Nail Polish Battle 2016: Blue and Green Polishes

Barry M - Sugar Apple // Sally Hansen - Mojito // Barry M - Cardamom // Nails Inc - Hyde Park Court // Champneys - Wisteria // NYC - Water Street Blues // Kiko - Cerulean Blue // Make Up Gallery - Sapphire Blue

I managed to break down this category to two blues and two greens. Wisteria is such an odd colour, I think I would describe it as being cornflower blue. Kiko is very vivid and a great pop of colour.

That said I chose Cardamom as the winner as it is such a unique colour, it is a dusty green toned polish. Lovely formula as well.

Summer Nail Challenge: Sunset

Last challenge of 'Summer 2012 Nail Challenge' which was quite a challenge but one I managed to do every challenge of. This is Summer Sunset, late in the summer it is warm enough to say outside the sun goes down slowly hence the warm twinkles as the sky and the sun join.

52 Week Challenge: Week 12 - Christmas

Theme this week was Christmas. I'd been wanting to try out the gingerbread man design.

Stamping Plate: BM222

Swatch: NYC - West Village 204B Polish

This is a crème finish nail polish, it has no shimmer to it despite it looking as it does with the flash. It is a deep dark blue, a true navy. What I like about this polish is while it is dark on the nail you can tell its navy rather than black.

Lasting Power: Average

Opacity: Three coats needed

Brush type: Standard
