Lovely colour, easy to apply
The colour was a bit lighter than I exoected. I was looking for a deeper taupe colour. It's still a lovely neutral colour though, so will get used. Was easy to apply. My very first time doing my own gel nails.

Amazing darker nude
Goes on well and blends with the darker part of the nail. I did my MIL’s nails and she loved it. I loved using it under Velvet Dune.

It’s lovely
Not totally accurate to the pictures and is a bit more purple toned in most lighting. But still a nice staple nude to have in the collection
