Nail Polish Battle 2018: Green

Another day another polish battle, and this time it is the turn of my green polishes.

Barry M - Spearmint // Barry M - Matcha // A England - Puck a Fairy // A England - Catherine Howard // Born Pretty Store - Taj Mahal

Whittling down to my top three wasn't too hard for this round;


A England - Puck a Fairy is a stunning, vivid aqua colour. Really quite a statement polish and one which I would wear as is which is quite something!


A England - Catherine Howard is also a holographic green polish, this one is more muted than Puck a Fairy. But still a nice holographic green.


And the winner of this round is, Born Pretty Store - Taj Mahal. This is a super shifty duochrome polish, very strong colour change from purple to green. Can't stop looking at my nails when I wear this one.

Nail Polish Battle 2018: Pink

Today I am looking back on the pink polishes I have gained during 2018. For some unknown reason I have an extra nine this year!

OPI - The Color That Keeps On Giving // OPI - It's A Girl // OPI - Princesses Rule // OPI - You're Such a Budapest // OPI - Strawberry Margarita // BPS - All About Rose // Barry M - Nutmeg // OPI - A Rose At Dawn Broke By Noon // A England - Peaseblossom Fairy

My top three are;


BPS - All About Rose // Barry M - Nutmeg // A England - Peaseblossom Fairy

BPS - All About Rose, is a lavender toned pink polish. Nice background polish for nail art.


Barry M - Nutmeg is more of a nude tone pink polish. The formula on this polish is great, and the brush is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle.


And the winner of the pink polishes is A England - Peaseblossom Fairy, I really like this polish, especially for a pink! It is really quite vivid and holographic in finish.

Stamping Plate: MoYou - Christmas Style 452*

Stamping-Plate-MoYou-Christmas-Style-452

MoYou 452 is one of the square shaped plates measuring at 5.5cm by 5.5cm. It comes packaged in a cardboard slip sleeve and with a protective blue coating which you peel off to reveal the images.

This plate is a collage type plate with many smaller images on it, the theme is the festive season although I have managed to use it in an autumn themed set of nails so it is more versatile.

Trying to show how well the images stamp across and they stamped across well.

Here are some nails I have done using this plate;

Nail Polish Battle 2018: White and Nude

Today I am looking back over the white and nude polishes from 2018.

W7 - White 34 // Barry M - Coconut // Barry M - Cream Soda // Barry M - Butterscotch Sundae // OPI - Taupe-less Beach

Next I selected my top three;

W7 - White 34 // Barry M - Cream Soda // OPI - Taupe-less Beach

W7 - White 34, white polishes aren't something I would wear as is, however they are great for nail art or as a base. This one is opaque in two coats and has a whopping 15ml inside.


OPI - Taupe-less Beach, this is a traditional beige shade. Really not much to say about it, I chose it for the top three because it was the darkest polish there!


The winner of this round is Barry M - Cream Soda, I chose this because it is a clean white shade, opaque in two coats and the brush type is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle which makes application very easy and not streaky.
