail Polish Battle 2016: Reds and Berries Polishes

Essie - Fiji // Barry M - Rose Hip // Barry M - Sugar Plum // Champneys - Pink // Barry M - Pomegranate // Essie - Shall We Chalet // Essie - Fishnet Stockings // Essie - Bahama Mama // Nails Inc - Piccadilly Circus // A England - Let Me // OPI - Let Your Love Shine

While there were a few different options to chose in this section I ended up with a Barry M, Nails Inc and A England. The first two are very much berry toned cream polishes and the last a holographic.

The winner is Let Me In, a berry holographic. It is very almost a one coater, what I like is how this is definitely a berry tone rather than leaning too far to either pink or red.

Nail Polish Battle 2016: Purple Polishes

Over the past year the purple polishes seem to have been the colour which I have gotten the most of.

Essie - Virgin Snow // Barry M - Vintage Violet // Barry M - Berry Cosmo // Leighton Denny - Raspberry Affair // Nails Inc - Clarence Avenue // Champneys - Plum // Champneys - Mulberry // Sally Hansen - Plum Luck // W7 - Chocolate Pudding // Barry M - Nightshade // NYC - West Village

Breaking down this category was difficult, I ended up with Nails Inc, Sally Hansen and a Barry M. All are darker purple colours.

Clarence Avenue won however because Nails Inc have the best brushes in my opinion. Flat and wide with a curved cuticle which means little to no clean up with is great. This polish is clearly purple where as the other two are very dark, especially the Barry M one, it almost looks black.
