Nail Polish Battle 2022: Pink and Red

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 100 new nail polishes which is 28 more than last year. Today's battle is pink and red polishes, and it seems like the majority of these are from Barry M.


Pink is one of my least worn polishes so cutting the 18 down to three wasn't too difficult;


Romantic was the first to go from the three, its quite bright.


Beetroot and Chase were harder to choose from, ultimately it became against cream and shimmer finishes. Beetroot came second as in this round I preferred the cream finish.


So Chase is the winner, it is a cream berry shade;

Nails Inc already have a polish called Pudding Lane, the other one is a blue speckled glitter one similar to the W7 Mosaic one I own. The formula was okay on this, I did smudge my little nail while it was drying though.

Also it is supposed to be Gingerbread scented, I didn't find this had any scent other than nail polish.
