I have been trying to find a nice pale pinky/beigey/natural colour nail polish for ages now but I have no idea where to look because there are so many brands out there. Something a bit like this:







Does anyone know where I can find a colour similar to in those photos?

Try Nails Inc Portchester Square, it is more toward the light greige spectrum than pink.
Or perhaps Essie Ballet Slippers, they have a myriad of pale pink shades.
Try googling swatches to find the right color for your skin tone though as shades in this spectrum are really variable between sheers or creme glosses.

I've looked at a lot of Essie shades, and I really like the South of the Hi'way, however the reviews are terrible! Have you used Essie before?

Yup, I've used Essie loads, where I come from it is the brand favored by the majority of nail salons. Many of the pale colors are really way too sheer for my taste but used with good quality top and base coat I have never experienced quality issues or inconsistency with their product.

I'm a bit of a nail junkie I guess so I've tried all the decent brands and I personally think that for the kind of color you're looking for that Essie do a good job at an inexpensive price point.

Thank you for your input, I ended up ordering Essie's 'Instant Hot' off of ASOS (free next day delivery!) as the coloured matched my criteria and the picture reviews I saw made it look perfect

The nail polish in the photos looks a lot like like Utopia from Models Own. Let me know what you think !

It's so nice, and even though it's a light colour it's not streaky like I find other light colours to be. I didn't realise that you had already gotten a nail polish that looks like the one in the photos until after I'd posted mine, but I just had to post my suggestion anyway ! I hope you are enjoying the Essie nail polish.

That's good to know because I have virtually no patience so wouldn't want to deal with streaking! I do like the Essie one, but I really like the look of the one you posted so i'm going to give that a go too

Not sure if they do the colour you're looking for, but I'm so in love with Opi lately. Love nail varnishes!

Are you people so bored with your lives you actually sit at your laptop or whatever on the internet discussing nail polish?

Are you so bored with your life that you made a TSR account just to ask people if they are bored with their lives
