Ahh, here we go. Another nude nail varnish! What can I say? I love them. I love the simplicity of a nude nail, it looks clean, polished and sophisticated. I have quite a few in my collection, but they're all different, promise! I have pink toned nudes, putty colours, slightly brown beige, but this particular polish stood out to me because it's a creamy peach toned nude with a gorgeous subtle shimmer. In the photo the shimmer looks quite diffused on the nails, but it is easier to see in person.

Shimmery nude is something a little bit different for me. I'm not massively into shimmer or pearl polishes, much preferring a creamy finish, and maybe one glittery accent nail. This however isn't overpowering chunks of glitter, it just shines and shimmers in the light which is beautiful. It takes two coats for an opaque finish (as advised by the label), but would also look lovely with one coat over another colour as a shimmery top coat (it would also lighten the base colour). It has a broad brush which makes it easy for quick and even application. I find that with this particular polish, it needs a top coat. The little shimmer particles just make it a bit too easy to scrape it off. Each coat dries fairly quickly too so it doesn't take too long to finish your nails which is a big deciding factor for me! If it takes ages to dry, I will smudge it because I'm too impatient. I've not tried any other polishes from this line so cannot comment on the wear and dry time of any other shades. But I would certainly give another shade a go!
I've gone to purchase this so many times. I really like the tiny shimmers it has in it. And the drying time is definitely a massive bonus. My local boots have just put in a whole Sally Hansen stand, may have to have a little perusal this week :) xx
ReplyDeleteYeah same, I went into boots and noticed the stand and got totally drawn in! The drying time is probably my favourite thing about this! xx
DeleteI agree i love a nude nail polish too and this colour looks perfect! x

It's not too far off my natural skin tone which I like, it makes the fact it's shimmery even more subtle! x
DeleteI like nude nail polishes! Looks very chic on the nails.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I love them! :) x
