Nail Polish Battle 2025: Winner!

Finally today I am working out my favourite nail polish to enter my collection in 2025.

My top three were;

Rogue Happiest Day on Earth // Rogue Twinkling Vibes // Orly Light My (Camp) Fire^

In third place was Light My (Camp) Fire^, a very glowy orange shimmer polish;

Choosing between the top two was very difficult, however in second place is Twinkling Vibes a blurple base and purple, cyan and magenta flakies;

Meaning in top place, the winner is Happiest Day on Earth is a bright punchy blue polish with blue, aqua and black flakies;

  

Nail Polish Battle 2025: Top Six

So today we are looking at the winners from the previous battle posts, there was six categories and so six winners. Surprisingly three of the winners were Rogue Lacquer polishes;

Fancy Gloss Midori Sour // Rogue Happiest Day on Earth // Rogue Twinkling Vibes

Orly Light My (Camp) Fire^ // Rogue Arson // ILNP Roulette

Midori Sour, is a bright green polish with a strong blue contrasting shimmer;

Arson is a multichrome crackle polish which is very unique;

Roulette is a copper, black, magnetic polish with a scatted holo;

 

However, as much as I like the above polishes the top three of 2025 are;

Rogue Happiest Day on Earth // Rogue Twinkling Vibes // Orly Light My (Camp) Fire^

Happiest Day on Earth is a bright blue polish with blue, aqua and black flakies;

Twinkling Vibes has a blurple base and purple, cyan and magenta flakies;

Light My (Camp) Fire had been on my wishlist since 2022, it is a orange base with a strong golden shimmer to it;

And the final post will be after 25th once I have finally decided on which of the top three are the actual winner of my 2025 polishes!
