This is amazing! It’s the most comprehensive nude coverage I’ve seen…thank you – I’m a nude girl through and through and you’ve sold me on at least three! Brilliant xxxx
I love the ciate, mavala and finger paints ones, so pretty xx
Fabulous post – really helpful. Also happily confirms that the Nubar Sandstone I have is probably my favourite of these shades
Nudie pics!
Recovered from the acetone fumes yet?
Ah this is so helpful, thank you so much for doing this. Only problem now, which to choose!? xxxx
WOW. Do you actually own all of these shades? Some of them are so similar too!
I have the Models Own Nude Beige and haven’t tried it out yet but it looks fab on you, I’m excited to try it now!
Someone has a big collection of nudes! I think I probably have more than I think I do. I know you like the mushroom shades also. I think this is a good idea to do also. No commentart is necessary. You have good photos and their labeled nicely. Fantastic jo. Thank you for all of your swatching. Must have taken quite a while to do this.
you do realise this post is my idea of hell :p
Helen, great nudes! I wish my nails were as beautiful as yours!! I find the mushroom/beiges don’t look so good on an olive skin tone. Another great nude by Essie is Au Naturel as well as Samoan Sand by OPI. Thanks for taking all that time do give us the shots!
Awwwww hunny, can’t believe you took so much time out to do this post for me, god.. it must have took you ages!!!! Thank you so so much! seems like quite a few people like it though, Ive saved it in my favourites, so I can refer back hehe. Theres so many I want now, I’d be here all day listing them!!!
Really love the Recue Beauty Lounge one though.. think thats my faves. No idea whetre to get them from though, you need to help me out sweetie.
xxxxx
wow I only have 5 of those I need more nail polish lol – Do you like sand in my suit I can’t get it to work on me it never applies right
You barking mad, woman! How many have you got? I think most of those nude colours wouldn’t look great against my skin tone. The only ones I am drawn to are for example, Jermyn Street and possibly the Models Own one in the first set. Kudos to you for swatching all those colours.
Oooh, what is wrong with me lately? I like so many of these. You definitely did not waste an afternoon, lady. This is a fantastic compilations of nudes (which, my brain is addled, I just wanted to spell it newds! Like – newt. OK, moving on…) and VERY handy!
Hey! Great post!!
are OPI Bubble Bath and Models Own Buff Pink v similar then?
which was YOUR favorite??????
