Nail Polish Battle 2022: Winner

Today is the final post looking at all the polishes joining my collection in the past 12 months. The following are the top three;

Fairy Peas // Sapphire Shards // Bloody and Bruised

So the first to be cut is Fairy Peas. It is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters. The reason why it finished in third place is because I don't like wearing glitters often as it can be a pain to remove, but it is a beautiful polish.

Choosing between the top two was difficult, in the end Bloody and Bruised came second place. It is a cream thermal changing from plum, blue to lilac. This is my first tri-thermal and you can clearly see all three colour shifts. The only thing that made this second and not first was how it is a cream thermal finish.

Which means Sapphire Shards is the top polish coming in to my collection this year. It is a thermal going from light blue to dark blue with small blue flakies within. This won as it is a thermal but has metallic flakies in which elevates it from the cream finish Bloody and Bruised.
