Nail Polish: Battle of Duochromes, Neons and Magnetics

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the duochromes, neons and magnetics last year then click the colours to be taken to a new page. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have gotten since last year. Which is why Duochromes, Neons and Magnetics have been joined as I didn't seem to have as many of these this year.

Firstly looking at duochrome polishes:
Yes Love - 403 | Jade - Velvet | Angelica - Twilight | Rimmel - Purple Reign | ELF - Sea Escape

And the winner is:
ELF - Sea Escape, a gorgeous blackened green

And then the neons:
Ciate - Yellow Taxi | La Femme - Ultra Gold | ELF - Party Peach | Barry M - Mango | Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange

The winner is:
Barry M Mango, I really like this one the formula is perfect and pigmentation is great too.

And finally the magnetic polishes:
Essence - Iron Goddess | Essence - Steel Me | Essence - Magic Wand | Essence - Hex Hex | MUA - Leicester Square | 17 - Blue | 17 - Lilac | Barry M -Burgundy | Barry M - Dark Grey

The winner is:
As much as I really like the circular magnet on the MUA polish I have to chose Barry M Dark Grey as I prefer the colour of the polish on this one.



Nails: Festive Sweaters

Hope you aren't all sick of these festive sweater style nails! I think that Be My Berry is the perfect Christmas red, it is a metallic finish so it adds a little special twist on the traditional cremé red finish.

Nail Polish: Battle of Blacks, Greys and Pinks

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the blacks, greys and pinks last year then click the colours to be taken to a new page. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have gotten since last year. Which is why Black, Grey and Pink have been joined as I didn't seem to have as many of these this year.

Seventeen - Rock Hard Nail Effects - Black | Claire's - Black Leather Effect | Nails Inc - New York Noir

Winner is:
Nails Inc and Kate Spade New York Noir, who could resist such a classic cream black polish

Now a couple of grey polishes
La Femme - Grey Cream | Ciate - Vintage

Winner is:
Ciate Vintage, I like this one as it is darker in tone to the La Femme.


And finally the new pinks:
La Femme - Mocha Pink | La Femme - Pink Cream | Models Own - Pink Blush | La Femme - Figg

Winner is:
La Femme Figg, reason is this is a much more dusky pink with a hint of lilac than the others. Less in your face.
