Nail Polish Battle 2015: Purples
Purple nail polish is one of my favourites, which is why I have more new polishes than other colours!

I managed to whittle my way down to the top three;

China Glaze is a dark purple colour with a subtle fuchsia shimmer running through it.


Crown of Thistles is a stunning orchid holographic colour. One I wore a lot during 2015, and something which really comes to life when in direct sunlight.

However the winner of this battle is Kiko 255, a dark purple packed full of micro multi glitter. Almost galaxy like and gorgeous enough to wear as is.

Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - BP01


Born Pretty Store came out with their own stamping plates a little while ago now, I wasn't tempted to get this Christmas plate in Spring because festive nails seemed so far away. I ended up buying this one in August when it was on a special offer.

The plate itself is backed with paper, so no sharp edges. It has three full nail images and eight single images. The full nail images are quite small, you could get away with the large tree and the scene images but if you have longer nails then then snowflake plate would be tricky to work with.
The majority of the images stamped really easily, I had issues with the top of the swirly tree though.
Once I have used the stamping plate you will be able to click here for all the nail art using the plate.
I also have a 10% off code for the website which you can use if you want to;

Nail Polish Battle 2015: Reds
Another day, another battle. Looking at reds;

Barry M Poppy was eliminated because it leans slightly to the pink side. Grosvenor Crescent is really dark and lovely but the following two were just that bit special.

Leighton Denny Chestnut Charm is a beautiful autumnal colour which is a little bit different.

However the winner has to be Barry M Sparkling Ruby. It is one of the first two none cream finish Gelly polishes, with a lovely flat and wide brush. It has no glitter which means it is easy to remove. Very appropriate for this time of year which could be why it beat Chestnut Charm.
