Top 5 Nude OPI Nail Polishes
I’ve done a few rounds of my favorite neutrals in the past year and these days I feel like it’s all I want to wear on my fingers. There are so many different definitions and variations of “nude” for polish. When someone asks me for a good everyday nude polish they can mean so many different things. Some think of a pale off white neutral, others a pink neutral, some envision a camel beige, neutral beige, pink beige, brown pink, mauve nude etc. What neutral looks like also depends on skin tone and how well the color matches or contrasts with your skin tone. Personally, I like something that is lighter or a lot lighter than my skin tone. Something that matches exactly ends up looking like mannequin hands which is not a good look on me. So these are my current Top 5 Nude OPI Nail Polishes I wear the most and also always get compliments or questions on.
Top 5 Nude OPI Nail Polishes
1. OPI Machu Peach-U
This color is the most perfect neutral nude peach ever made. I’m so sad it appears to be limited-edition. If you can locate it buy it immediately. It’s part of the Peru Collection and I think it should be made permanent! I was able to find some at my local Ulta even though it’s not online. You can still find it on Amazon.
2. OPI Tiramisu for Two
This one is a neutral beige pink nail polish. I love that it has full smooth coverage and doesn’t turn or look yellowish on the hands. It has a tiny bit of pink/cool undertone to prevent it from looking too beige. It’s the perfect everyday neutral. OPI has so many great neutrals but a lot of them are sheer. This one is opaque which makes it a winner in my book.
3. OPI Bubble Bath
If you love all things neutral and have gone through more bottle of Essie’s Ballet Slipper than you can count, we recommend opting for this demure shade which the brand describes as a “sweet candy pink.”
4. OPI Samoan Sand
This shade is one of the sheer ones but it’s not as sheer as Bubble Bath. I still need 3 coats for full coverage but for a beige it’s really so perfect I don’t mind. Finding a good beige nude is hard because of the yellow undertone in so many. It ends up making my skin look sallow. This has enough peachy undertone to make for the perfect sheer beige nude.
5. OPI Step right up!
This one is the most complimented nail polish I own. It has been my go-to for years and I can’t stop wearing it. NO! Like seriouslyyy!!! It’s neutral and pink and just perfect for any season or occasion. It applies perfectly with just two coats.
