Coffee Break – Mademoiselle

I’ve always heard amazing things about Essie Mademoiselle, the color featured here. Best-seller! “A grown-up pink!” “The perfect nude!” But on me, it tends to be a bit too pinky.

So a friend taught me this trick a while ago: you layer different pinks to get a nude-for-you look.

I think a lot of New Yorkers do this — layering Mademoiselle and Sugar Daddy is popular; I’m a fan of a Mademoiselle/Starter Wife combo. Essie polishes are $8. Essie Nail Color: Mademoiselle

Readers, what is your favorite pink/nude nailpolish?
