The Nude Nail

So lately I've been a fan of the "au naturel" nail as seen in the catwalks and I was on the hunt for the perfect nude. After trying a lot of shades - from pinky ones to grey and back again - I stumbled upon this gem from Sixteen Cosmetics. It's really pigmented and you only need one-ish swipe to have a full coverage, while it dries really quickly (as the name suggests). Also it's the perfect shade for my skintone.

As for base and topcoat, I used my trusty and well-loved Avon Nail Experts base and a fairly new Essense Gel-Look topcoat (see the review here).
