This is THE BEST nude color I’ve ever found, and I’ve tried everything since it’s been discontinued. NOTHING compares. Please bring it back I am begging.

LOVE IT!!

Originally tried Rock the Runway due to its popularity & reviews (it was nice). But then I tried Scarlet Starlet and fell in love!! It’s a deeper, richer red color and has a stunning pearlescent sheen to it. I got so many compliments!

yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful warm mocha

3 years ago
Bought the gel couture line after reading so many positive reviews and so glad that I did. After years of bi weekly gel polish manicures, my nails became weak and brittle. I’m working to restore the health of my nails and decided to try this line. Love the rich pigment and high gloss shine. And the best part - it really does last (about 7 days for me).

yes, I recommend this product.

Love this color and polish

4 years ago
This polish gives me the most professional looking results I’ve ever achieved at home. Goes on so smooth, is more forgiving than my usual lacquers and I love the shape of the brush. Makes it easy to get close to the cuticle without actually painting the cuticle and making a sloppy mani. I also love this color, in particular. It is definitely a purple with some mocha mixed in, so it is a muted purple. I would not call this a nude for any skin tone. It’s just what I was looking for, though. I’ll be buying more polishes from this line, for sure.

yes, I recommend this product.
