Nail Polish Battle: Miscellaneous

This is the last battle, and the category is everything that didn't fit elsewhere. There was 17 polishes in this battle;

KbShimmer Ex-Static // Orly On A Break^ // Orly Bohemian Child^ // Orly Chillax^ // Barry M Silver Stardust // Barry M Lavender Lights // Mooncat Fool's Gold // Orly Lost in the Maize^ // Orly Acid Trip^ // Orly Party Popper^ // Rogue Arson // Barry M Aqua Aura // Chamaeleon Little Mermaid // ILNP Mad House // ILNP Radioactive // Cirque Mood Ring // Emily de Molly Shadow Brew

Working out my top three wasn't too difficult, I ended up going with a photoreactive / solar polish, a duochrome crackle and a magnetic.


In third place is Shadow Brew, it doesn't look that good in the photo but as I wore it velvetised there was a good flip between black base and the aubergine shimmer;


Second place is Arson, its a duochrome crackle which I've not seen before;


Which means the winner is Little Mermaid, my second solar reactive polish. I don't often buy them because like thermals the pigments die. I like this polish in both forms so whichever it dies in I will still wear. It transitioned really fast in the summer sun and I would wear it more often but its not often sunny, particularly this time of year in Northern England.

Shopping: July 2025

July is my birthday month and I was given quite a few bits which I am grateful for;


ILNP After Hours // Cuticula Saguaro Sunset // KbShimmer Ex-Static // ILNP Take a Bow // Ethereal Midsummer Eve // Chameleon Little Mermaid

Aqua Aura // Lavender Lights // Silver Stardust

Orly was one of my go to mainstream brands, I no longer support the brand but was kindly given the 2022 collection and I will continue to use up the polishes but not purchase from myself.


Oh My Stars // Faux Fir // Lost in the Maize // Light My (Camp) Fire // Cran-Barely Believe It // I'll Misty You
