OPI's Mod About You has long been one of my favourite nail polishes. I love the pale pink with just a hint of lilac tone to it, and mostly I love how opaque it is. But, as pretty as it is, I've a lot of moments where I found myself wishing it was just a touch more neutral. I wanted a colour that was the palest of pinks, almost white but completely opaque. OPI's Privacy Please, Bubble Bath and Sweetheart were on the right track colour-wise but even with four coats didn't give me that opacity I was after. I kept my eyes on the nail counters, always looking for the right one but the story was always the same; the colour was right but it just went on too sheer.
Finally, in steps Romper Room, one of Essie's 2014 Spring offerings. It's The One! It's exactly what I wanted. A fully opaque polish with just a whisper of pink. SO pretty! I'll admit, the formula is not as good as I'd like, it can streak a little on your second coat if you use too many strokes but I'm willing to overlook that because I'm in love.
Do you have either of these two polishes, which is your favourite?
Are there any other pale polishes that you think I should try?
The Essie shade looks stunning. I'm loving pale pinky tones on my nails at the moment :)

No problem :) This is definitely a good choice, I'm sure you'll love the color! x
DeleteOooh that's a gorgeous colour, I have on Revlon Bare Bones at the moment and its similar but more of a brown nude than a pink nude so I might have to get this too! :) <3
ReplyDeleteYes, you'd be right to! When it comes to nail polish, I say, the more the merrier!! :D

I'm a little bit obsessed with pinky nudes at the moment, having just bought Fiji. How does Romper Room compare to it? Mod About You is beautiful as well, but side by side it is a touch too lilac for me!

That is such a perfect nude-pink shade! I have always loved Essie, as I think their brushes are just the perfect size and they have such a good collection of colours!

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I'm wearing a pale pink color on my nails at the moment, I'm really loving pastels now :)
ReplyDeleteI love this shade too... even better that it's perfectly opaque! I hate layering on the coats.
