You know how I feel about nudes. I can't not own them. It isn't like I really need them...my current job pretty much allows for any color on earth. But these were the hardest to find...I don't even know if any Walmart in my area even carried them. Thankfully a dear friend found them for me...and we arranged a trade!
This shade is the perfect "almond" nude shade with a gentle silvery pearl to it. I used three coats because it was a tiny bit on the streaky side. If you were ever wondering about using a matte base to make streaky shades behave, this would be the one to try it on. But it will settle down a bit once you add a good topper, and it wears pretty well too. I love when I find a good mannequin-hand shade.
I know this is old, but I can't help sharing it. These bottles are so chock full of nostalgia...hell, I remember a few years ago buying Hard Candy at Sephora. It is weird how things move in this world of beauty. O have the whole set, I believe, so you should be seeing more of these as I plow through my untried box.
How do you feel about mannequin hands? I am obviously a huge fan of them...though I think I enjoy the hunt near as much as I do actually finding that perfect match. Do you have any suggestions for shades I should look into? I am always on the prowl for more!
What a lovely nude! Personally, my favourite thing about a nude polish is the nail art you can do over it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone in the 'must own all the nudes' life task lol.
ReplyDeleteI love a good nude. I don't think these were ever out in my area either. This looks really nice on you.
ReplyDeleteI love this colour on you! I love nudes but have such a difficult time finding those that look good on me. I'm afraid I'm useless with suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThere's just something so classy about a good nude creme!
ReplyDeleteI loved when this collection was re-released. I used to wear the crap out of these when I was younger!
ReplyDeleteI have all of these and sadly, haven't been able to use them yet. So many polishes so little time. Great shade on you!
ReplyDeleteI love mannequin hand polishes. There is just something so aesthetically pleasing about them.
ReplyDeleteI love nudes! I had the hardest time finding the perfect shade for my skintone at the beginning and now I have some that really surprised me.
ReplyDeleteLooking at this shade I'm thinking OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh might be a great match for you as well!
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful on you! It would look awful on me, lol, but I love it on you!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the right shade for me, but it looks perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to say I've never tried Hard Candy....
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a nude fan but this is pretty.
