That is gorgeous. I really wish nude colours suited me, but they always make me look like I have no nails so I have to avoid them

Thank you have you tried a greige instead of a nude? I'd consider them neutral and therefore kind of nude? Something like essie chinchilly? I've bought a few nudes that make me look like my hands belong on a corpse but that one is barry m lychee and it's a little bit warmer.

I have tried grey colour. I actually have two Essence ones and neither of them suit me so I rarely wear them. I would usually just put them on my toes lol as on my fingers they don't look good at all.

For some reason yellows, greys, nudes, pastel and white don't suit me which is a shame as I see so many lovely polishes in those colours

Realising a colour you adore doesn't actually suit you = anger, denial, acceptance...

Never acceptance...never!!

Thank you base colour is barry m lychee and the spots are opi you don't know Jacques and a black striper for the edges.

Grey with pink flowers. I think an accent nail may have been a better idea, this might be a bit much

I love it as an all over mani Pennywren its not too much at all.

Nah I think with the dusky/neutral colours it works well as a full set!

Essie Sunday Funday

Essie Sole Mate - been looking for a deep plum colour for ages delighted to have this on the way

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7201/6872424781_3669f2fe11_z.jpg

All the polishes arrived the other day so I put on 'Sunday Funday' and its a gorgeous peachy-coral colour, really lovely, kinda neon, but it chips so easily. By Tuesday morning I had loads of chips, so I had to take it off and reapply, then by yesterday morning I had to go over it again cos there was some more chips, and by last night it had chipped even more so I just took it off altogether.

I'm really disappointed by how quickly and easily it chips, its such a gorgeous colour, but really I'd say only suitable for maybe one day's wear, because any more than that and it just doesn't last (on me anyway!).

This morning I applied Sole Mate which is a lovely colour, but its not a deep, dark plum colour, more of a dark brown with red/purple tones to it, it is a nice colour though, but I'm still on the hunt for a really deep, dark, rich plum colour unfortunately.

Just a suggestion but maybe try Wet N Wild Disturbia. It's only €2.99 so worth looking at.

I adore Insta Dri. Won't paint my nails without it. It makes such a good job of my nails, people are always asking where I got my shellac done!

Guys just a reminder not to quote pics, as per the title of the thread. It creates clutter and is annoying for those on slow or mobile connections.
