Nail Polish Battle 2023: Purple

There were 14 new polishes in this category in 2023;

Lumen Sunkissed Skies // Painted Polish Blueberry Bliss // Orly Serendipity // Barry M Wisteria // Orly Opposites Attract // Danglefoot Have You Got the Passports // Mooncat Smokescreen // Rogue Fantasyland // Barry M Orchid // Fancy Gloss Galaxy Orchid // KbShimmer How Polarizing // Penelope Luz Toss a Coin to Your Witcher // A England Van Helsing // A England Whitby Abbey

Trying to pick the top three of this category was hard.

Smokescreen is a magnetic polish, with a magenta shimmer;

Galaxy Orchid is a thermal cream going from purple when cold to blue when warm.

Which means the winner of this round is How Polarizing which is purple, navy magnetic polish with scattered holo particles.
