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

I don’t know why this never occurred to me to do. My go-to “safe” pink (because I have a weakness for ridiculous hot pinks) is Essie’s “Eternal Optimist,” which is almost perfect (especially in its opacity; I just can’t with sheer polish), except it’s slightly too cool for my skin tone. Now I just need to figure out the right pink to it up with.
