Best nude nail polishes

If you haven't tried a nude nailpolish, now's the time to grab your polish remover and rid your nails of their seasonal hues and all too predictable (yawn) French manicures. Nude polish is the perfect alternative to hard to maintain shades.

Here's a roundup of the top colors for all skin tones tried and tested by yours truly. These nude polish suggestions look great, wear well, and are by far the most demure options in the neutral polish category.

1. Butter London Yummy Mummy- $14 worth of naked bliss, available at Ulta

2. Essie Barefoot and Topless- Why not bare all with this hue? Readily available at Target

3. Essie Mink Muffs- The name alone justifies purchase, available at Target

4. OPI- Tickle My France-y- A naughty little mauve based nude that's feminine and flirty, available at select beauty supply stores

5. Essie Ladylike- The name says it all, Essie's 2011 mauve based nude screams for your best pair of heels

To add some edge to your look, pair your neutral nude manicure with a contrasting vampy pedicure or a playful lavender or turquoise blue hue. Keep things interesting. Nude doesn't have to be boring. In fact, it's downright sexy!

P.S. You're welcome.
