Wait did I say nude?
The Chief Blonde is wearing Crab Tree and Evelyn Mocha Nail Lacquer ($6), Gold Double Happiness Necklace (gift from friend, similar) and O-ring Gold Heart Ring (bought in Zurich Switzerland, similar).
I hate applying my own nail polish, do you?
It’s not that I hate nail polish application, it’s just that I am such a spaz. I am the messiest person in the world and it seems that my skin gets more nail polish on it then my finger tips. BUT…guess what I discoverd? I was sent these lovely nude shades from Crabtree &Evelyn. They not only stay on a long time, but also apply easily. With them being nude shades, even my tiny little mess-ups are very hard to see. BONUS! 
My favorite of the four new shades is the Mocha which I have on my nails above. The perfect shade for fall manicures. I like the staying power of the polish (2-3 days with no top or bottom coat.) The Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquers:
- Reinforces and protects nails
- Formulated without camphor, dibutyl phthalates, formaldehyde or toluene
- Universal shades that flatter every skin tone
Crabtree and Evelyn’s New Nude Shades: Alabaster, Mocha, Almond and Peaches and Cream ($6 from Crabtree & Evelyn).
Which is your favorite of the four new shades? Will you be wearing nudes for your fall manicures?

I just can’t be bothered to do nail polish. Not fun for me.
I love the nudes and earthtones. I also like these shades because they’re classics and really never go out of style.
Of the four shades listed above I like the Peaches and Cream, it’s definitely something I would wear.
I love nude colors and purples. When I’m dressed to go out I wear nudes. When I’m painting my nails with my granddaughter, I like purples. Of course, they don’t look very good because of the way my hands shake now days, but it’s still fun to do.
Fun is the KEY Fee! The Chief Blonde
Nude is my go to color. I think I would like Alabaster best. I really like the nude color with the gold jewelry in this post.
I love the Nude colors for any time of the year! I love all of the colors from Crabtree and Evelyn’s New Nude Shades: Alabaster, Mocha, Almond and Peaches and Cream! I will be trying these out!
I do polish my own nails. I enjoy changing the color often. It’s the drying that’s a pain! Essie has a new topcoat that mimics acrylics and I love it, use it all the time. These colors are a throwback as I remember wearing them in the 60s/70s. My favorite of the four is peaches and cream. I’ve had problems with these light colors, needing MANY coats to cover. What’s your experience with that? Thanks, Kay
I like the Almond and the Peaches and Cream. I don’t like to paint my own nails, but I think I sheer color looks healthy and nice on your nails, especially when short. I like these.
I really like the peaches and cream
Oooh! I would like to try all of these shades. I love a nude with a bit of shimmer. The color you model is lovely.
I think this particular nail polish has my name all over it! I once did my toe nails and ended up with nail polish all over my upper thigh. How that happens, I will never know so I understand your nail polish plight >.<
Almond looks great! I personally can’t wear polish for work but would love a fall mani!
I love nude manicures. They are a great everyday look – polished yet natural looking too. I already have a mocha color I love, but the Alabaster would be a perfect addition to my collection.
I really like the Peaches and Cream, I might be bold if I can use a nude with a french manicure. I am so pale, sometimes I wonder how well I can pull it off!
Oh those are pretty colors too. I like the peaches and cream. At least in the pictures. Not sure which I would like best on my nails.
I’m like you, I make a mess if I try to do them myself.
I have all four and I like the mocha the best for my skin tone. Shelley
LOL. Yep I saw that. And yes I am getting it. I think it was a gamil thing because that wasn’t the only problem I had. Looks like all is working right again. For now.
I love the mocha and almond shades. I would wear nudes for everyday, but I prefer sparkly colors for going out.
Teressa, Me too! But since I have tried these news, they are so elegant, I might wear them for going out as well. Shelley
I don’t wear nail polish but when I did I always preferred brights. My hands are so pale that nudes just never looked good. I’m just not a subtle color kind of girl
Patty me too, until I tried these nudes, and I was like DAMN these are so pretty! Shelley
I like the Mocha Almond. I really enjoy nudes and they are supposed to be hot this year.
Well at least you did say manicures. Hopefully no one is gonna expect to see a nude blonde :p
The worst part was that I did the title and the subheading and hit publish. So when my feed went out…that’s all that was there. SO all readers say was that…the NUDE post! Did you see this via my email newsletter? Are you getting it now? Shelley
