Beautiful low key colour
At first I thought this was a bit sheer, but with three coats and a few days of wear I've come to really like it. I feel like it's also a more forgiving colour for those of us on our learning journey.

Stunning!
This cool-toned sheer pink polish makes it easy to create a professional looking manicure. The formula is sheer enough that mistakes aren’t obvious, but opaque enough that the colour is easily buildable. The manicure lasted easily over a week and looked great!

Perfect neutral pink for me
One of my favourite colours! Paired with milky pink builder gel, it’s the perfect base pink/nude for my skin tone. Pictured is just one coat on top of milky pink builder, but also love it with 2-3 coats for a stronger colour.

Found my perfect natural nail shade
I wasn't expecting this to work so perfectly as a nude for me, but I did one layer of it over my custom builder gel mix (1/3 each of Clear, Nude and Pink) and it literally looks like my natural nail but better. Most people's natural nails are actually quite dark so typical nudes and pale pinks can look quite fake. This blends pretty seamlessly and gives a 'my natural nails but better' look. Was stoked when I realised! This is influenced by the builder I had on underneath too of course.
