Nail Polish Battle 2023: Blue

There were eight new polishes in this category in 2023;


Choosing my top three wasn't too hard;


Cornflower comes third, it is a nice mid blue cream polish. I like how deep it is without being too dark.


Blue Guava was from the summer release, I like how bright blue this cream is.


And so in first place is Written in the Stars, which is a light icy blue shimmer polish. I think snowflakes would look good over this.

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Red, Brown


Choosing of the top three wasn't too hard this round;


In third Persistent Memory, a cream dark red which isn't too dark on you can tell it is still a red.


Second place was harder to choose, in the end I went for Elysian Fields. It is a very marmite shade, and I can see myself reaching for it a lot during October.


The winner is Stop the Clock, a chocolate, autumn colour shimmer polish. This won as I see myself wearing it throughout autumn rather than for one month.


   

Topic Tuesday: Favourite Grey Polishes


Recently I got ILNP Orbit which is a nice grey multichrome, another new to my collection which I have liked was Orly Endless Night.
