Frame; Simply Nude Too!

Nail brands are leading the way (as I would expect them to), creating colours with undertones from dark chocolate, rich caramel, soft peach to subtle pinks.  I’ve been impressed with O.P.I , Leighton Denny, Nails INC, Zoya, Deborah lippmann, CND and in particular Butter LONDON, who have a wonderful range called Tinted Moisturiser in six translucent colours and shades.  So following on from Simply Nude lipsticks, flesh-toned nail varnishes are growing to encompass a wider range of complexions.  Although I have noticed a lot of brands carry colours from mid to very dark ‘flesh’ shades, do not put them in the ‘Nude’ section but will generally be in the Brown section instead. I wonder if this is because they’re referencing the colour of the nail bed and not the skin?  So either way a little searching on your part is needed.
