The One Thing You Need for Spring

OPI Nail Polish

A nude nail polish shade, but of course! Before leaving for Philadelphia earlier in the week, I stopped at Ulta for a new nail polish (because I can’t leave home without a manicure). I often have to go through my polish arsenal to make sure I don’t buy duplicates of similar hues. But this time, I knew the color I was searching for, or so I thought…

OPI Dulce de Leche

I quickly spotted the dark taupe shade I was seeking, aptly named You Don’t Know Jacques. But before I purchased it, I glanced over the other shades that OPI offered. That’s when I saw it — a nude polish that I found hard to resist. Dulce de Leche was the perfect shade for spring. If you’re looking for a neutral color with a hint of pinky beige, this one is for you. I can see wearing this shade all through the spring and summer, and it’s ideal for a professional setting.

  4. I don’t paint my nails that often because as a mom, I’m always cleaning, doing laundry, etc. and it chips really fast 🙁 But, when I do, I love a nude shade. It looks so classic and polished. I love the shade you chose and I’m very impressed you can do your own nails! Whenever I try, it looks like a kindergartener did it lol!

    • Thanks, Kate! Nude colors are great for spring. I tend to keep my nails polished a lot because otherwise I pick at them. With the right color, painting your nails yourself isn’t so bad — but it has taken me years to be able to do it well.

    • Thanks, Jalisa! I’m so happy with this color. You know how sometimes it looks one way in the store, and then you try it on your nails and it looks completely different? Well, not with this color. It’s so pretty in the bottle and on my nails. I’m glad you like it, too.

    • Thanks, Ela! I like to keep my nail polish shades simple, too, so they can go with whatever I decide to wear. Although once summer gets here, I’m all about bold corals. I bought a really pretty mint shade from Whim last year. I can’t wait to sport it again!
