Dare to Bare: Nude Nails

Every fashion aware girl should own a nude nail varnish, that's my belief and I'm sticking to it. Understated yet sexy, there's a fabulous air of sophistication which radiates from a nude talon. Here are my top picks for those who dare to bare...

butterLondon Nail Lacquer in Shandy (part of the new Starkers collection), £13

butterLondon (with it's oh so trendy packaging) is bang on trend with it's new Starkers collection. The Shandy shade, pictured above, is delightfully soft and creamy - wonderful for pale skin tones. It reminds me of delicate vintage lace.

Nails Inc Basil Street Polish, £11

I'm always a fan of the quintessentially British Nails Inc. Each shade is named after a well-known place in London (except for the darkest of shades, which is named 'Black Cab'...  too cute!) Basil Street has a more of a latte feel to it, Nails Inc describe the tone as Pale Soft Toffee. Gorgeously chic and really versatile, a shade which compliments light and dark skin tones. 

Rococo Nail Apparel Lab Nude 8.8 Creme, £12

Rococo Nail Apparel has a whole Nude offering which ranges from 1.0 (a sheer gloss) to 9.0 (a creamy mushroom). I love this caramel nude shade, Lab Nude 8.8, a warmer option for the trend which is gorgeous on darker skin tones. This varnish is quite thin but very fast drying, so you can build up the intensity of the shade with ease.
