Nailed: Neutral on Neutral

I tried something new today. A bit of a different twist on the neutral/nude reverse french manicures that have been cropping up left right and centre for the last few months...
Ciate's lovely Cream Tea, a brown-taupe with a tiny hint of silver shimmer tipped with my current favourite Nubar Gem, a lilac-taupe with fine holographic glitter.

A sophisticated way to wear holo don't you think? And only wearing a touch of it makes removing it so much easier!

    This is gorgeous! Always wanted these 2 nail polishes but the international shipping rate is ridiculous!

    Absolutely love this. As much as I love holographic polishes they don't really suit me so this has definitely inspired me to try a little more subtle take on them :)

    ha ha ha I agree, even thought they are soooo sparkling and pretty, glitter polishes are SO hard to remove, sometimes drive me nuts!
    your nails are so pretty, I also like it this way, would try next time^_^ thanks for sharing!

    I love a decent modern twist on an old favourite. And Nubar's Gem is so beautiful but definitely a pain to remove!

    This looks so cute and a very grown up way of wearing glitter. :-)

    And really get news about getting it off! What a nightmare!!!

    Lady, how the heck do you get the tips so perfect looking? They are curved so it doesn't look like you used tape. Did you manage this free-hand? Very impressive!

    Elegant and sophisticated. Especially loving Cream Tea (name and all). I've been looking for a darker neutral that doesn't look odd with my skin tone. :) x
