Lavish Polish Nudie Booty

Today's lacquer is Nudie Booty from California-based indie polish maker Lavish Polish. The provenance of Nudie Booty is shrouded in mystery, but I do know that it's been around since March 2014 at least. So, an oldie but a goodie!

Nudie Booty is -- surprise! -- a nude holographic polish. The color is a light semi-translucent beige with a kiss of grey and maybe the barest wink of pink to it, resulting in a beautiful pale creamy latte or tea-with-milk kind of shade. Abundant finely-milled holographic pigment adds a delicate twinkle of pale gold in bright ambient light, and in the sun there's a sweet scattered prismatic display with tiny sparks in opalescent hues of pale blue and green. 

Application was stellar. The consistency of Nudie Booty is fluid, light and creamy with a thin-to-medium viscosity and a silky, even, self-leveling slip over the nail -- a creme/jelly hybrid sort of formula that is a delight to work with. A little goes a long way with this polish, no need for a heavily loaded brush. Pigmentation is very good for a formula with built-in translucence, delivering wearable opacity with the barest skosh of visible nail line in two coats. I used three for the photos, but it didn't change the appearance of the color. Cleanup is easy. Nudie Booty dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

When I saw this polish in Lavish's online shop, my exaggerated covet response went into overdrive. Buy ALL the nude holos! Adding fuel to the fire was Emely's note in the description: "It's a must have because to appreciate the beauty of this you have to see it in person." Ok, then! It certainly is beautiful and very graceful as well. It has a delicate, lucid quality and is ungrudgingly flattering -- the perfect character shoe for your nails!

    1. My powerful pinkage rather eclipses the nice subtle pink tone in this -- it looks very camel on me -- but I do also love the twinkle.
