I love a nice manicure and fresh nail polish every week, and have been into nude/light colors lately because when the polish eventually chips, I can afford to wait a day or two since it’s not as noticeable.
I work in a professional office: I type on a computer, take hand written notes with pens, and handle paperwork all day. It’s important to me that I not show up with purple nail polish chipped up like mad dog while I’m there. I save that for my weekends off:)
I decided to try Avon’s True Color Nail Polish in Barefoot Beige (this is not a “gel” polish...it’s just regular nail enamel). I must say that I like it a LOT so far! I usually use OPI, China Glaze, and Sally Hansen, and although I have every color known to man, I, like a lot of women, am on a personal quest to find THE ONE nail color that puts all the others to rest.
In this photo, I’m on day 3 of my manicure. I used Avon Basecoat (LOVE!) and Avon Quick Dry Topcoat (like a lot) in addition to the nail color, and while I’m impressed by the longevity (so far) of the polish, I’m also really happy with the actual color. Avon wasn’t messing around when they say “True Color” on their cosmetics is the color you will receive, nail polish included. The color on the bottle is pretty much exactly what is on my nails after 2 coats.
