Topic Tuesday: Nail Polish Resolutions 2020



- Use up bought cuticle oil, move to DIY version
While I really enjoy the one I have been using from Rainbow Connection, I have made my own and really need to try using it consistently to see if it is any good.

- Use more foils
I have some foil glue and a fair few foils but I tend to not reach for them, so 2020 may be the year to use them up!

- Low buy
As with previous years I don't plan on buying many polishes, the majority of the ones I got last year were gifted.

- Finish 12 polishes
One for every month should be achievable, last year I finished 23, so almost two a month.

Nail Polish Battle 2019: Winner!

So the time has finally arrived for me to choose my favourite nail polish from the ones I got during 2019.

We left off with my top three;

Essie - Angora Cardi | Rimmel - Blue Sea Star | A England - Goth

First I cut Angora Cardi from the three, because pink is my least favourite of the three colours.


Finally I cut Blue Sea Star from the two because while it is unique to my collection, it is a cream finish and I prefer holographic. Which of course leaves Goth as my winner for 2019;


A England have won my nail polish battle now for three years running. Goth is a beautiful deep aubergine, holographic polish. The formula is opaque in one coat and the brush is flat, wide and rounded at the cuticle which is my favourite type. The shade is deep but it still is noticeably not black.
