I love that its light and springy and still neutral because its fairly matte. Makes me smile whenever I see my nails.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292197 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 15:35:01 +0000 modgrl 292197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally Hanson's cafe au lait has been my go to color for a while<br /> <a href="http://www.sallyhansen.com/product.cfm?product=385" rel="nofollow">http://www.sallyhansen.com/product.cfm?product=385</a><br /> It doesn't scream exciting but it is a very clean, natural and sophisticated look.<br /> Plus it's not so obvious when it chips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292184 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 13:03:41 +0000 chewyspaghetti 292184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly- yes.

I have since I was a little girl, and now recently they have moved to my fingernails. I find that they interfere with a good polish job, so I buff first, which also helps the polish adhere (I skip the ultra-fine grit shining step when I buff before polishing). Probably a lot of work though, but I have been told I have an unnatural ability to contort myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292107 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:39:37 +0000 Kate 292107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay nail polish! My favorite "neutral-ish with an edge" colors in my collection are Country Club Khaki by Orly (but it might be really similar to the Under My Trenchcoat that you already have) (<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/SlTQd9Czc4I/AAAAAAAAHXE/7RCKg-k094k/s1600-h/orly-country-club-khaki-prepster-spring-2009-nail-polish.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5q.....polish.jpg</a>), Bruised by Rescue Beauty Lounge (<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/SPdN4wkCZ4I/AAAAAAAADlc/WLP0apMmq4A/s1600-h/rescue-beauty-lounge-bruised-fall-winter-2008.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5q.....r-2008.jpg</a>), and Can You Tapas This by OPI (<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/SpL51sPnfRI/AAAAAAAAHxg/bFx_ZbcYLhc/s1600-h/opi-can-you-tapas-this-spain-espana-fall-2009.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5q.....l-2009.jpg</a>).</p> <p>I love teals on my toes, and for that I have Custom Kicks by China Glaze (<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/Scu0WqSLG4I/AAAAAAAAGSA/fDc0zYh9WlY/s1600-h/china-glaze-custom-kicks-kicks-summer-2009.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5q.....r-2009.jpg</a>), Dirty Sexy Money by Misa (<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/SfXWUb5oAsI/AAAAAAAAGic/f8P-mLf1ZJg/s1600-h/misa-dirty-sexy-money.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8D5q.....-money.jpg</a>), and Don't Teal my Heart Away by Diamond Cosmetics (<a href="http://www.alllacqueredup.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/priti-tulip-tree-teal-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.alllacqueredup.com/.....teal-1.jpg</a>).

I love the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. I still use a base and top coat, but it really does last. My current faves are Bocha Mocha, Plum's the Word, and Pat on the Black, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292102 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:07:43 +0000 Angie 292102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to wear all shades of blue and green nail polish on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292082 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:28:21 +0000 MNsara 292082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the spring Pantone color idea - the light shades will keep them neutral enough.</p> <p>Plus I remember some advice about dark polish not being kind/flattering to over-40 hands. (A gross generalization I know, but it got me thinking and keeping my own polishes lighter. . . and I think more flattering. . .!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292073 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:18:58 +0000 taylor 292073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had a bright metallic pink sparkly gel overlay done...very fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292064 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:04:07 +0000 rae 292064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a coincidence; I was just ogling these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/archives/3506-Wet-n-Wilds-Fast-Dry-Nail-Colors-for-Spring-2011.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebudgetbabe.com/a.....-2011.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292063 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:02:12 +0000 Aida 292063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, how about picking up a polish in one of the Pantone spring colors that speaks to you? Maybe a mustard/gold, green/teal, or deep purple/plum/fuchsia? I'll also second Anna's recommendation of navy, it's a great dark polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292061 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:57:15 +0000 Elizabeth 292061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love metallics for their glitz and staying power.

Also Essie came out with a khaki nail polish that was very similar to the Chanel one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-colors#post-292049 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:21:35 +0000 Marley 292049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm needing a "pick-me-up" - SYCing and all. So, decided I'd try a new nail polish (that doesn't count against SYC, does it?) Anyone have any good suggestions? I like edgy colors that would also be considered somewhat neutral. Thanks for your help! </p>
