Cult Nails Cruisin Nude

Today's NOTD is Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude. When I first applied Cruising Nude, I loved it, a nude creme with pink shimmer what's not to love. The colour kinds of reminds me of rosegold. The pink shimmer is pretty noticeable, if not obvious and makes this polish stand out from all the other nude polishes out there.

 The application was really good, the polish maybe a little too thin but no issues with it. The pictures show three coats and I really think it need the third coat to eliminate visible nail line, but you could get away with two.   In the cold light of day, however, the colour just does not love my skin tone, I think it needs to be a smidgen lighter or darker. It seems in artifical light, it looks better on me but unfortunately in sunlight I mean daylight (there is no sunshine here!)  it kind of gives me dead hands. So I think this one to put away until summer, if that ever happens,when maybe my hands will be a little more tanned. But if you are darker or paler than me, it should work for you.    



Do you have any polishes which you love  but they just don't love you back?


Cult Nails polishes contain 15ml, cost $10 and are available from the Cult Nails website, www.cultnails.com.

  1. I love all nudes but none of them suit me! I get a severe case of mannequin hands. That's a lovely colour, I like the shimmer in it.

    1. I think I've become very meh over nudes, lately. They used to be one of my favourites but I've worn a few lately that I couldn't even bring myself to blog about.

  2. Reminds me a bit of Essie Demure Vixen, though it's a pinky base; the Essie has the same effect on me as Cruisin Nude does on you! It's a pretty polish though and still nice on you!
