Nail Polish Recommendation

Hi Guys

I've been searching high and low for a nice opaque cream/pink/nude toned polish.

Not white / Not Pink, maybe a v pale pink couler that isn't really pink and also matt (very vague I know)

I've bought about 10 in the last few months (OPI / ESSIE ) but best has been an Essence one, but I know they are not great (v gloopy)so want a nice good one.

Any ideas? The ones I have from OPI / Essie are too "see-through" and take a good few coats and still not great. I have some white milk spots on nails and they don't cover them, but the essence one does in one coat!

Thanks for advice

Barry M nail polishes are really good, with a top coat they will easily last a week, and are not too bad on the pocket either. I know there are a few paler pinks/peachys/pale purples and nude tones in the range so worth a look! Colours that come to mind are Peach Melba (which is lighter than it sounds!), French Polish (which is the pinky colour that would be used in a French manicure) and Nude (not sure if this is still available, haven't seen it in ages, but it's a kind of opaque colour that can be built up or left sheer on the nails). They have more pigmented nude(ish) colours too, like Mushroom, but these shades may be too dark for what you are looking for. Google and the "Nail Polish Thread" thread here are your best friend for finding colours that you like!

I just got Essence polishes today. I never used them before and thought they were really great, especially considering how cheap they are. I got two colours from the Nude Glam collection - Cotton Candy and Iced Latte. Here's Cotton Candy:



Butter London has a gorgeous creamy white called Cream Tea. Pic from polishpolice.



Nails Inc Basil St is a nice, opaque nudey colour. Pic from nikkisnailcreations.

Avon do a really nice nude colour called Perfectly Flesh. I find their polishes good quality and nice big bottles for the price. If you know any Avon reps I'd definitely recommend it.

Nails Inc have loads of really nice nude polishes. My favourite is Cromwell Road:



It's better to try and get Nails Inc polish in shops like TK Maxx or online because they tend to be quite expensive in Boots etc.

Catrice and Essence do nice nude polishes too.

China Glaze. Great range of colours, reasonable prices and very good quality polishes!

Thanks a mil for the replies. Off to check out the nail polish thread (never thought of that!)

I have those essence iced latte and cotton candy. Only bought iced latte two days ago and very impressed so far. Opi topcoat and it's lasting well, 2 days so far!

Only problem with these shades is that I find you have to have some sort of tan on your hands
