My relationship with my fingernails is a constant battle between being cheap, broke and neurotic, so while I love doing a deep red or hot pink on my toes, I tend to stay with the soft pinks on my hands. Light shades tend to hide chips, allowing me to stretch the time between manis as long as possible and not look like a crazy person if I’ve picked at my polish a bit.

That’s why I’m stoked for Essie’s new shade, topless & barefoot, a “barely there soft beige pink.”
