Could anyone recommend a classic pinky nude nail polish ? Ideally opaque nude ,don't mind having to apply two or three coats to get the perfect shade

My favourite nudes are Leighton Denny-Supermodel, Chanel-Delight, Dior-Griege, OPI-You don't know Jacques . Or if you mean a pale pink perhaps Essie-Sugar Daddy. Also, can't not mention Dior Nail Glow, nothing makes your nails look better more quickly than this.

I love Nails Inc Porchester Square, it's minky and neutral and flatters any skin tone x

The only nude that doesn't look too dark on me is Boots Seventeen "forever" - its a pinky nude rather than brown.

Essie Sugar Daddy for me, it's a translucent pale pink. I have tried so many taupe and beige toned ones, I find the darker taupes easier to get right than the ones that are close to my skin tone. Essie have a good range but I find the lighting in their displays makes them look quite different to how they look in use.

I love maybelline rose poudre too. It lasts a good few days too which is very good for me. Essie do lovely colours but if I'm lucky they will last 24 hours at the most!

No idea what happened there! Was trying to add a vote for Maybelline (the gel one), not an air of mystery...

Essie eternal optimist a neutral rather than nude but looks polished and sophisticated

Sally Hansen cafe au lait - gorgeous colour but takes 3 coats to get opaque

I like Leighton Denny's Starkers, which is a bit sheer, but two coats will give a less sheer finish - on me it's a perfect 'no colour' colour that looks groomed. I also like L'Oreal's Countess Beige (or Beige Countess, not sure) which is similar to Leighton Denny's Supermodel.

There's such a difference in what everyone considers nude!
Sally Hansen cafe au lait looks like I have mannequin hands so I find that pinks suit me better.
Dior Nail Glow....expensive but I like it...however, try the Asda George version if you like tranluscent :)

Mavala Sweet is perfect for me or Models Own nude beige always gets comments (good ones).

I suppose it depends on the colour / tone of your skin and and nails. A lot of those mentioned here are definitely not nude on me as I have very light skin. I find it hard to get a good beige, I had one from Next once which was exactly the right colour for my skin but it was a rubbish consistency, all smeary. I always end up going back to Sugar Daddy.
