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: Orange, Yellow, Gold

This past year I have added nine polishes in to this category;

Orly Claim to Fame // Orly On a Whim // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Pumpkin // Orly In the Conservatory // Orly Connect the Dots // Barry M Mistletoe // OPI Sleigh Bells Bling // ILNP Chai Latte

This wasn't too difficult to choose my favourite three as I don't really enjoy wearing gold polishes.

In third place is Claim to Fame, a warm cream polish somewhere between an orange and yellow;

Second place is In the Conservatory, a terracotta much deeper cream shade;

Which makes Sunflower the winner, it is another cream mid yellow to orange shade. It is something I wanted to wear compared to other typical yellow shades.
