Topic Tuesday: What Are Your Nail Goals For 2024?

I think in 2024 I would like to do my nails more often again, and wear more of my whole collection.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: Top Three

Below are the eight polishes which won each of their battles;

Orly Written in the Stars // Barry M Sunflower // Barry M Poinsettia // Fancy Gloss Cold Weather Blues // KbShimmer How Polarizing // Orly Metamorphosis // Orly Stop the Clock // ILNP Orbit

Some of these were easy to get ride of, especially Sunflower as its currently December and its too bright for me at the moment. While I have chosen my top three currently I'm unsure which will win.

So the top three of 2023 is;

Cold Weather Blues is a white to blue thermal with hex, micro and snowflake glitters. Such a nice winter polish and I'm hoping the thermal pigment stays alive for some time to come.

How Polarizing is a navy magnetic polish with scattered holo particles.

ILNP Orbit is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.

   

Nail Polish Battle 2023: White, Grey, Black, Nude

This past year I have added ten polishes in to this category;

Cirque Colors Last Unicorn // Orly Ceci N'est Pas Blanc // Orly Dreamers Awake // Orly Unravelling Story // Orly Endless Night // ILNP Orbit // I Scream Nails Holo Be Thy Name // Orly Shaky Alibi // Barry M Cinnamon // Orly Act of Folly

After thinking about it the following were my top three;

In third place is Endless Night, a gunmetal grey metallic which leans slightly blue.

Second place is Holo Be Thy Name, a dark black linear holographic polish. Hard to make a dark holographic because the partials that do that are grey which lightens polishes. I like this one, the bottle is unique too.

Picking between the top two was difficult, however Orbit won because I own quite a few black holographic polishes and Orbit is unique. It is a grey to red ultra multichrome polish, similar to ILNP Eclipse but grey rather than black.

   

Nail Polish Battle: Glitter, GITD, Jelly, Thermal

This category is a catch all for all other new polishes which haven't fit in to other battles.

Fancy Gloss Violet Ghost // Fancy Gloss White Ghost // Barry M Sprinkles // Cirque Colors Snow Angel // Emily de Molly Isolate // Fancy Gloss Whiteout // Emily de Molly Cosmic Love // Fancy Gloss Rust Shards // Orly Wing It // Orly Spellbound // Orly Wild Card // Fancy Gloss Evil Pumpkin // Fancy Gloss Evil Alien // Orly Oasis Jelly // Fancy Gloss Cold Weather Blues // Fancy Gloss Evil Witch // Orly Mystic Jelly // Orly Smoke Jelly

As there was so many in this category it took some time to work out the top three;

In third place is Wild Card which is a purple, green, black hex glitter topper polish. It is a great one for Halloween month;

The second place polish is Wing It, a black bat shaped glitter with micro black glitters. This is very unique to my collection and although it takes some dabbing to spread across the nail it is definitely worth it;

Choosing the winner was really hard, Cold Weather Blues is a white to blue thermal with hex, micro and snowflake glitters. Such a nice winter polish and I'm hoping the thermal pigment stays alive for some time to come.
