Happy Sunday, friends!
Today is all about nails! I've noticed that nudes/sheers are very trendy at the moment, so I came across this perfect shade of polish recently, and wanted to share with you! I have also listed the best base coat and top coat polish that you should use when trying to create this perfect over-all nude/sheer look!
Let's get started! First, apply your REVLON Colorstay Base Coat. Which you can find at your local Duane Reade (City peeps) Drugstore, or even online at Amazon! The link I have provided you with is from Amazon. The trick with this base coat is NOT to shake it! I know it can be an instinct to shake the polish before application, but in this case dont! Reason being, you do not want to create a "bubbling" effect after the base coat has dried. I apply ONE coat of this because thats really all you need! You will notice that it almost feels like you're putting gel onto your nails, as this coat is thick! That's one of the reasons why I love this product so much! You come away with your nails feeling slightly thicker/stronger and it looks like a gel manicure..except way cheaper! :)

Next! After the base coat has dried, apply your color! The color I have chosen is REVLON Colorstay in Pale Cashmere. This is a very pale pink, and I absolutely adore it! Perfect for spring! I apply 1 coat of this for the more sheer/nude look, and apply about 2 coats if I would like a more pink color. It's up to you!
Finally, after your color coat has dried, apply REVLON Colorstay Top Coat! Again, do not shake the top coat! This will create the "bubbling" effect I noted before. You want to be sure that the gel of the top coat is smooth and not full of air bubbles :) I apply one coat.
Now, my top coat looks like its tinted pink, but thats because I got a little impatient one night when applying red nailpolish and didn't wait for the color to completely dry! So, when I went and applied my top coat, the brush collected traces of red and put it in my bottle. WOOPS! So that is a perfect example of what NOT to do! :)
Here is the final look!
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! If you do pick up this product, let me know how it goes for you! Revlon Colorstay has a plethora of other colors that are just beautiful! I can't wait to pick up my next bottle!
