I intended to get a mani/pedi with one of the shades I featured from my last week’s post, but I never made it to the nail salon. By the time I had a free moment to go, I had completely changed my mind on colors due to the fact I am the most indecisive when it comes to nail colors. They all look so pretty, I can never decide, so always bring 2-3 bottles with me to either:
A) Decide at the last minute, or
B) Ask the salon which color they recommend
I brought Rococo Organza and Paul & Joe 02 Heirloom with me and could not decide on a color, so the nail aesthetician said, “why not use both?” I happily agreed. She applied a layer of Rococo Organza on the bottom (which applied like a dream) and then two coats of Paul & Joe 02 Heirloom on top.
The result = a very natural and conservative barely-there nail look that is both interview and work appropriate.
Rococo Organza is a soft nude pink with opal iridescence. However, there was a slight difference from the one I purchased compared to the tester at SpaceNK (which was a nude with gold shimmer much like Essie’s Chips-No-Potatoes). You can see other swatches of Organza linked here.
Paul & Joe Heirloom 02 is a sheer transparent champagne-gold with the most gorgeous microglitters. I don’t know if you can tell from the swatch photos, but if you look really close at the fingers, it just looks magical. I believe Paul & Joe 02 Heirloom is discontinued, but you should still be able to find it. There are similar shades that you can see in my post here on Paul & Joe Nail Enamels.
Together, the colors are very sheer and give that barely-there look. While it may seem too natural to some, it will definitely suit those who aren’t a fan of having noticeable color on their fingers. I know DH approves. He’s not a fan of bright colors on my fingers, but tolerates it, lol.
So pretty Sabrina! I prefer to stick to neutrals for my hands too.. I feel like very bright colors look strange and kinda jarring with my skintone… =/
I have been on a pale/neutral pink kick lately and I am loving my new Essie nailpolish in BBF Best Boyfriend 🙂
i like shimmery nudes on nails… i think its just so classy and pretty
I love this look – clean and dare I say, sexy?? =)
This is a beautiful look. I think nude nails are underrated.
Super pretty colors! 🙂
That's super gorgeous. I love!
I like how it blends in with your skin tone. Very natural and nice!
So very pretty!! I love P&J 02 but sadly I have yet to find the perfect opaque neutral to wear it over. I keep my nails a bit longer than yours and I hate when I have visible nail line (VNL) since mine is so uneven (not at all cute like yours!).
Chic, chic, chic, love both colors!
Please, could you swatch the P & J framboise, I guess is number 6.
Thanks Sabrina.
