Nail Polish Battle 2019: Glitter and Metallic


Seeing as there were only four in this particular category it was easy to get rid of one, that was throwing shapes which was a silver but with a golden shimmer throughout it.


Always On Top is a topper, glass flecked finish. It is a nice polish but for me it was a bit too light. Sound of Sequins is a standard metallic silver polish, it isn't unique to my collection which is why I Pull The Strings won. It is a rose gold chunky and micro glitter in a clear base. Surprised myself at liking something rose gold.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Blue


Cutting one from the four wasn't too difficult, Lady of Shallot and Blackjack were quite similar but the A England has a slight purple shift as well as navy.

Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | OPI - Less is Norse | A England - Lady of Shalott

Less is Norse is a dusty cornflower blue which is nice, but the winner for me is Blue Sea Star. It is unique to my collection, its a mid toned blue, vibrant and yet somehow not in your face.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Purple

Purple polishes seem to be a weakness of mine, have 12 polishes in this category;

OPI - Do You Lilac It? | A England - The Scent of Azaleas | A England - Angel Grace | A England - Mrs De Winter | OPI - Krona-logical Order | Superchic Lacquer - Zombie Crush | OPI - Ginger's Revenge | Primark - Wine | OPI - In The Cable Car Pool Lane | Dystopia Nail Polish - Midnight's Mirror | Nails Inc - Drty Girl | OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark

Of the 12 purple polishes it was a little bit hard to select my top three. I went for Wine which is a gel effect polish from Primark. It has a nice flat and wide brush and the colour is really perfect for autumn. The only issue I had with this one was it did stain my cuticles a bit. Second of the top three is Dystopia Midnight's Mirror, which was the last polish I got this year. This polish is a stunning duochrome that shifts from blue to purple.


Which means that Zombie Crush is the winner of this round, it was so hard to choose between this one and Midnight's Mirror. Zombie Crush is a dark purple polish with so much holographic pieces in there, the rainbow is very obvious with this one even when not in direct sunlight.
