Best nude

4 years ago
I bought this color on a whim, thought I'd try it as a backup as my local Walgreens was out of the gel couture color I wanted to do my toes in. Turns out it's the only color I really love on my fingertips. And boy have I tried a lot of nudes. (Second best: a Treat, Love & Color polish with a hint of gold iridescence—probably Tinted Love.) Not as quick-drying as I'd hoped, and the Essie drying drops don't seem to work as well with the gel couture polish as with the regular line. However, it's fairly good at holding up against all the things I'm always doing with my hands. Easy application, too.

Beautiful and Classy Sheer Color

This speaks class! With two coats and the top coat, this will look sheer, clean, and simple. Nothing over the top, but just enough beige color to make your nails look elegant and well groomed. If you’re part of the “less is more” crowd, then this is for you! I love it!
