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.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Pink

Pink is my least favourite polish colour, but I still ended up adding 10 to my collection;

Barry M Peony // Essie Lovey Dovie // Orly Meet Cute // Barry M Calla Lily // Orly Check Yes or No // Barry M Wild Fig // Orly Oh Darling // Barry M Poinsettia // OPI Charmed I'm Sure // OPI Feelin' Berry Glam

The top three from the pink polishes are below, the photo makes them look lighter than they are;

Meet Cute us a salmon pink cream, I like the Orly lids and the brushes they make the polish easy to apply.

In second place is Oh Darling, which is a bright mixture of pink and red.

The winner of the pink polishes is Poinsettia, a deep pink which has some purple in it too. The brush on Barry M Gelly polishes are wide and have a rounded cuticle which is my preference.
