Nail Polish Battle 2020: Black

Rimmel - Rita's Black // Danglefoot - Higitis Figitus // Uberchic - Say Boo and Scary On // A England - The Princes in the Tower // A England - The Raven

A difficult category for me, I think the easiest one to eliminate is Rita's Black because it isn't opaque enough in one coat.

The Raven is a very dark scattered holo polish, I didn't find it as holographic as other A England polishes but it is very dark which is what you want for a black.

Second place is Higitis Figitus, the holo is very strong in this one but because it has more pigment in it the darkness of it is lessened.

Which means the winner is Say Boo and Scary On, a very dark navy holographic polish.

Topic Tuesday: None Traditional December Polish

So far this December I have been wearing a lot of holographic purples. Purple doesn't seem to be a typical festive season polish.

Nail Polish Battle 2020: Glitter and Flakies

NeVerMind - Slendy // Painted Polish - Blue Jean Baby // Dystopia - Couldn't Miss This One This Year // OPI - Let's Celebrate // OPI - Born to Sparkle // Fancy Gloss - Magma // Femme Fatale - Weird Sisters

I found coming up with my top three difficult, which is surprising given I don't like glitter. Slendy is particularly unique to my collection and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The following made it in to the top three.

Weird Sister is quite a unique polish, a thermal that goes from black to clear with added glitters. I haven't owned a thermal that goes clear prior to this.

  

In second place, Couldn't Miss This One This Year which again is a very unique polish to me. Everyone has heard of thermal changing polishes whereas this one actually changes colour in direct sunlight. Blue to purple colour change packed with flakies.

 

Which means the winner is Magma, which is a flakie topper. The colour shifts in this duochrome is stunning, all of the autumnal colours in a polish. Also it looks great with a matte topcoat.

 

  

Swatch: ILNP - Love Language

Love Language is part of the Fall into Winter collection, described as a deep cabernet red. I think it is a maroon, either way it has a very strong holographic flare to it.

I didn't get to photograph this in direct sunlight as it is winter now in Northern England.

Nail Polish Battle 2020: Green and Yellow

Today is a battle of green, yellow, nude, gold and silver. The hodgepodge of polish colours!

Barry M - Wild Mint // Barry M - Pistachio // Barry M - Rainforest Green // Barry M - Iced Latte // Barry M - Lemon Sorbet // Orly - Glowstick // OPI - Many Celebrations to Go // Tonic Polish - Jinx

Choosing my top three wasn't too difficult in this category. First of all is Iced Latte, something I have been reaching for a lot for nail art.

Glowstick is very much a highlighter yellow, very bright and something I specifically had to go look for this year when I realised I didn't own a shade like this.

Which means that Jinx is the winner, another one I had to specifically look for as I almost used up my original GOSH Holographic. While this isn't a dupe it is pretty stunning all the same.
