OPI - Samoan Sand - Nude Mannequin Hands




On my quest for the perfect nude nail polish i came across OPI - Samoan Sand polish.
It definitely is a great nude colour, but to achieve this look i had to apply 4 coats!! I don't think i have ever had to apply that much polish, i couldn't even apply a top coat because it would never have dried, so i am a bit disappointed. I had high hopes and thought it would give me this effect in just two or three coats. Even with 4 coats you can still slightly see my nail tips underneath.
I love the mannequin hand look at the moment, i have been enjoying reading All Lacquered Up's post on 'Mannequin Hands', they have been showcasing some fab nudes!




I really want to try L'Oreal Sand castle, it looks like a great nude.

What are your thoughts on nude nails?

    Rimmel Lycra Pro in Beige Style is an opaque nude, drys mega fast and has a nice thick brush :).

    It looks really nice, have you seen the colour that's meant to be big for spring/summer? Chanel Particuliere http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/17/chanel-particuliere-nail-vernis-coming-in-january/

    Color is great, but I so know this problem. They look good in the bottle and in real life you need endless coats or even never achieve a proper result. I always thought OPI is much better, but it seems that you really have to test one by one. Doesn't matter if it is a drugstore brand or high end.

    But they have such a nice color range^^

    i love nude nails, i'd suggest revlon's creme brulee, it's got a pinky shimmer in it, really really clean and sexy
