Nails Inc - New York Noir

-- -- -- --

From the top ten polishes I chose my top three;

3) OPI - Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? - This purple is a gorgeous cream finish polish, it looks vibrant in the bottle but translates to the nails quite a bit darker. 

2) Nails Inc - New York Noir - This polish is a one coat black cream finish polish. It is great to wear alone, or as a base. I also found that I could use this to stamp with. Something which I have gotten a lot of use from during 2014.

1) W7 - Twilight - Meaning that Twilight is my favorite nail polish of 2014, I did struggle to choose between this and the black however the black wasn't special enough to win. This is a purple to navy (with a slight lean to pink) glass flecked duochrome polish, which works on it's own or over a dark base. I liked this polish so much I used it to create a 'dragons egg'. It is dark and magical and that is what I really like.

Nail Polish Battle 2014: Glitters!

This is the final battle, before moving on to my top three. I seem to have acquired a fair few glitters this past year.

Angelica - Bobby Dazzler // OPI - Polka.com // Claire's - Dizzy // Jacava - Oxford Street // Leighton Denny - Be Unique // Leighton Denny - Be Individual // Avon - Opal // Barry M - Crystal Glaze

First I whittled these down to three, I like the purple tones to Polka.com and the Avon polish is quite unique. It isn't quite a flakie polish but it is along those lines.

The winner of the three is Claire's Dizzy, because this is quite a unique polish. Multi neon glitters are quite common in the land of indie polish but this is a main stream polish at a bargain price. This is very summer appropriate over white but I think it would work really well over black as well.
