What’s your go-to nail polish? Do you have one? Does it change often?
The closest to go-to for me is China Glaze For Audrey, which is pretty much the only shade I wear on my toes.
Thanks to Shara for today’s question! Got a question idea? Submit yours here.
My go-to brand is Maybelline quick dry. The color changes, but I can get a gorgeous pro looking toe nail painting that lasts for weeks! And the toes have been blue for the last twenty years. Shade changes, but they just stay blue for some reason? MAC is second best; dries mighty fast too. My fingernails are toast in a few days so I change colors a lot but it has to be quick-dry. I forget and do things, lol.
OPI Big apple red, Coney island cotton candy, You don't know Jaques and We'll always have Paris are my top 4
My go-to nail polish will forever be Recycle by Rescue Beauty Lounge. It goes with everything I wear, mostly grey, navy, super light blush-peach, and drab greens, and the creme finish is glossy and chic.
As far as brands go, I always hit up Orly or Pure Ice. Orly for fingers and Pure Ice for toes. The quality you get for less than $2 when it comes to Pure Ice is amazing.
Chanel Blue Satin, I've been wearing it on my toes forever.
Rbl grunge or under my trench coat by opi for sephora..
Under My Trench Coat is my favorite edgy neutral. : )
Right now it's BB Couture Blue Bahama. I'm rockin' that on my toes :)
OPI Jade Is The New Black. I just lovde green polish and that's the perfect color of green. I don't do nude or pink polishes ;)
I have 3 that I grab more often than any other polish I have; Nubar "Indigo Illusion", Nubar "Wildlife" and Lippmann "Call Me Irresponsible". If they ever get discontinued, I would cry lol
Call Me Irresponsible is the best violet jelly EVER, in my opinion. I think I need to get a backup bottle STAT!
Either OPI Tickle My Francey or OPI You Don't Know Jacques
OPI Vodka and Caviar. I love all color nail polish but I always feel best when my nails are painted red and this one is definitely my go-to shade.
Since I am always in a professional business attire atmosphere, I constantly go for OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy! I am in love with this color because it is nude enough to look natural but still give my nails some color as well! :)
Opi tickle my franceey it's beautiful
Lippmann - ruby red slippers
Lippmann - Ruby Red Slippers <3
Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish in Lazer, I love it! Duo chrome Blue.
So far there are 2 that I come back to again and again when I can't decide what to pick. Both are OPI and I use either California Raspberry or That's an El of a Color. They pretty much go with anything and everything!
YSL's Blanc Lunaire/Moonlight White. It gives nails a white glow and neutralises yellow.... Its like a "My nails, but better" polish!
opi's lincoln park after dark
That's an awesome shade!
Is For Audrey called something different in Toronto? We have a huge selection of China Glaze colours but I can never, ever find For Audrey. Or was it maybe a limited edition? To answer the question, I don't have a go-to nail polish. I only have about 10 colours and I rotate through them. I've never been a huge nailpolish buyer/collector...never any money left over after I'm done buying makeup! Lol
I have no idea. I think it should just have one name?
jade is the new black by Opi
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or a cheap substitude is Hard Candy's Rumor Mills looks almost the same (but not as good as OPI but I can get it at Walmart when I pick up my deodorant lol)
Essie Not Just A Pretty Face - perfect nude pink beige!
Mine would have to be Deliciously Dark by Rimmel. I always use it on my toes and often on my fingernails. Its a gorgeous dark cherry colour with a subtle shimmer. Always a really good colour for a/w i think. I must have gone through about 5 bottles of the stuff by now.
pretty much any brand of black nail polish. i have been using blue india by mac often also rimmels grey matters. i mainly stick with these 3 colors all year!
For Audrey! Either that or Tart Deco by Essie :)
Revlon's Gold Get'em - it's a neutral, goes with every outfit, and can be worn year round. Plus it looks nice with just one coat.
I like to wear "Rumple's Wiggin" by OPI.... it's a really light pruple color... it's almost a nuetral because it is so pale. :)
China Glaze Innocence. Nice nude, pink, natural, clean looking color. I love it!
I have 2 general go-tos: Orly Gumdrop (which is For Audrey but with a much better formula) and Orly Space Cadet. If we're talking work-safe/family-friendly: Color Club Fashion Addict. This lilac is very flattering and toned down but has holo to satisfy flashy polish addicts like me.
Zoya "Gia," a classic tomato red.
My go-to for toes is Chanel Lotus Rouge. Best red polish ever.
I love love Reds...berries & purples... My go-to shades are OPI's I'm not really a waitress and Eiffel for this color. I also like Miami Beet! And clear polish on days when I'm giving my nails and toes a break from color:)
OPI Got the blues for red, the perfect shade of slightly dark red
At the moment I'm very impressed with Jade Rose. Paradoxal was the color I NEEDED from the fall collections and it is as stunning as I thought it would be. But I didn't have any high expectations from Jade Rose. Who knew it would look this flattering on me! I've had strangers complimenting me on the color, and the only other polish I have that has that effect is For Audrey:-)
OPI La Paz-itively Hot. It's the perfect hot pink (with a tiny touch of blue) and has been my trademark nail polish for like five years. On my toes is a just a cheapy Wet&Wild in a pearly dark pink.
OPI Por Favor is my go to as well as the OPI Designer series anything and a new one that I tried today is Butter London 'All Hail McQueen' is so great like that too. Great neutral for work
Essie Cinchilly and Over the top on my fingers and Fiji for my toes
For a long time mine was OPI samoan sand, I'm now in love with OPI Makes Men Blush :)
I usually use Revlon in any shade of purple. But I dont have a specific color. I used purples all year long except Valentines Day, 4ht of July, Thanksgiving thru New Years. When I wears browns, reds, and silvers. Ocassionally I will wear fun colors like Aquas on my birthday and such. :)
I don't have a go to nail polish, I change up my nails like every three days
I just bought For Audrey on Tuesday, after checking Temptalia for swatches (I'm looking to rebuild the modest nail polish collection I had a few years ago, only with decent polishes). It's currently my go-to shade, as I only have three others, and two of them are shimmer, which I've recently decided I don't even like in a polish... I'll have you know I wore it out for the first time yesterday (to work, but hey), and received a compliment on it, which I sort of expected, considering how lovely the color is, but has never happened to me with any other polish (and I used to have more than four). I bought this polish out of my disappointment at missing out on the first-run BOS III (stupid work), but I expect I'll be purchasing more China Glaze shades in the future. And it's your fault.
LOL! OOPS!
OPI's Midnight in Moscow - I wore it on my toes all winter for the past 2 years
Sorry, but I have 3... Under My Trench Coat (Sephora by OPI) Metro Chic (Sephora by OPI) Gray Cement (Sally Hansen Xtreme)
Opi's barefoot in Barcelona. When I don't feel like being over the top and bold with color, I like having mannequin hands lol it's not too matchy with my skintone but just a perfect neutral.
