Help me find the perfect Coral Nail Varnish

I have lost count of the amount of bottles of varnish I have bought looking for the perfect coral, I am sick of buying them only to find when I put them on that they are not the right shade.

I bought another one that came today called OPI Touchan Do It and it is to orangey. I don't want one that is a pale orange and I don't want a red, I want something inbetween.

Has anyone found the perfect coral? I love Shellac Tropix but I don't want Shellac I want a varnish.

Help!!!

I have OPI My Chihuahua bites, I think it's very similar to Shellac Tropix if you like that.

I would say it's a proper mid-toned coral, not pale and not red - more on the orange side....

cardoon · 30/04/2014 21:13

...oh, and a nice fat brush

RichTeaAreCrap · 30/04/2014 21:13

OOh I like the korres one too, that looks nice.

I am leaning towards the YSL one I think.

Could you do me a favour cardoon and pop a pic up of it on your nails!!

I am even more confused now than when I started!

Is the korres one a bit red Saurus?

Looks way orange here, not a very good representation, sorry!

Awe you are lovely to do that, thank you.

Well I like it. Is that not what it looks like then on, is that what you mean that the picture isn't a good representation?

I do really like it - does it have a hint more red in real life iyswim?

Yes, not a great pic. In reality it's more pink/orange ( but not as pink as cute as a button ) - one could say a hint more red I suppose...

cardoon · 30/04/2014 21:54

Looks pretty close to your original photo actually!

RichTeaAreCrap · 30/04/2014 22:01

I'm sold! I will buy one tomorrow. Thank you so much Thanks

I think you'll love it, it goes on great too. Come back and let us know if it's "The one" Grin

Think I'm a bit late and you've made your decision but no I think the Korres one is a true coral. It isn't like the colour in Cardoon's picture. I love finding the perfect colour, just a shame it can be an expensive trial and error process Confused

I third (or fourth) the Revlon One Perfect Coral. I've never re-bought a bottle of nail varnish before but I'm on about my fourth bottle now.

Forlornhope · 30/04/2014 22:44

Revlon

RichTeaAreCrap · 01/05/2014 16:14

I have also ordered the Korres one because that looks lovely too!

And now I want to go to Boots tonight and get the YSL one and the Revlon one.

Its an expensive hobby this!!

Thanks so much, you have all been so much better than me at finding the right colour.

I will let you know which one is the one.

There is a Nails Inc varnish free in June Instyle magazine (choice of three colours), one is a lovely coral called Copacabana Coral.
