Barry M - Cotton // Barry M - Holographic Lights // Avon - Lilac Love // Nails Inc - Star Street // Barry M - Dragon Fruit

Spring actually began a few weeks ago so I am a little late in doing this post, but after missing last year I thought it would still be good to share my picks for 2017. You can see my picks from 2013 here, 2014 here and 2015 here. Of course you don't need these specific brands and colours but something along these lines are very Spring appropriate, if that is what you are looking for.

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Neons + Nudes

Leighton Denny - Sink in to Mink // Nails Inc - Star Street // China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Leighton Denny - Hot Under The Collar // Glamour - 791

The first two were easy to eliminate, the Glamour polish isn't very pigmented and needs 3-4 coats to build up opacity. Sink in to Mink is a great nail art base but on its own isn't that special.

Hot Under The Collar is quite a vibrant orange with a glass fleck finish. More a delicate orange compared to the straight up neon Flip Flop Fantasy.

In the top two are Nails Inc and China Glaze.

 

Star Street is a pale peach colour, a soft delicate kind of shade which would get a lot of wear in spring. The brush on these polishes are great as well, flat and wide with a curved end so it easily fits against the cuticle.

All that said the winner for me is Flip Flop Fantasy, a bright neon orange. Very hard to get a colour accurate photo of! There are a couple of incarnations of this polish, not sure which this one I have is, however it isn't the first one. One I think would be great for the summer.
