Nail Polish Battle 2023: Orange, Yellow, Gold

This past year I have added nine polishes in to this category;

Orly Claim to Fame // Orly On a Whim // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Pumpkin // Orly In the Conservatory // Orly Connect the Dots // Barry M Mistletoe // OPI Sleigh Bells Bling // ILNP Chai Latte

This wasn't too difficult to choose my favourite three as I don't really enjoy wearing gold polishes.

In third place is Claim to Fame, a warm cream polish somewhere between an orange and yellow;

Second place is In the Conservatory, a terracotta much deeper cream shade;

Which makes Sunflower the winner, it is another cream mid yellow to orange shade. It is something I wanted to wear compared to other typical yellow shades.

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2023

Summer Solstice was last Wednesday and so I should get around to sharing my top summer polishes for 2022. These are the polishes from my collection I will be reaching for more often.

If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2022 here, 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

Orly Plastic Jungle // Orly Connect the Dots // Nails Inc Baker Street // Emily de Molly Rock Solid // Tonic Polish Jinx

Orly Plastic Jungle - A vivid green cream colour, opaque in two coats. Also very hard to photograph accurately.

Orly Connect the Dots - A warm almost neon peach cream, surprised at how much I liked this one. Bright and summery in two coats.

Nails Inc Baker Street - A classic within the nail polish realm, cream two coater mid blue. A similar blue would be Barry M Blue Guava.

Emily de Molly Rock Solid - The flakie of my picks, a blue base with blue purple iridescent flakes.

Tonic Polish Jinx - Finally is Jinx a very holographic silver polish, two coats and has a very clear rainbow flair reflection to it.
