Nail Polish Battle 2019: Yellow, Gold, Brown

 I think today is the most eclectic of the battles!


Breaking down the eight polishes and choosing my top three was quite easy. Maxim is a neutral red holographic polish, it is quite a subtle holographic. Camden Town was the second A England polish I chose, this is quite difficult to describe, a plum brown holographic. The holographic flair in this one is stronger than Maxim.


Which of course means that the surprising winner is Butterscotch. I say surprising because this colour isn't holographic and it is a bit of an unusual shade. A 70's mustard colour, which is very unique to my collection, and having over 500 polishes now that is quite a feat!

Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2019

A England - Puck A Fairy // OPI - I'll Have A Gin and Tectonic // China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Nails Inc - Regents Place // OPI - Do You Lilac It?

Today is officially the Spring equinox and so I thought now would be a good time to share my Spring 2019 nail polish picks. I have done this type of post before which you can see 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are the ones I reach for more during Spring. Pastel colours are mainly Spring specific, but I seem to also like a holographic pop of colour with Puck a Fairy.

A England - Puck A Fairy - A vibrant holo teal polish, great pop of colour.


OPI - I'll Have A Gin and Tectonic - A peachy nude, nice as a nail art base.


China Glaze - Werk It Honey! - Would it be a spring nail polish selection without a yellow? This one is opaque in two coats which is appreciated for a pale yellow.


Nails Inc - Regents Place - Pastel blue which leans lilac, verging on periwinkle.


OPI - Do You Lilac It? - Straight up lilac cremé polish, this one is ideal as a nail art base.
