Neutral with a Twist

I always love the idea a nude polish, but once it's on me, I don't like it anymore.  I guess I just haven't found the right one for me yet. 

This is Revlon Grey Suede (really strange name, does not fit the polish at all!)  It is a pretty neutral, but not the best shade for me.  But with some black stamping?  Then I'm all over it!  I used plate M73 and W&W black Cream.



I put a coat of Seche Vite over top, but it pulled some of the black polish and made some streaks (pointer finger).  Boooo!  Anyone know of a top coat that doesn't do that?

  1. So pretty! I have a love/hate relationship with nude polish. Finding the right nude is as hard as finding the right foundation or red lipstick. Good thing I'm up for the challenge. ;) As for a topcoat that doesn't drag ... I almost always use my Seche Vite. Maybe waiting a little longer before adding topcoat would help?

  2. This is gorgeous. The black stamping actually looks like lace!

  3. I am loving this big time! I swear by Seche but you just have to be very careful and not do too many strokes to avoid smearage you could also wait a few extra minutes before you do the Seche. But I am loving this and would never have noticed the smear until you pointed it out! Next time don't point it out!

  7. I think nude polishes look good on you... Have you tried Mocha by Kleancolor? I think it is pretty. Believe me, that shade looks great on you. As far as top coats messing up the stamping, SV is less likely to do so if you apply a thick coat and don't go over it more than once. Acrylic Strong by Nailene does not streak but it takes a long time to dry... <3

  10. This is so lovely! I love the effect of the black stamp on the nude. And I feel the same way about loving nudes but once they are one I don't love it. Maybe I just still need to find the right nude.

  13. This is gorgeous!!! I love this color on you. And the stamping is really pretty. Oh yeah, the name Grey Suede really bothers me. Really, they couldn't come up with something else? LOL
