There’s something so fresh and perfect about nude colors, especially on the nails.
I’m always on the search for the perfect anything, whether it be the perfect jean or t-shirt or red lipstick. I’ve been on the search for a perfect nude nail polish for a little while now.
I concocted my own for a time. I mixed two different nail polishes and the results were pretty good but I had to do three thick coats of polish with this particular method and I was slightly annoyed about having to mix the two colors.
When I came across the Deborah Lippmann nail polish in Naked a little while ago, I knew it would be perfect. But I didn’t buy it. Being the cosmetics whore that I am and also an aspiring minimalist (trust me, I have a looooong way to go), I told myself that I didn’t need another nail polish. And yes, it’s true, I don’t. I’ve got lots. But I don’t have this color.
So in a moment of weakness the other day, I acquiesced and picked this puppy up. And I do not regret it.
Not one bit.
I also picked up the Deborah Lippmann Fast Girls basecoat and I think I do regret that a little bit but I will test it out some more before I come to a conclusion on that one.
With two coats, this polish can look sheer and pretty and with a third coat, it gives a more opaque, polished look. I’ve been doing three coats. I love the beige-ey nude of this shade. Being the coloring that I am, pink-nude shades just don’t seem to look as good. I remember the OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy days, and hating them. First of all, it was always a streaky mess and second of all, it looked crap against my skin tone.
This color, however, this Naked thing of beauty is just perfect.
