Nail Polish: Battle of Reds and Greens

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the red last year then click here, and Greens here. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have got since last year.

Barry M - Passion Fruit | Essie - Snap Happy | Ciate - Mistress | Nails Inc - Luminous Metallic Red | Ciate - Dangerous Affair | Leighton Denny - Be My Berry | La Femme - Aubergine | Jacava - Damson

And the winner is:
Leighton Denny - Be My Berry, I think this is the perfect Christmas red. Had I have been doing this during the summer I think there may very well have been a different winner.



Moving on to the Greens
Ciate - Mojito | Barry M - Key Lime | Barry M - Greenberry | La Femme - Mint Cream | Collection 2000 - Electirc Dreams | Yes Love - K033 | ELF - Green Machine | OPI - Die Another Day

And the winner is:
Barry M Greenberry, purely because it is a very unique colour in my polish collection and the formula is perfect.

Nail Polish: Battle of Duochromes, Neons and Magnetics

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the duochromes, neons and magnetics last year then click the colours to be taken to a new page. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have gotten since last year. Which is why Duochromes, Neons and Magnetics have been joined as I didn't seem to have as many of these this year.

Firstly looking at duochrome polishes:
Yes Love - 403 | Jade - Velvet | Angelica - Twilight | Rimmel - Purple Reign | ELF - Sea Escape

And the winner is:
ELF - Sea Escape, a gorgeous blackened green

And then the neons:
Ciate - Yellow Taxi | La Femme - Ultra Gold | ELF - Party Peach | Barry M - Mango | Sinful Colors - Courtney Orange

The winner is:
Barry M Mango, I really like this one the formula is perfect and pigmentation is great too.

And finally the magnetic polishes:
Essence - Iron Goddess | Essence - Steel Me | Essence - Magic Wand | Essence - Hex Hex | MUA - Leicester Square | 17 - Blue | 17 - Lilac | Barry M -Burgundy | Barry M - Dark Grey

The winner is:
As much as I really like the circular magnet on the MUA polish I have to chose Barry M Dark Grey as I prefer the colour of the polish on this one.



Nails: Festive Sweaters

Hope you aren't all sick of these festive sweater style nails! I think that Be My Berry is the perfect Christmas red, it is a metallic finish so it adds a little special twist on the traditional cremé red finish.
