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;

   

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Pink and Red

Now that it's December, it's time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have acquired and seeing which ones are my favourites.

Since last years nail polish battle I have 100 new nail polishes which is 28 more than last year. Today's battle is pink and red polishes, and it seems like the majority of these are from Barry M.

Barry M Rose Champagne // Barry M Marshmallow // Barry M Trick // Barry M Cherish // Barry M Strawberry Cheesecake // Barry M Strawberry Whip // OPI 7th and Flower // Barry M Rural // Barry M Red Velvet // Barry M Radiate // Barry M Chase // Barry M Carnation // Barry M Beetroot // Barry M Moment // Barry M Romantic // Barry M Scarlet // Orly Crawford's Wine // Orly Naughty

Pink is one of my least worn polishes so cutting the 18 down to three wasn't too difficult;

Chase // Romantic // Beetroot

Romantic was the first to go from the three, its quite bright.

Beetroot and Chase were harder to choose from, ultimately it became against cream and shimmer finishes. Beetroot came second as in this round I preferred the cream finish.

So Chase is the winner, it is a cream berry shade;
