Nail Polish Battle 2023: Winner!

The top three of 2023 were;

Cold Weather Blues // How Polarizing // Orbit

Working out the winner was difficult.

Orbit was the first to go, it isn't massively unique to my collection. I do like it though, just similar but a bit different ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.

In second place Cold Weather Blues, I think this came second because of it being a thermal and the pigment doesn't last forever in those. It is a white to blue thermal with hex, micro and snowflake glitters.

Which means the 2023 new to my collection polish is, How Polarizing. As this is magnetic there isn't a shelf life to it which means I can enjoy it as is for as long as I have it. Its a navy magnetic polish with scattered holo particles.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Top Three

Below are the eight polishes which won each of their battles;

Orly Written in the Stars // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Poinsettia // Fancy Gloss Cold Weather Blues // KbShimmer How Polarizing // Orly Metamorphosis // Orly Stop the Clock // ILNP Orbit

Some of these were easy to get ride of, especially Sunflower as its currently December and its too bright for me at the moment. While I have chosen my top three currently I'm unsure which will win.

So the top three of 2023 is;

Cold Weather Blues is a white to blue thermal with hex, micro and snowflake glitters. Such a nice winter polish and I'm hoping the thermal pigment stays alive for some time to come.

How Polarizing is a navy magnetic polish with scattered holo particles.

ILNP Orbit is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.
