    This is a gorgeous nude colour, slightly pinkish, very classy and girly but not over the top. I think it works pretty much on every skin colour. Great for autumn!

    This colour is absolutely gorgeous on my NC30 skin. It requires at least two coats to achieve full opacity, and it dries to a glossy finish. This nail polish is long-wearing, and maintains its...

    Eternal optimist is a gorgeous neutral. On my nails it does not look very nude (as some people call it), but that may be because of my pale skin. It's more in between salmon and baby pink (on the...

    Well, this is a pretty good neutral color except that every time I look at my nails I think that they are the exact same color as Silly Putty - a color reference for those of you who have kids or...

    This is a pretty, neutral shade. I think it looks more pinkish in the bottle than it does on my nails. I find that it tends to blend in with my skin a little, even though my skin is not even...

    This is a great option for nude nails! I tend to use this instead of Ballet Slippers

    I normally go for pastel or peach shades of nail polish, but this looked like a sophisticated color that could go with anything. And I was right! It's a beautiful, natural pink/mauve shade. I have...

    Bought this stuff in America so it was pretty cheap. My go-to every day colour, fantastic to apply and dries quickly. Next time I go stateside I need to get like 6 bottles. Hard to say exactly what...

    On overall a very good product. Pros: Nice natural shade, beige with a touch of pink/mauve. Non-pearly (I am a fan of glossy non-pearly polishes). Non-streaky. Fairly glossy. Fairly good...

    Eternal Optimist is a mid toned dusty pink color with a cream finish. It's a nice enough color on my skin tone that it makes it look like a cross between neutral and pink. While I raved about...

    I absolutely LOVE this nail polish. The consistency was great and the color is the PERFECT dusty rose. It's girly without being over the top Barbie-ish. I will definitely wear this again and again.

    This is a beautiful soft/earthy pink color. I normally like dark colors, but this one was on sale @ TJMaxx for $3. I couldn't resist for that price, seeing as it would normally be $7-$8 everywhere...

    This is a pinky-beige color like a nude mauve. It's a great color. It's my fall toe nail color. I definatly recommend it. You can go two coats but I like 3.

    I picked this up the other day and applied it to my fingernails yesterday. It took 3 coats for even coverage, which is more than I anticipated for the colour (Insta-Dri Mauve It is similar but more...

    I usually wear only very pale polishes; so for me, this one is dark. I am experiencing fall in a big way this year, and this is one of the effects. And such a lovely one! I love it!
