Nail Polish: Battle of Glitters

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the Glitters last year then click here. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have bought since last year, which seem to be quite a lot when it comes down to glitters!

LÓreal - Confetti Top Coat | Barry M - Ruby Glitter | Leighton Denny - Razzmatazz | La Femme - Purple Glitter | Golden Rose - Jolly Jewels 115 | Sinful Colors - All About You | Essie - Cozy | Leighton Denny - I AM  DIVA | Models Own - Juicy Jules | Ciate - Magic Carpet | Essie - Leading Lady | Ciate - Enchanted Rose | La Femme - Jupiter 84 | Ciate - Glass Slipper | W7 - Boogie Nights

Nails Inc - Bow Street | Avon - Fuchsia Dazzle | Avon - Silver Plated | Technic - Carnival | Barry M - Marshmallow | Barry M - Liquorice | Barry M - Bubblegum | Barry M - Sour Apple | Barry M - Dolly Mixture | Barry M - Sequin White | Barry M - Sequin Black | Barry M - Sequin Pink

The top three from all of these glitters for me were Essie's Leading Lady, Nails Inc Bow Street and W7's Boogie Nights.

And the winner is:
Essie Leading Lady! I think this is because it is December and it is perfect for this time of year, at other times during the year I think it would change between the other two.

Nail Polish: Battle of Purples and Holographics

If you would like to see which nail polishes were battling it for the Purples last year then click here, last year there was no holographic polish battle. This year the battles will only be using the new polishes I have acquired since last year.

Barry M - Prickly Pear | Sinful Colors - Verbena | Ylin - Mood Changing Polish #7 | Ciate - Fade to Greige | Ciate - Cabaret | 17 - Royal Indigo | Yes Love - K033 | MUA - Deepest Purple | Barry M - Countess

And the winner is:
Very hard to choose the winner for this one. Coming second place would be Yes Love K033. I really like the colour of this one and the rubberized finish is something a little bit different. I chose Barry M's Countess as the winner because it is nice without topcoat but with topcoat is when it really comes in to its own, completely stunning.



Moving on to the Holographic polishes

Kleancolor - Holo Blue | Kleancolor - Holo Chrome | Kleancolor - Kiss Goodbye | Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Purple | Kleancolor - Midnight Seduction | GOSH - Holographic | Hits - Hefesto | Hits - Dionsio | Hits - Apolo | Jade - Violeta | Jade - Magia Negra | Layla - Flash Black

And the winner is:

As much as I wanted Jade Violeta to win, Layla Flash Black wins because even when this is nowhere near direct sunlight it looks really stunning on the nails which is quite amazing.

Winter Nail Challenge: Christmas Food - Quorn Family Roast

Christmas dinner is just a glorified Sunday Roast Dinner which I'm not really a fan of, sitting around a table and it being this massive thing just isn't something I like. Anyway being vegetarian I don't do the turkey thing, I usually have a bit of a Quorn Family Roast which is why I have done these nails. Something comical like the Greggs the Bakers Nails I did a while back.

Polishes Used: Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, Barry M - Mango

White Acrylic Paint

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.
