Price: $10 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.5 fl oz Zoya Sue is a soft champagne nude with a satin matte finish. Sue is almost opaque with one coat, but I used two in the swatches. With the matte finish of the polish, it becomes dry to the touch pretty quickly, but it does not become fully dry for a little while. Sue is a nice easy color that would work any time of the year as an everyday kind of shade XOX ♥
OPI Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around is a light pink toned nude with a cream finish. Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around has the same great formula that I typically find with OPI. It applies very smooth and only needed two coats for an opaque look. I really like neutral nail colors like this one and find that it looks nice in every season with all kinds of outfits and jewelry. XOX ♥
The Zoya Nail Lacquer in Emilia is a dark brown with no shimmer or glitter. Like most Zoya polishes, Emilia has a great formula that applies evenly and is not too thick or too thin. On my nails is two coats of Emilia. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.6 fl oz (full size) The Orly Nail Lacquer in Sweet Dreams is a taupe purple with warm purple reflects. Sweet Dreams is a part of Orly's Sugar High collection. It's a quite pretty color that looks fairly neutral, but the purple reflects add that pop of color. On my nails is two coats of Sweet Dreams. XOX ♥
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.31 fl oz / 9.17 mL The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color in Making Mauves is a light mauve taupe with subtle iridescent shimmer. Making Mauves has a nice thin formula and I only needed two coats to make the color opaque. XOX ♥
Price: $9 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.5 fl oz The Zoya Nail Lacquer in Chantal is a warm nude with a creme finish. Chantal is from Zoya's Naturel collection. It is quite similar in color to my NW20 skin tone, making it a great "mannequin hands" polish for me. Chantal has a great, easy to apply formula and was fully opaque in two coats. XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Rite Aid * Size: 0.35 fl oz / 10 ml The Julie G Nail Color in Birthday Suit is a pastel peachy pink polish with no glitter or shimmer. I've always wanted to try out the Julie G brand, but there are no Rite Aid stores near me, so when I went on a trip to Colorado (where there are Rite Aids) I had to pick up a Julie G polish! The application of Birthday Suit was pretty nice, but the polish did take a while to dry. I adore the color, though, it's pastel but still bright and looks so nice and feminine on the nails. I used three coats in the swatches. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz Zoya Kennedy is a pink nude with a little bit of a grey tint and a creme finish from the Feel collection, all the way back from winter 2011. This gorgeous color is still available on Zoya's website, and I just purchased it about a month ago. This color applies sheer and streaky with thin coats, something that I haven't expirienced from other Zoya polishes. With two coats or a thicker first coat, however, Kennedy evens out really nicely and is almost opaque. I used three coats in the photos to completely even out the streaks in the polish. XOX ♥
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.39 fl oz / 11.7 mL The L'Oreal Nail Color in Never Lacque-ing is a beautiful neutral lilac greige. This polish looks quite milky and sheer on the first coat, but is fully opaque with three coats. This polish has a medium thickness, but dries quite quickly. Never Lacque-ing has a nice shine to it and was easy to apply. Great job L'Oreal! XOX ♥
I am aware that Sephora's new nail polish line has come out and this line is sadly gone, but, you can still get this shade online for $4.50 and it is too pretty to not share with you! Sephora by OPI I Only Shop Vintage is a really pretty shimmery gold bronze polish. Even though this is a shimmery polish, it's almost opaque in one coat (I did 2 in the swatches). The formula was great, it wasn't streaky, it wasn't patchy and it dried really quickly. XOX ♥
