Nail Polish Battle 2014: Nude + Other

For some reason  Leighton Denny polishes have been ruling the nude's during 2014!

 Leighton Denny - Créme de la Créme //  Leighton Denny - Opaque Elegance //  Leighton Denny - Supermodel //  Leighton Denny - Just Perfect

And the winner is Opaque Elegance, I really like this polish as a base for something. Great for stamping over, I particularly liked the cameo nails I used this for (here).
 

Next up we have the two polishes which didn't quite fit in under any other category!

OPI - Alcatraz... Rocks // Primark P.S - Glow in the Dark

The winner is the OPI, while the glow in the dark polish is fun for Halloween it isn't as versitile as the OPI which I really like.

Nail Polish Battle 2014: Duochrome + Holographic

 MUA - Stormy Skies // OPI - Peace, Love and OPI // W7 - Twilight

And the winner is Twilight, this is a stunning duochrome going from navy to purple, it is more of a glass flecked duochrome polish.

 

Moving on to holographic polishes;

A England - Encore Margot // Moyra - Gravity // Moyra - Aquarius

The winner is A England's Encore Margot, simply because I prefer a silver than a coloured holo. All three of these are great holographics though, just less impressive during the winter.

Stamping Plate: Born Pretty Store - BP13

Born Pretty Store recently came out with their own range of stamping plates, I managed to get a couple of these in a special 1p sale. Having not tried any of there plates before I was interested in seeing if they actually stamped, and I was pleasantly surprised.

These plates come with a branded backing which means the edges not sharp.

I used Kleancolor Metallic Sapphire to stamp with and as you can see I didn't have problems with any of the images. There are four full nail images and four standard images.

I like the thatched image the most as well as the weather symbols,

Once I have used this plate you will be able to see all of them by clicking here.
