Essie: Sand Tropez

Sand Tropez - It's beige, it's bone, it's cream, it's sand...
 
I don't think I've run out of ways to describe this neutral have I?  Or have I? So how does Essie describe Sand Tropez? They refer to it as a "soft sandy beige" so I've definitely covered it.  In terms of application this cream pastel polish is a fiddly one because it's thick and almost too creamy so it's prone to leaving an uneven finish on the nail.  Here I've used two coats plus top coat which helped to smooth it all out.  Despite the tricky application I do love the colour and, yes, it's brought on a craving for summer!

Until next time!

    1. Oh no! It's all about finding the right nude I think - there are some that look too pink against me and then my skin looks a ghastly yellow. Me no likey!

    1. It's a great 365 day polish! For a nude it's a little more interesting I think :)
