Does the name make you want to go to the beach or what? Part of the Spring Color Forecast Collection No.4 and limited edition, Abalone Shell is a creamy nude shade perfect for ladies who want simple and clean but still pretty looking nails. Definitely office friendly.
Consistency is a bit runny (than say, CHANEL nail lacquers) but its easy to brush on the nails. The finish when it dries actually looks a bit dull for me so a clear top coat is must if you like shinier looking nails.

What do you think? Is it your kind of nude? :)
I love this shade! It's a perfect nude color for spring, and flatters you a lot! It kinda reminds me of my YSL Beige Mousseline. ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty nude nail colour! perfect for every occasion!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very pretty nude, quite sheer but still lovely. :) I only have one MAC nail polish but it's unused so I can't say anything about the formula.
ReplyDeletethanks Jess, Nic and K! :) its my first nude np and i like it so far. :)
ReplyDeletethe name makes me want some abalone :p i think it's a very nice nude! i've been trying to find a non-streaky nude! how many coats until this becomes opaque? (two like your nails?)
ReplyDeleteI love this! It definitely would be my kind of nude. =D
ReplyDeleteI've always been scared to try nude nail polish because i'm scared it'll look like I have no nails, LOL, but it looks good on you =)
ReplyDeleteHm...I like it. I have a feeling it would make my hands look lighter (instead of darker). I usually go for lighter shades and then regret it afterwards when I realize I've tanned.

ReplyDeleteOnce you get to know me better I will be able to make a joke about a line like that and you'll know I'm not being a jerk--just silly. At least I hope so! Wait, did you do that on purpose? Like the funny post title??? =)
