Today I have a swatch of Revlon's Colorstay in Bare Bones. When my family went away this was another gem they picked up for me. Recently I've been getting more into nude or 'neutral' polishes. They can look really classy and lengthen your nails, you just need to find one that works with your skin tone.
This polish was nice and opaque in 2 coats, it was a little streaky in the first coat, but evened out nicely on the second. This is a true beige colour. There aren't any pink undertones hiding in there which I really enjoy.
I didn't realize how sausage like my fingers look in the above picture until I uploaded it... hmmm. Oh well.
These swatches are without a top coat, so it really is nice and shiny!
The size of these polishes is only 0.4oz, so a little smaller than traditional Revlons. I only wore this for about a day so there was no tip wear or chipping for me. I have heard that the Colourstay polishes do last for a little longer than normal, if you know let me know!
What do you think of nude polishes? Do you have a favourite?
Sincerely Stephanie
It's a lovely nude colour :) really loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Saraww! :)
DeleteWow! it's nice I like it because it is so stylish and cute *-*
ReplyDeleteI agree! It really is stylish! Thanks :)
DeletePretty nude! I think nudes are so classy. Also, your fingers definitely don't look like sausages! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bethany! I'm really on a nude kick lately! They look so pretty and classy as you said :)
DeleteIt's a lovely colour, is it anything like Revlon Smoky Canvas do you know?
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty similar, I think that Smoky Canvas has a deeper taupe colouring to it than Bare Bones. I think this is actually closer to OPI's Skull and Glossbones just not quite as gray as S&G.
DeleteI'm not really into nudes by themselves-but it would make a nice base with some darker stamping on it perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI used it as a base for a bright splatter mani here http://sincerelystephaniee.blogspot.ca/2012/03/cocktail-brights-splatter.html
DeleteI only lasted about 12 hours with just the nude lol
It would be cool with some dark stamping I think! You could probably come up with something epic for it. I love your stamping :)
I really like this nude color. It looks very sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lacquerloon!
DeleteHi Stephanie. Sorry I'm commenting anonymously, I just don't feel like creating an account to make a quick comment. Anyway I just got this polish today and while I think it looks great on your nails, it looks disgusting on mine. It just totally clashes with my skintone. Too bad because I thought it was such a pretty color in the bottle.

DeleteThis is an amazing looking polish, and it now adorns my wish list ;)
