In honor of Butter London's Friends and Family Sale, on until November 7th, 2012: I think Butter London's Tea with the Queen might just be my HG nude. I usually shy away from wearing light colors on short nails, but I was feeling like a low-maitenance manicure after I found myself on the wrong side of the file and had to clip off a couple of shredded edges. Even on such short nails Tea with the Queen is perfect and lady-like! Most nudes highlight the ruddy tones around my knuckles. Dusty roses are flattering but just too grandma.
I'm wearing two coats here with CND's Stickey base coat and Speedey top coat and application is a dream! The first coat looked a little streaky but after the second the color appeared perfectly smooth. Cheap nudes, especially sheer nudes, are so often such a streak-fest (I'm looking at you Revlon. Or worse, Barielle) that I'll happily shell out $14 for something that provides such a beautiful color with a perfectly streak-free application.
