Usually nude colours in any given collection are the least likely to be the most buzzed about. However, I think that the hands-down favourite for me (and many many others judging by how this was sold out everywhere!) of Essie's spring collection was Topless & Barefoot. It is, quite simply put, the perfect pink nude.
Here it is with my rose gold Fossil watch! (I am a total watch fiend, if you haven't noticed yet...) My mother and I both got rose gold Fossil watches - in different styles - to commemorate something big that happened recently.
And a regular shot! (I'm learning diffused flash...)
Just - perfection. To me this is the ultimate blend of beige, pink and white. Brava, Essie!
What's your perfect pink-tinged nude?

Wow, what a coincidence!! I just posted my perfect pink-tinged nude!! Mine is China Glaze Innocence. Technically, it's not a nude, but most people say my nails are naked when I wear it.
ReplyDeleteOhhh,I love the polish, but I'm lovin the watch more! *swoon*
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten all about this polish. Shameful, since I wore it this spring and loved it! I'm trying so hard to get through my untried polishes, that sometimes I forget to re-wear ones like this that I really like. The formula's pretty good for an opaque pale nude, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI found it in the wild at Walgreens and was all "I can pick this and few others up from an e-tailer". SOLD OUT! Bah.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous on you! I'm still trying to find it!
Very demure! I like it a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually been searching for this one and never could find it! It looks so great on you. =) And I absolutely adore that watch. My wedding ring is rose gold (I think I mentioned that before), and I really want a rose gold watch to match it!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really like nudes but it's hard to find perfect ones, and I think I might have to pick this one up!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks lovely on you! I usually stay away from nudes because even the pink tinged ones pull white on me (thank you red hands), but I'll give this a try. It might just have enough pink in it to counter-balance that!
ReplyDeletegorgeous watch and gorgeous polish!
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! I'm hankering to know what the big event that you guys commemorated was though. *iz a nosy kitteh*
ReplyDeleteCan I just say i love your watch! This one if my favourite nude polishes too, although it looks completely different on you- it looks cream on me x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm currently wearing a FreshCover polish called 'Shy.' It's the perfect sheer pink color! And this Essie is gorgeous too :)
ReplyDeleteThis shade is my hands down favourite nude polish (and I have quite a few!)
ReplyDeleteI love the hint of pink, it brightens it up just that little bit making it a touch more feminine.
Karen! I have been dying for this same exact watch recently!! I want it SO BAD and this is just making me want it even more, haha. It looks great, I can't wait to get it.
ReplyDelete- Liz
I saw your post so I decided to pull out my bottle of Topless & Barefoot this weekend to try. I had been wanting to do so for awhile. I love this polish!!! So pretty and chic; I never want to take it off.
ReplyDeleteI wish this looked as nice on me as it does you!
ReplyDelete@Poetic Realist - It must be in the air, eh? I find in summer, people look for a perfect nude, in winter, a perfect red! BTW Innocence looks fab on you!
ReplyDelete@Trixie of Nailifiled - Hehe I love the watch too :)
@Grace - My untried number is blessedly low right now, and its great because I really get to enjoy my stash and polishes I already love! I thought the formula was great - Piff had issues though :(
@Anna - I know!! It was totally the "must-have" from the collection - it was sold out everywhere! Good luck finding it - I can highly recommend ebonyline.com if they have it in stock.
@Serafina - Yes, demure is right! Glad you like it :) (Serafina as in Pekkala?)
@Noelie - You were my inspiration behind going for the watch!! I remember posting about it and you told me about your ring and I decided then and there I needed one. Lo and behold, my mother and I are the same person and she was lusting after a rose gold watch as well!
@Laura - It really seems easy, as there are so many on the market, but like you said finding the perfect ones is what is difficult.
@Varnish Vixen - I think it might have enough colour to it to work for you - let me know! Can't wait to see pics!
@Olivia Frescura - Thank you!
@Indoor Kitty - The big event was that my parents are building a house near where I live right now, and are going to retire here! (I however, am moving after I graduate...) And I love nosey kittehs :)
@LauraSummer - Thank you! I love my watch so much! I am very very very fair so most things look more intense on me than on others.
@Casey - Yay! Let's rock the pretty neutral pinky colours!
@Bailey - I couldn't have said it better myself :)
@deathbypolish - Ahhhh!!!! You *must* get it! I got it at Macy's with a coupon so it was a bit cheaper. Love love love!
@Cat Ray - That's how I felt when I wore it too - like i never wanted to take it off :)
@Alison - Aww friend - I think its because your skin is a little pinkier where mine is yellow? Fear not, you can rock blue-toned reds whereas they look like caca on me...

That is really pretty on you. I have to start writing down things like my perfect pinkie nude. I have a horrible memory. I found my perfect band-aid shade which is Revlon's Malted. I hope this polish we be available again. Hopefully it's not gone for good.
ReplyDeleteuntil recently, i bought mostly OPIs, but somehow i turned to essie. and suddenly found out that essie has the perfect shades for me!
ReplyDeletei didn't try this shade, but for now my perfect nude is lyford lilac..
