Nail Polish Battle 2023: Pink

Pink is my least favourite polish colour, but I still ended up adding 10 to my collection;

Barry M Peony // Essie Lovey Dovie // Orly Meet Cute // Barry M Calla Lily // Orly Check Yes or No // Barry M Wild Fig // Orly Oh Darling // Barry M Poinsettia // OPI Charmed I'm Sure // OPI Feelin' Berry Glam

The top three from the pink polishes are below, the photo makes them look lighter than they are;

Meet Cute is a salmon pink cream, I like the Orly lids and the brushes they make the polish easy to apply.

In second place is Oh Darling, which is a bright mixture of pink and red.

The winner of the pink polishes is Poinsettia, a deep pink which has some purple in it too. The brush on Barry M Gelly polishes are wide and have a rounded cuticle which is my preference.

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Orange, Yellow, Gold

This past year I have added nine polishes in to this category;

Orly Claim to Fame // Orly On a Whim // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Pumpkin // Orly In the Conservatory // Orly Connect the Dots // Barry M Mistletoe // OPI Sleigh Bells Bling // ILNP Chai Latte

This wasn't too difficult to choose my favourite three as I don't really enjoy wearing gold polishes.

In third place is Claim to Fame, a warm cream polish somewhere between an orange and yellow;

Second place is In the Conservatory, a terracotta much deeper cream shade;

Which makes Sunflower the winner, it is another cream mid yellow to orange shade. It is something I wanted to wear compared to other typical yellow shades.

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Green

Now that it's December, it's time for my annual nail polish battle. I find it interesting to look back over the year at the new polishes I have acquired and seeing which ones are my favourites.

Since last years nail polish battle I have 80 new nail polishes which is 20 less than last year. Today's battle is green polishes;

Polish Molish Meadow // Barry M Pear // Barry M Cactus // Rogue Tomorrowland // Orly Metamorphosis // Barry M Pine // Danglefoot Sassenach

Choosing my top three wasn't too difficult, interesting to see none I chose were cream finishes;

In third place is Tomorrowland, a bright green flakie with black flakes;

In second place is Sassenach which was one of my last purchases of the year. It is a very shifty duochrome going from green to purple;

Which leaves Metamorphosis as the winner of the green polishes. It is a deep green with a copper shimmer shift, something I haven't seen before unlike the previous polish;
