You know me: I love my nail polishes. Brights, darks, reds, roses, blues – I even love the greens! But – and this you may not know – I also love a good ‘natural’ color nail polish. For year that’s all I wore: a little Mademoiselle or Pink Slipper and I was happy. Though I have ‘graduated’ (lol) I have not left my affection for natural and nude colors behind. And MAC’s Abalone Shell (part of their Spring Color Forecast Collection #4 – due to hit counters everywhere February 11th) might just be the perfect nude polish out there.
Abalone Shell in the bottle. Will it be remain this color on nails?
Why? Well, the formula is creamy and goes on perfectly – no streaking, no lines, no brush marks. And the color is highly pigmented to create a true-to-shade nude color without any transparency whatsoever. This is also a limited-edition, so get your before they sell out!
What do you think? Pretty nude, ey?

That color looks SO good on you! It’s like your perfect nude shade. I don’t even have a nude creme… but I’ve been keeping my eyes open for one that looks like it might match my skintone. This one sounds really nice.

It really is, Asami! I cannot get over just how beautiful and natural this looks when you put it on. I tried it again just last night with a matte top coat (’cause I love all things matte!) and it looks AMAZING! Let me know if you try it!

Ooh, now I’m super excited to try it matte too.
I love how a matte topcoat can make polishes look completely different. I find that mattifying anything with large glitter pieces or flakies in it tends to look awesome.
Thanks for the heads up on this! I never really browse the MAC store so I never know what polishes they come out with until someone shows me online.

Man, your nails are perfect! How do you get them to look so amazingly perfect?!?!?!

Sadly, MAC stopped producing this color and I just love it! Any suggestion for similar tone? Thanks!

Nude polish never looks good on me for some reason. Looks good on you though!
