    Deep Brown

    I always appreciate a nice dark brown! I’ve had a few browns that don’t contrast well (if at all) with my deeper skin shade. An easy go too for when I can’t decide and want something that’s outfit neutral.

    Obsessed!!

    I am obsessed with Stumped! Such a gorgeous brown shade, it’s super rich, warm, and really flattering on the nails. The gel formula applies so smoothly and evenly. Such an easy, wearable colour that works year-round. One of those shades you’ll keep reaching for all the time!

    Pairs beautifully

    Love the chestnut/red cocoa undertones. It pairs beautifully with velvet haze and morning glory. Would recommend at least two coats. Works well with both matte and shines top coats.
