Best pink/nude nail polish for pink-undertone pale skin?

OPI Don't bossa Nova me around

(Did not love)

I think this is the Essie base coat? Called Essie base coat.

Side note: I watched videos on YouTube about how to give yourself a nice manicure, and it really upped my game!

I’ll take outdoor pics of my nails tomorrow so you can see those five colours in natural light.

Loving all the pretty natural nail colors in pink and nude shades. Very feminine and elegant.

I choose "nude" almost every single time.

Love this! It almost looks like no nail polish at all.

I have a very similar pinkish skin tone. My hands tend to look slightly red around the nails. I went through a "holy grail" nude search and found Sally Hansen Salon Pink Pong was my sweet spot. I love the look of super pale polishes, like Opi "Bubble Bath" but not on me.

I have no nails night now (COVID stress and nail biting) but can show you the color on my nublets in a bit when the sun comes up.

Awww I am sorry you are biting your nails from stress. I hear you and while I don't bite my nails I am grinding my teeth I think. Life is challenging right now for so many of us. (((Hugs))).

Ugh...excuse the stubby.

Thank you Missy. What a year! Grinding teeth, biting nails....so many stress indicators. I hope 2021 is better!

Does it go on sheer? Thanks for the pic!

 

[MMtwo]

Sure thing. It is rather sheer. I'd call it a very neutral pink. Demo on paper:

I have the same skin tone as you, and have a bunch of recommendations for this!

OPI Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. (a little bit sheer)
OPI Sweetheart (my favorite)
OPI Somewhere Over the Rainbow Mountains (second favorite)
OPI My Very First Knockwurst
Sinful Colors Unicorns R Real (corny name, fantastic color)
Essie Fairy Tailor

I just did my nails with OPI Passion. Super sheer, warm pink and normally this type of color doesn’t work with my cool toned skin, but it’s kind of growing on me. The problem is it’s very sheer so you generally need 3 thin coats.
