Your most versatile nail polish?

If you could only wear one of your nail polishes all the time, to go with everything you wear, which one would it be?
My choice would be Chanel Ballerina.

A-England, beautiful formulas and 3 free

GooodMythicalMorning · 10/07/2016 18:42

Mine is boring. Just a good quality clear I think!

Barry m , I can't remember the exact colour and it isn't to hand but its a dark metalic green colour and I love it. It goes with most of my stuff and lasts ages x

Chanel Ballerina is nice. I also find their Frenzy - a pale, delicate grey - very versatile.

Have recently discovered Nails Inc Porchester Square as got it as part of a gift set and I love it! I usually go for a more dramatic dark colour or bright 'crazy' colour but this colour is great and makes me feel a bit more dressed up in my normal clothes and looks lovely on a night out.

Leighton Denny Message in a Bottle - a pale grey with pinky hints through it. I think it was limited edition and my last two bottles have been via Amazon.

Essie chinchilly

Chanel rouge noir

KanyesVest · 10/07/2016 20:16

A random one I picked up for half nothing in a chemist, Essence in a really deep purple. Goes with everything.

Opi tickle my France-y

Interesting thread. I have nail polish in every colour, but if I could only have one.
Possibly light pink.

Chanel April.

Very difficult to choose, though, I'm a nail polish addict Blush

OttoTheOnly · 10/07/2016 21:43

Chanel paradoxal, or Models Own purple grey as a cheap dupe version. Goes with everything.

polyhymnia · 10/07/2016 21:46

I love Essie Chinchilly too.

BatmanLovesMarmite · 10/07/2016 21:49

Chanel Matador, which is long discontinued and am on the dregs of my last bottle Sad - a metallic red

HairsprayQueen · 10/07/2016 21:50

Boring snoring Essie Ballet Slippers. Just evens everything out and freshens it up.

LaurieFairyCake · 10/07/2016 21:53

I wear Chanel Ballerina on my fingers

And Paradoxal on my toes

LuckySantangelo1 · 10/07/2016 21:56

Chanel particuliere.

LuckySantangelo1 · 10/07/2016 21:58

And Essie mademoiselle.

TSSDNCOP · 10/07/2016 22:01

Shellac Rubble

IsItGinTimeYet · 10/07/2016 22:03

Shellac Romantique, cityscape and gotcha are the three I seem to rotate between. I drive the nail lady nuts, she seems to think everyone wants sparkle Hmm.

reader77 · 10/07/2016 22:04

Essie Sand Tropez.
