Nude nails?

11 replies

DuckBatRabbit · 15/10/2020 20:20

I've got in to painting my nails recently and although I love a bold colour now and again for a day or two, I'm a big fan of nude colours for most of the time. I like a solid colour rather than pearly ones, if that makes sense.

The two I have that I like are Expressie ones, 'get a mauve on' and maybe 'pink nude' but I will check the bottle when I get up. I don't use gels.

I'd love any other suggestions for colours? Maybe a skin tone nude or is that a bit old lady? I'm in my 30's and caucasian.

Thanks!

Supermodel, Leighton Denny.
It's been around for years now but is a lovely winter nude. I used to use it before i defected to gels :)

My wedding colour: sand tropez from Essie. I get so many compliments. It's a proper sand beige, no pink. A simple but really rare colour and I love it! Must have purchased 3/4 bottles over the years.

Thanks, they both look nice.

Laiste, do you do your own gels? My friend did it for me a while ago and I didn't like how thick it was. Loved that it lasted for so long though!

Satin Pyjamas by CND? You can have it in shellac (gel ) or vinylux (polish)

I always get comments on what a nice colour it is. I'm a convert to home gel, I've watched some tutorials on YouTube and had plenty of practice during the last 6 monthsSmile

Love that one too, @Orcadianrythyms. What kit do you have to do gels at home?

Nails Inc Gel Effect Polish, Porchester Square
This is the best nude ever in my humble opinion

Essie 'Between the seats' Nude/Grey solid colour.

It's so hard, all these suggestions look lovely! I hadn't even thought of grey tones.

Thinking I might have to hit Boots in my lunch break tomorrow.

My current favourites are Essie Go Go Geisha & Essie Angora Cardigan.

Essie eternal optimist. Goes with everything!

Nails Inc do a love range of nudes. Do a quick google. They tend to last a good 10 days on me, with a decent top coat.
