Naturally Nude...

This was right before I removed the polish. It had been on for about 4 days!

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!! Today I wanted to talk briefly about my most favorite Nude nailposh. Nude seems to be sort of and "all the time" trend. Or at least it is for me. I love wear nude, whether its on my nails, my eyes, my lips or my feet!! I think nude beauty and fashion trends ( excluding some, lol, don't take the whole "nude" thing too far!) are fabulous, elegant and very classic. Nude, black, grey and navy are colors that are a must have in my closet and beauty drawer. What are your must have classic colors?

Anyways...


I have been seriously loving these two nail items! The main focus of this post is the Nude color, O.P.I. Samoan Sands. I am so in love with this! But, I also wanted to mention briefly the Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" clear polish in Crystal Clear.


This polish has been my go-to nude color for quite a while now. I find it weird that I haven't really heard or seen too much hype on this color on blogs or youtube. But, that is all made up for on Pinterest, where I first found this little beauty. Every beautiful nail design used this color as the nude polish. I kept browsing Pinterest until I couldn't stand it anymore, I just had to have it. Simple-as-that. It was love at first application. For my skin tone this is the perfect nude to blend in with my skin tone. I really think that it will also look great on darker skin tones as well. I think that it will be more of a statement, which I wish it was on my nails, because it is just fabulous. The color has more pinkish undertones rather than a more sandy one. This is a perfect classic, no fuss polish. Especially if you work somewhere, where you are not supposed to wear polish! It will perfect your nails without being obvious. I just love it!


I just wanted to mention really quick how much I have been loving this polish also. I ran to wal-mart the other night because I wanted to do my nails, but I didn't have a top coat. Needless to say I couldn't find one there and this about the cheapest clear I could find. I wasn't expecting too much from it, but boy was I surprised. This is not a top coat. But I think that right now it works great as one. I don't own anything else from the "Hard as Nails" Line but I really want to now!! It did help harden my nails and it also helped my polish to last and stay shiny! I received very little chipping from this. It was much better than Seche Vite for me. So if you are in the market for a cheap top coat I would definitely recommend checking this one out first! I will be sure to let you know more about it the longer I use it!

What is your favorite nude polis? & do you own anything form the Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" line? If so, what is your favorite color?

Thank you so much for stopping by!! If you have any question please feel free to ask!
