Battle of Nail Polish 2013: Top Three!

These are the polishes which made it in to the top polishes of 2013, if you wanted to see which polish won last year then click here.

  
A England - Sleeping Palace | Sinful Colors - Snow Me White | Nails Inc - New York Noir

   
Barry M - Blue Grape | ELF - Sea Escape | Barry M - Mango

  
Leighton Denny - Be My Berry | Barry M - Greenberry | Layla - Flash Black 08

   

Ciate - Vintage | Barry M - Countess | Essie - Leading Lady

The top three of these polishes for me would be: Despite there being a lot of Barry M the top three surprisingly don't appear in there. I do think that Barry M does deserve an honourable mention as during 2013 the brand brought out hit after hit (excluding the sequin texture trio). Clearly though 2013 was the year of the holographic's runner up polishes are...

3) Layla - Flash Black - This polish is so stunning, it has a strong holo running through it and it dances even when not in direct sunlight.

2) Essie - Leading Lady - This polish is a great festive red, has a subtle glitter running through it which makes it festive without it being over the top.
 

And finally the top polish of 2013 is...

1) A England's Sleeping Palace from the Burne-Jones Dream collection. I like this one because it has a purple tone to it and of course it is a lovely holographic finish. The formula is perfect and the brush works fantastically. An A England polish came in at number two last year which goes to show how stunning, and works of art these polishes are.
