Topic Tuesday: Favourite Purple Polishes

I have lots of purple polishes, I don't think I could choose one favourite so here are some of them;

 

A England - To The Lighthouse // Rogue Lacquer - Spiced Plums

 

Danglefoot - Buttons for Eyes // A England - Lenore

 

Danglefoot - Bones // Barry M - Oasis

  

Nail Polish Battle 2020: Purple

I appear to have a thing for purple polishes having 19 new ones in 2020!

Barry M - Lavender // Barry M - Grape Soda // Rimmel - Lovey Dovey // Barry M - Native Purple // Sinful Colors - Kommotion // Danglefoot - Bones // OPI - Hello Pretty // ILNP - Love Language // A England - New Romantic // Danglefoot - Buttons for Eyes

Danglefoot - Across the Universe // OPI - Suzi and the Artic Fox // Tonic - Peacock Parade // Tonic - Pegasus Parade // Tonic - Pixie Parade // OPI - Turn on the Northern Lights // Tonic - The Answer is 42 // A England - Lenore // ILNP - Eclipse

This particular battle was difficult to whittle it down to my top three as there are so many beautiful polishes.

Pegasus Parade which is a purple blue duochrome polish, quite shifty and difficult to photograph! There is also some maroon in there too depending on the light and angle.

The Answer is 42 is a duochrome purple blue polish which I struggle to photo, it also has flakies and scattered holographic pieces.

Which means that Eclipse is the winner, this is such a shifty multichrome it was hard to know what colour category to go in. Looks black straight on, changing to red, orange, yellow, beautiful.

Topic Tuesday: What is your favourite polish effects type?

Overall I would say that I prefer to use holographic finish polishes, something I like about them is that they are easy to remove unlike glitter polish. Also they can be particularly stunning in direct sunlight.
