Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2022

Barry M - Prickly Pear // Barry M - Periwinkle // Models Own - Swan // A England - Angel Grace // Barry M - Holographic Sunburst

On Sunday it will be the Spring equinox, and so I'm sharing my Spring 2022 nail polish picks.

I have done this type of post before which you can see 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

You don't need these specific polishes, but these are ones that I want to reach for during Spring. I seem to have gone for all pastel polishes this year again, with a lot of purples.

Prickly Pear is a brighter pastel lilac shade, it is cream in finish and opaque in two coats.

Periwinkle is a spring offering from Barry M from earlier this year. It is a very light blue cream polish opaque in two coats.

Swan is a lilac crelly with black speckled glitters, opaque in three coats from a 2014 collection. Something very Easter appropriate about these types of polishes.

Angel Grace is a vivid holographic polish, which looks good in direct sunlight, again opaque in two coats.

Holographic Sunburst is another choice from Barry M, it is also holographic but not as vivid as Angel Grace. Looks good in direct sunlight and is opaque in two coats.

Nail Polish Battle 2018: Yellow, Gold, Beige

Seeing it is almost the end of 2018 it is time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have gotten and seeing which ones are my favourites.

So since last years nail polish battle I have 63 new nail polishes which is 10 more than last year.. Oops! Today I am looking at yellow, gold and beige ones.

China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // OPI - Gift of Gold Never Gets Old // ELF - Glamour Girl // Barry M - Sunburst // Barry M - Ginger // A England - Briarwood

The first thing was to work out my top three;

China Glaze - Werk It Honey! // Barry M - Sunburst // A England - Briarwood

China Glaze - Werk It Honey is a almost opaque in one coat, not something I would wear as is but something I have gotten quite a lot of wear from in the form of nail art this year.

Barry M - Sunburst, is a peach holographic polish. Originally when I saw this release I decided I didn't need it, however once I had seen it in store I changed my mind because it would be unique to my collection.

And the winner is, A England - Briarwood! I chose this as the winner as it is darker than the others, something I have been wearing recently and it is a beautiful autumnal holographic polish.
