The next group of colours in my nail polish series are colours that I think every girl should have in their collection and those are the nudes.
There are various instances in which dark, bold colours are not allowed (ex: work, school, meetings) but if you're like me and you're obsessed with the idea of always having your nails painted then check out my favourite nudes...
This nail polish is great if you're looking for a colour that is very subtle. If you're someone that's playing around with nail polishes and want to ease into it, this is a good start for you. It goes on extremly sheer (which was a little annoying at first) but is definitely build-able in order to reach the opacity you see through the bottle. Lasting power of this nail polish is great and despite having to pile on the layers, it dries very quickly between coats.
Right off the bat this colour is a great dupe for ballet slippers by essie (which I love). But what's better about this brand is it's literally 1/8 of the price. I had purchased this at Target for no more than $2.00 and it was one of those "start the car" moments. It's the perfect pale/baby pink colour that makes hands just look so polished. The lasting power of this about 5-7 days before there are any serious chipping and I had to put on three layers in order to get the colour where I wanted it to be. But did I mention that this was less than $2.00? #cheapAF =)
3. Pied-a-terre by CoCo C& LuLu
This is colour is just...amazing. It's the perfect grey colour without being too dark or too light. I personally love grey but when it's translated into nail polishes there seems to be a tendency for them to make my hands look dead or super cold. The lasting power of any CoCo & LuLu polish is awesome, with it's lifespan reaching 5 days without a top coat. To get the opacity seen in the bottle, it took me about three coats and drying time wasn't too long.
I LOVE THIS NUDE. Need I say more? No seriously, this is my favourite nude colour. This will literally make it seem like you're wearing nothing on your nails. For those who are a different skin tone compared to me, it will alter the colour of this nude. But for me, it blends into my skin so well that it elongates my hands and again, it makes my hands look so polished. I would say that this is a great drug store dupe for Sand Tropez by Essie and just like my previous dupe find, it's considerably cheaper. Lasting power of this polish is amazing considering I never wear top coat and opacity of this is great, only needing two coats.
I truly believe that nude shades are something that all girls should have in their collection. There's just those days that you want to go really simple with your nails and neutrals are the ways to go.
But for those days where you want all the attention to be on your nails, my third and final installment within this series will look at those fun and flirty colours that are perfect for nights out or a day on the beach. So stay tuned to see what colour I recommend!
