Nails: Top 5 Spring Polishes 2020

Barry M - Ocean Blue // Essie - Mint Candy Apple // Barry M - Papaya // W7 - Sheer Lemon // Barry M - Candy Floss

Today is the Spring equinox, not that it feels like a hopeful time. But Spring is here nonetheless and so I'm sharing my Spring 2020 nail polish picks. I have done this type of post before which you can see 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.

Ocean Blue is one of the newer polishes from Barry M, it is a light blue cream shade. This is very obviously a blue polish, so something to wear which is clearly not just an off white shade. Light enough though for Spring.

Essie Mint Candy Apple, this polish was THE nail polish a few years ago. This version leans green, a light mint green which as a pastel is very much a colour that screams Spring to me.

Barry M Papaya is the brightest of the polish I picked, not a vivid orange but a lighter, muted orange shade.

I don't have many yellow polishes but W7 Sheer Lemon is one of around five polishes I have. This one is a pastel polish but is clearly yellow rather than a off white shade.

Barry M Candy Floss, is a very light pink polish. This is something that screams Spring to me, very light though so perhaps something I wouldn't wear as is.

  

Topic Tuesday: Favourite White Polishes

White may not be a colour I choose to wear a lot, however I still need a couple in my collection.

W7 - White (swatch)
I like this one because it's cheap and is good for nail art, it isn't one I would want to wear as is though as it takes three coats to be opaque.

Barry M - Cotton (swatch)
The opacity of this is a two coater, and isn't streaky either. Flat, wide, rounded cuticle brush shape too which is my favourite type. Definitely my go to white polish.

OPI - Alpine Snow (swatch)
This goes in the same category as the W7 White, good but not the one I prefer over Cotton.

Nail Polish Battle 2018: White and Nude

Today I am looking back over the white and nude polishes from 2018.

W7 - White 34 // Barry M - Coconut // Barry M - Cream Soda // Barry M - Butterscotch Sundae // OPI - Taupe-less Beach

Next I selected my top three;

W7 - White 34 // Barry M - Cream Soda // OPI - Taupe-less Beach

W7 - White 34, white polishes aren't something I would wear as is, however they are great for nail art or as a base. This one is opaque in two coats and has a whopping 15ml inside.

OPI - Taupe-less Beach, this is a traditional beige shade. Really not much to say about it, I chose it for the top three because it was the darkest polish there!

The winner of this round is Barry M - Cream Soda, I chose this because it is a clean white shade, opaque in two coats and the brush type is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle which makes application very easy and not streaky.
