What qualifies as a good nude may depend on one's skin tone - whether it is cool or warm - or neutral somewhere between the other two.

I am not crazy about cool pinks because my skin tone is neutral leaning toward warm.

I use two OPI for Sephora colors:
-- Nonfat Soy Half Caff, a light warm beige creme - which i find a little too brown and dark on my fair skin
and
-- Dear Diary, a pale warm pink creme - which is a little too pale pink, although being a warm pink is good.

So i blend the two colors this way:
I do my first coat with NSHC
Then my second coat with DD

This creates a nearly perfect nude for me. Since i would do two coats no matter what, it isn't any more trouble than using one color twice and it gives me a color that is good for my skin tone and doesn't look too flat.

I really like Essie Ballet Slipper (I believe that's the name), it's the perfect pale pink. Just a hint of soft color. I love nude shades too -- chips are way less noticeable and you don't have to worry about your manicure clashing with your outfit!

Thanks for the recommendation! I have that one already, but haven't used it in a while. I like the color, but I remember thinking that it difficult to get an even coat with this partiular shade.. I'll have to give it another go to see how I feel about it. Thanks again!

I love Sally Hansen's Complete Manicure polish in Nude Now. I also like Revlon polish in Créme Brûlée. 

Thanks, I'll check those out the next time I head to the store!

There is a really awesome nude from eyeslipsface.com aka. E.L.F. I'm not sure what it's called but there is only one nude. Plus, it's only $1.00. However, E.L.F seems to be sold out alot which is a major downer for me. 

When I saw this color from this web site..i know i'll def get one, Essie new Fall collection "Lady Like". Love this color so much!! Its Nude and clean!!!
