Forget about the ‘it” bag or the “it” shoe. Fashion’s of the moment accessory is the wallet-friendly manicure.

A freshly manicured hand in a multitude of colors, designs and embellishments is the season’s hottest accessory. But, for us girls that love a more classic approach to nails, nude has always been the way to go. Since my first manicure way back in high school, I’ve had the darnedest time finding a nude shade to compliment my complexion.  So, you can imagine how excited I was when I heard eco-friendly cosmetics brand RGB collaborated with L.A. based celeb manicurist Jenna Hipp to create a luxurious collection of nudes available in sheer (Nail Tint) and opaque (Nail Foundation).

Intrigued, I decided to road test the complete opaque series on myself and friends. The results are in, HIPPxRGB collection is a hit! The F1 model, whose job requires her to have nude nails, said “it’s like liquid skin”! I tested both F3 and F4 and while I recieved compliments on both, F3 was the better match. Don’t you just love a product that seems like it was designed specifically for you?

Neon & Nude?! Yes, please with F1 nails. Daydreaming in F2 nails.

Summer white & lace with F3 nails. All glammed up with F4 nails!

So, which nude are you?
