Nail Polish: Battle of the Blues

Battle of the blues, so many blues to choose from!

Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream, Collection 2000 - Electric Dreams, Essence - Let's Get Lost, MUA - Smurf Blue, Barry M - Chameleon Blue, Stargazer - Blue Chrome, Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction, Models Own - True Blue, Barry M - Retro Blue, Barry M - Blue Plum Gelly, Max Factor - Odyssey  Kleancolor - Metallic Blue, Sleek - Oxford, Sinful Colors - Hot Spot, OPI - Road House Blues, Eyeko - Cosmic, No.7 - Betty Blues, ELF - Navy, MUA - Navy

Cutting down all of those polishes to just four wasn't too difficult, Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream is such a nice cream base polish perfect for nail art. Miss Sporty - Pop Fiction is quite a unique periwinkle blue, shame it smells really weird.

Making the final two are Barry M and OPI. The Blue Plum is just so rich of a colour and covers in just one coat.

And the winner is... Road House Blues! It's just more of a colder navy compared to the Barry M. Something very wearable, plenty of polish in there (15ml) and the brush makes application so easy.

Nail Polish: Battle of the Silver / Grey

Second post in this series and today we are looking at all the silvers and grey polishes, which wins?

Primark - Glo Baby Glo, Stargazer - Silver Chrome, George - Witchcraft, Miss Sporty - 420, ELF - Metal Madness, Revlon - Steel Me, OPI - My Private Jet, Models Own - Gunmetal

These were my top two of the grey / silvers, Metal Madness is a lovely silver polish with a whole load of almost holo glitter packed in. Gunmetal is a perfect metal polish without being a cream, chrome or a shimmer polish.

 

And the winner is Models Own Gunmetal!

Nails: String Lights

I've seen a lot of nails like this, so I take no credit for the idea!

Nail Polish: Battle of the Black

Not sure this introduction is really needed but I am doing a series of posts to find out which polishes are the best in my 'collection' as of 2012. This as the title suggests is BATTLE OF THE BLACK, I am actually suprised at how few black polishes I have.

Models Own - Black / Red, OPI - Obscurity  No 7 - Beautifully Black, Barry M - Black Multi Glitter, W7 - Black, ELF - Black

 .

I really struggled to choose my favourite polish from the bunch. The Barry M is really nice, good formula and has a stunning holo packed in there. Then we have W7 Black which is a really good coverage polish, as a bonus it is amazing for stamping as well as straight polishing. Which is why I am putting both through in to the next round.
