Nail Polish Battle 2022: Light Purple

Today I am looking over my lighter purples, I've split the purples in to two as purple is the colour I appear to have bought this past year.


Picking my top three was tricky, however I ended up with a cream, a glitter and a flakie.


Third place is Gummy Bear which is a mid purple cream, not as visually interesting as the other two.


Sea Sapphires is second, my first polish from 'Ard as Nails. It is a cobalt jelly base packed with fuchsia ghost flakies.


Meaning the winner is Fairy Peas, which is my first Polish Molish. I found the round green glitters quite different from other glitter polishes. Fairy Peas is a purple jelly base with pink flakes and circular green glitters.

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Yellow, Orange and Gold

Today I am looking at the 14 yellow, orange, gold polishes, majority of them are from Barry M;


I don't often reach for these shades, but ended up picking the following for the top three.


In third place is Flaming June, it is a very bright but autumnal holo polish.


Second is Touch of Magic, its a warm bronze tone, almost a rose gold shade.


The winner of this round is Champagne Supernova, very much an autumnal polish which I have worn a few times during the past few months. Brown, orange, red, green duochrome with scattered holo.

Nail Polish Battle 2022: Green

Today's battle is green polishes, I don't have too many within this colour category.



Fizzy Apple is a deep bright green, a unique tone to my collection.


Choosing between the top two was difficult. I ended up picking Dragon Glass for second place, it is packed full of flakies.


In first place I've chosen Love and Tragedy, inspired by 90's movie Titanic. It is a very busy polish, magnetic, multichrome with flakies.

52 Week Nail Challenge: Violet

This week's prompt is 'Violet'. Here is a link to my 2012 version, as well as the image below my 2022 version. Also my white stamping polish changed colour when I top coated for some reason.
