Topic Tuesday: Polish Goals for 2021

In 2021 I'd like to make a larger custom polish shelving unit as well as making sure I only purchase vegan and cruelty free polishes. I know I can do it for my own purchases, as far as gifts go I can ask for them to be that way but it's harder to make sure gifts meet certain criteria.

2020 Goals (here)

- Use 12 polishes - used 20 up
- Use nail foils - tried a couple of times
- DIY Cuticle oil - did this, seems to be working well
- Low buy - 42 added to collection so room for improvement!

Nail Polish Battle 2020: Winner!

Finally I am reaching the end of the 2020 battle!

The last round we ended up with the top three polishes, Jinx, Magma and Eclipse;

For me the first polish to eliminate was Jinx, it is a stunning polish, strong holographic silver.

Choosing between the top two polishes was very difficult! In the end coming in at number two was Magma, I like all of the different autumnal colours the flakies show. Only came second because it is a topper rather than a polish you can wear as is.

 

Which means that the winner of 2020 nail polish battle is ILNP Eclipse. I think it was the first of a kind with its multichrome deep red pigment. It is incredibly distracting when wearing it as it changes colours in different lights, and different finger positions. 2020 was a year that called for distraction and that is why Eclipse won.
