Nail Polish

[mermaidsandcats]

I am looking for a light, neutral/cool, creamy brown. It should be opaque.

What comes close to what I am searching for is OPI Tickle My France-y, but don't like the red/rose undertone. The color should be "foody", making you think of chocolate and Starbucks .

Any ideas? I already checked nailgal.com ...

I don't crave any nail polishes at the moment... That's rare There's just nothing that tempts me this season. I have the dark berry colour, the nudes, the pinks, the reds, I don't think I need anything for a long time.

Essie has a color called "Tartufo" which is a mushroom color.

is haute chocolate only available in the US?

 

[lollicandy]

^ Yes it is US only, sorry.

i have on OPI samoan sand, its timeless
last week i had on OPI siberian nights...but too many people are doing dark nails.

that really p*sses me off, why does Chanel do that? they are BASED In France why on earth do they make so much stuff US exclusive? Paris is the fashion capital of the world for God's sake! i've been looking all over Europe for it. i'm so annoyed

i bought "play 'till midnight" today! its part of opi's new toyland collection its a dark blue with most subtle subtle shimmer and its gorgeous!

I don't know why Haute Chocolat is US only. But, it was the prize winner in the annual Seventeen magazine contest.

I'm tired of my bare nails. Metro Chic and Meet for Drinks looks pretty awesome. I'm liking the rich deep colors.

^ I'm wearing Metro Chic right now! I'm kind of disappointed with it to be honest. It doesn't look the same on my nails as it does in the bottle. Maybe I still need to get used to it. I really want to love grey for this season! I think I preferred Meet for Drinks better, even though they're completely two different shades. The applications were both flawless though I must say. I'm glad they kept the same OPI formula for the Sephora line.

I'm in a total nail polish funk right now. I don't feel like wearing ANY colors right now that never happens. I need some inspiration!!

^Have you tried 'You don't know Jacques' from the original OPI line... fabulous! It is a fanatastic grey-ish color...

Actually I hardly use any nail polish...maybe only some transparent one to make my nails stronger, but atm I'm totally into painting my nails Have no idea why (maybe because I have too much spare time haha). Yesterday I bought 4 new colours (nothing special, just had to find somethig unexpensive) and I can't wait to try them out!

 

[Ciao Bella]

Just finished up this weeks mani.... I chose O.P.I. for Sephora 'Im with Brad'....
it is described as shimmering wine over coffee.... really like it!

^ that looks beautiful! it looks similar to chanels haute chocolate though.. do you know how close it is?

 

[Ciao Bella]

^It has a hint of burgundy shimmer to its base, I think haut chocolate does not??...anyway... love!

They aren't close. I'm With Brad is a dark red, and Haute Chocolate is a milk chocolate brown with golden shimmer. I'm not sure there any close dupes of Haute Chocolate, which I guess is good for Chanel

thanks Ciao Bella! I'm so eager to fall in love with a new color. I'm going to pick it up today. I found out there's a Beauty and Nail supply store 5 minutes away from my house that sells OPI for $6 and you don't even need a beauty license apparently!

sephora makes a brown one that looks actually a lot like Haute Chocolate. it doesn't have the golden shimmer though. I bought it about 2 months ago and I love it! 4.50 euros (I think), but it's in the small bottles sephora makes

oohhh icic. thanks for the comparison lollicandy! i want to get opi's too. they are both beautiful.
