Barely There



I do like colour on the nails but sometimes I'll reach for a light or nude shade. Although it is spring, going on summer now where I would typically reach for colours, I've been embracing the barely there nail polish look.
The Nails Inc NailKale Illuminator is the real barely there nail polish of my collection. It is basically a nearly clear nail polish hints of iridescent pearls in it for healthier looking pink nail beds and whiter tips. A coat or two will do the trick and while it is gorgeous on its own, it is also perfect for a French manicure to really highlight the tips.
Another one from the brand is the Nails Inc NailKale Mayfair Lane, a beautiful dusty pink that I find really helps to bring out a tan. It is obviously pink, but light enough that it can almost look white with darker skin. One coat can sometimes be enough but I like to do coats just to make sure it is even and opaque.
For a true neutral nude, I go for OPI Samoan Sand. I don't know that it gets much more neutral nude than this one as it seems to suit just about every skin tone to make the hands look healthy. Sounds a bit strange, I know, but the magic this nude works on the nails to make the hands look alive and not sickly like some other nudes is amazing.
What "barely there" nail polishes do you recommend?
