Nude, Naked & Natural


I love painting my nails. I find it strangely therapeutic - just me?! I featured this shade back in my Autumn Nails Inc Favourites and I'd forgotten how lovely it was! I honestly think there's no classier nail colour than a good nude. And Nails Inc's Basil Street is no exception.

This shade is very similar to my skin tone which I think is the main reason I love it so much. It's the sort of colour people look twice at. Initially thinking you're not wearing any nail polish and then glance back as if to check if you're natural nails are really that flawless.

The Seche Vite* topcoat is definitely my saviour when it comes to glossy nails. It's a really thick gloopy topcoat that literally dries to a hard finish in about 5 seconds. I find it helps my nail polish last even longer than it typically would.

What do you think of nude nails?
What's your favourite nail polish brand?

  1. Before seeing this, I was totally against nude nails. However, they look surprisingly nice! Might have to try this out for myself!

  2. This is so strange! I painted my nails with Boots 17's 'Forever' last night and it looks identical to your Nails Inc polish, and I was saying to my mum today that nude varnish is a nice shade for the autumn too! It's like you read my mind! Lovely post :)

  7. I like nude nails, as they make a darker complextion stand out (like mine) yet look great on a fairer person, too. And also your nails have a really nice shape. Lovely post :)
