Nail Polish Battle 2019: Winner!
So the time has finally arrived for me to choose my favourite nail polish from the ones I got during 2019.
We left off with my top three;
Essie - Angora Cardi | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | A England - Goth
First I cut Angora Cardi from the three, because pink is my least favourite of the three colours.
A England have won my nail polish battle now for three years running. Goth is a beautiful deep aubergine, holographic polish. The formula is opaque in one coat and the brush is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle which is my favourite type. The shade is deep but it still is noticeably not black.

Finally I cut Blue Sea Star from the two because while it is unique to my collection, it is a cream finish and I prefer holographic. Which of course leaves Goth as my winner for 2019;

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Top Three
For today's nail polish battle I am showing all the winners from each round, and choosing the top three for 2019. Had I of looked at all of the polishes I had got during 2019 I really don't think choosing that way I would have ended up with these particular polishes. That said doing these polish battles is interesting and a fun way to overview my new polishes.
So from the seven I ended up with these three;
Angora Cardi is in the top three, it's a dusty, muted pink shade which for me is more wearable than the other pink polishes. It is something I seem to reach for more in autumn.
Rimmel - Blue Sea Star, made it in to the top three for similar reasons as Angora Cardi. A muted, dusty polish shade which is unique to my collection.
And finally making it in to the top three is A England - Goth. I really like the formula, the brush is flat, wide and rounded at cuticle. It is holographic and is dark aubergine but is still distinguishable from a standard black polish.
The winning polish of 2019 will be the next and final post in this series.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Blue
Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | OPI - Less is Norse | A England - Lady of Shalott | Revlon - Blackjack
Cutting one from the four wasn't too difficult, Lady of Shallot and Blackjack were quite similar but the A England has a slight purple shift as well as navy.
Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | OPI - Less is Norse | A England - Lady of Shalott
Less is Norse is a dusty cornflower blue which is nice, but the winner for me is Blue Sea Star. It is unique to my collection, its a mid toned blue, vibrant and yet somehow not in your face.
