in the nude

when i can find a nude nail lacquer that is as dreamy to apply as it looks, i know i've found a winner. im finding that most of my essie nude polishes far outweigh my zoyas in terms of application. cho & avery from zoya go on streaky and the wait time for each coat to dry is a bit longer, while my essie nudes apply like a dream.

nude nails

last year i developed an affinity for neutral colored nail polish. while ive always preferred dark colors, flesh toned & nude lacquers have been my go to colors as of late. while i was never a fan as i found most neutral colors to be on the sheerer side, lately more collections have been coming out with neutral shades that are opaque after 2-3 coats! delicate pinks, creamy beiges, pale peaches, caramel, & cappuccino colors if found in the right shade can look great on just about anyone. i love the look of nicely filed short to medium length nails polished with a glossy neutral color. clean, simple, & chic!
