Nail Polish Battle 2015: Black, Silver + Duochrome

So it is that time of year again where I go through all of the new nail polishes I have acquired over the past year and I choose which polish is the best. I have been doing these annual blog posts since 2012. During the past two months I have accumulated 41 polishes.

Today we are starting with black, silver an duochrome polishes.

OPI - My Silk Tie // Barry M - Super Sonic // Sally Hansen - Black Platinum

I didn't get too many of these polishes this past year. Originally I would have thought the Sally Hansen would have been my favourite, however the formula is really thin and you need 3 or 4 coats.


The Barry M polish has a new flat and wide brush which is great however I found this chipped really easily on me.


So that brings us to the winner, My Silk Tie. More through default, but I do like this polish.

Review-Bundle-Monster-415-BM415

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

With BM415 you get four full nail images and two smaller ones. The plate is geeky and has a steampunk image to which is nice. I found the word search image and the binary numbers hard to stamp across fully.

You can see all of the designs I have used this plate in here, and some of those are below:
