The Best Nude Nail Polish for Every Skin Tone! (Beige to Brown) || KELLI MARISSA

[@jessicajordan2507]

Can I just say how much I appreciate the inclusivity and thoughtfulness of this list? Not only picking for a range of skin tones but a range of skin undertones as well? That's so rad.

[@gail4077]

Do I like nude polishes? Not really. Am I watching this nude polishes video? ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha Gail!! I'm honored you watched anyway 😅💖💖💖

[@supriyagour2892]

Right there with you! :)

[@discord37]

Me too! I doubt I'd ever wear a nude, I want dramatic colors that are seen if I am going through putting it on. Same on the face. But I still must watch this! I own two $1 store nudes to use for removing glitter polish.

[@JESUSLOVESYOU219]

😱Nudes are my FAVOURITE

[@user-ed3uh9pd9z]

Same!!!!

[@rachelcakes3929]

I love that the nudes are a huge range of color. You really made sure to include every shade and tone. Thanks for your hard work 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Yay I'm so happy you enjoyed it Rachel!!!

[@prettyllamaplans]

I genuinely love how easy going you are, and the very friendly but informative vibes, It really makes me feel like grabbing a cup of tea and join the chat! Thank you so much for sharing with us! And also, IT'S SO SATISFYING TO SEE SUCH PERFECT APPLICATION, is seriously hypnotic hahaha. *enough with me fangirling, sorry!!* Can't wait to see more!

[@kaitlynbrouillet6978]

I’d love if brand favorites were added to this series! Favorite OPIs, favorite China glaze, favorite ILNP, etc. I’d also love favorite full coverage glitters!

[@TwinsTry]

I love that the nude polish was so loosely defined. Also somehow I watched a 30+ min video on nail swatches

[@marissach]

I like the nudes with a little sparkle or irdirescence because they are a good compromise between my usual colorful sparkly polish and work meetings/events that call for neutral polishes. Other "favorites" video suggestions: favorite polishes for nail art, favorite polishes for winter, favorite pastels, favorite metalics/jewel tones. I collect postcards but I haven't gotten any this year because I have gone nowhere.

[@26Bluegb]

Nude sparkly for when you can only be *slightly* extra.

[@marissach]

@@26Bluegb haha exactly

[@tpayton9715]

The way that you included shades that may suit all skintones from the lightest to the darkest was all I needed to become a new subscriber. So bomb! You became my best friend in my head once you swatched various nudes with a twist -shimmer, frosts, glitters. On myself, I've always wanted to find 'my' color but generally find nudes boring on me. So the nudes with something extra are really cool.

[@rdkllducky]

Who else's going to buy 40 nail polishes after this?

[@KelliMarissa]

🤣🤣🤣

[@chihuahuamartin24]

Not me. I have a couple of those OPI’s . I really don’t care for the vanilla ice cream looking ones.

[@BCSchmerker]

+rdkllducky 🤣 *Can't afford to, neither have I enough giftlists to fill withal.*

[@ucsbgirlie18]

If you could only have twenty nail polishes for the next year, which ones would you choose?

[@meeprific]

Fun! Or 21, for 2021? :)

[@tuikkur.5655]

Oh YES! This is such a cool idea! Although I'm already seeing poor Kelli looking horrified like a hunted deer in the headlights...😳😰 Picking only 20 polishes from the whole collection could feel like an overwhelming task...🤔 But hey @kellimarissa if you are up to it, we all would definitely salute your braveness! 😁🥰😘

[@flacadiabla3193]

Cruel, but I love it! 😏

[@ucsbgirlie18]

[@geenascariah7675]

I've just started loving brown polishes, so this video is a godsend! This is incredibly thorough and I loved every second! I appreciate the time you spent on this!

[@bxlovebx]

omg I've been trying to find a nude that matches my skin tone for the longest time!

[@doroparker1702]

Try one matching skintones and one matching natural nail tone. One nude is just not enough 😉

[@sheislisab9592]

What about favorite one coaters? Fave brands from around the world?

[@CamilaSaurus]

Ooh favorite one coaters sounds like it would drain my wallet haha, but otherwise amazing idea!

[@alexiswalker5717]

Yes! Who doesn't dream of having a one coat polish?!

[@jenthebubble1914]

Favs brands from around the world! 💖

[@jennmarie6]

I’m so envious of your perfect polish application. It’s flawless!

[@sav9207]

i normally am not the hugest fan of speckled polishes but the picture polish lucky shade is SO PRETTY AAAAA!!! i absolutely love your videos because i find polishes that i normally wouldnt pick up that are actually stunning

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay I'm so happy to hear that :) It's always fun exploring different options and trying stuff I didn't think I would like too haha!

[@LV4233]

Favorites request : Sheers/Jellies!

[@abaker2302]

I second this. I'm obsessed with jellies!

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

I really need some pink/nude (but not milky) sheer polish recommendations.

[@Chloe-ul3vd]

absolutely LOVE how inclusive this is!!!

[@pattiepepper6217]

I LOVE how you describe the colors! So DETAILED and accurate and nuanced! Thank you for that excellence in your channel! Bought SO MANY new polishes because of you! Love you girl! ❤

[@johdonnaharris2637]

Kelli my dad started me collecting $2 bills when I was a little girl. I have added a few to them, through the years after he passed away. I will ALWAYS treasure them & the good memories we made together.

[@doroparker1702]

😳 I didn't know there were such thing as two-dollar-bills? Things you learn on youtube.... Just checked it on Wikipedia. I live in Europe, maybe Americans know the 2- dollar-bills.

[@simple_naildesigns]

I’m sorry for your loss. 😌 That’s so sweet that you continue to collect them. 💖

[@claudia8861]

OMG, what a thorough and useful review, Kelli Marissa. I loved it.

[@KzooBeerGirl]

Green is my favorite polish color to wear (especially prugly greens) but I LOVE a good nude too, my second favorite!

[@CamilaSaurus]

Omg I can’t stop buying prugly greens lately! I have to actively stop myself from thinking I need to try more prugly greens haha

[@KzooBeerGirl]

@@CamilaSaurus, same! I have SO many but I just keep buying them!

[@mollyw.1051]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the giant swatch displaying all the reviewed colors. It's super helpful, especially when you already have one of them and don't want to duplicate that specific look. You rock (per usual).

[@mollyw.1051]

Omg…I just liked my own comment not realizing it was my own comment. Derp.

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Brown is probably my favorite color so I love most of these, and it totally still counts if it's sparkly! I love ilnp for holographic nude/beige polishes because they have some that are absolutely stunning. Soft Focus is my favorite there. Oh, and Cherubic from Color Club! It's kind of a champagne gold holo, but it almost matches my skin tone so I think it counts

[@stacym6076]

Oh my gosh, I never EVER buy darker browns because I don't think that I'd like them. But this video has opened my eyes to new possibilities, so thank you so much!

[@dawnkozlowski9788]

I’ve never been this early! Love your videos, Kelli. You always give an honest opinion of the swatches ❤️

[@janetcannonteacher]

Every time you apologized for a polish not being a nude, I wanted to shake you (in a friendly and loving way). It's your video! Do what you want and don't apologize. And those who complain are likely to be people who complain no matter what. 😘

[@doroparker1702]

Yes, so right. When you love nude you also love the browns and Grey's. Just calming down the manicure when you had a week of colorful nailart on your nails.

[@CrystalsPolish]

YAAAASSSSSS!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@sakayla37too]

I literally don't paint my nails any color but black but I love watching these videos so much 😌 thanks Kelli !

[@susannes2190]

China Glaze " Send Hues" is my favorite. Love that chocolate brown color.

[@KelliMarissa]

It is so unreal gorgeous!!!

[@melaniesnailcreations136]

I was shopping around for the perfect nude polish shade last week and I purchased the OPI "Tiramisu For Two" shade. I absolutely love it and it literally lasted one whole week without chipping. I painted a white leaf design on it, looked gorgeous with the beige shade. Thank you for posting so I can see what other beige shades to buy!

[@samz5627]

I so look forward to your uploads! I'd be really interested in a favorite dupes for discontinued polishes video!

[@theresagrave7690]

Omg you’re the best! Thank you for the screen grabs at the end of most of your videos...they’re such a great reference!

[@katkopinski]

Hey Kelli! Loved the video-- some of these are perfect for the office and when I want a break from glitters... I'm so jealous of your polish collection! Have you ever thought of making a video on the rarest bottles you have? Discontinued shades/brands (any maybe some dupes for them)?

[@saranovaa]

So satisfied with this video, what a great end to the week

[@juliaridley75]

I just got ILNP Quicksand this week, which has instantly become my favorite nude polish! The base is a cool taupe but it reflects a warm red/gold shimmer and it is stunning.

[@lisathomson3057]

Wow it’s sounds amazing.

[@cat_623]

I tried to do my Thanksgiving feast menu planning while watching, but quickly had to abandon that due to the beauty of your swatches. I just couldn't miss even one polish shade. I kept trying to decide if I prefer the softer, understated colors or the ones with a little sparkly interest. Impossible decision for any nail polish addict. Thanks for all your content, Kelli -- you're really helping so many of us get through this pandemic. And Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate!!

[@ThatTeal]

I love neutral and n*@es!! They just do something magical to my soul that I shed a tear. And yes, they can have flakes and holos!. My favorite is taupe color holos. I love all color but neutrals speak to my soul. I love that this a major swatch fest. THANK YOU Kelli.

[@amyschoeppich]

Yessss...so excited for this video. I’m not normally a fan of nude polishes but I’m hoping to get some inspiration.

[@kelanne33]

I would love to see a video of your favorite manicure tools! Like what brand of acetone, nail files, etc. Maybe this is already a video somewhere? Lol

[@debtutterow7887]

Yes me too

[@luvtinamc]

I've been in love with Orly's Canyon Clay since it came out. I should've ordered two! Love all of these! I'm gonna go paint my nails a nudey color now :)

[@otakuautumn5128]

While I can’t say I’m a big nude polish kinda person I do love favorite videos!! Love seeing some of that Cuccio line here cause that collection is only the third full collection I have ever bought in my life! I’m here for 42 polish fave vids, how far you’ve come from just 10-12 colors!

[@jiaraja7686]

A really good video. Such a wide collection of colors for every skin tone. Plus sparkle edition too.

[@zibbyzoo4379]

OK, next "favorites" idea - favorite polishes of yours that you've purchased yourself OR favorite Indie polishes!

[@donnawirtz7407]

⁰qed ùùl

[@EliseLogan]

Emilia from Zoya is my go-to brown cream polish. It's a really perfect tone for me and the formula levels beautifully.

[@evayaaasantewaa448]

Truly enjoyable. So many pretty options.

[@jessicawang6558]

When you do future polish reviews/favorite videos, could you also talk about how long the last? When I choose polish, I actually care about the formula more than the color, I’m not sure if I’m the only one!

[@KelliMarissa]

Hey Jessica! I'd honestly love to include this info but I don't for a couple of reasons - one being that I don't really wear polishes for more than a couple of days because I'm constantly swatching for this channel haha, and the other being that everyone's body chemistry is different with polish! I know that some brands that don't last on me (like Zoya doesn't stay on for a week) can stay on for weeks for someone else (my mom wears Zoya for two weeks at a time with no chips!)

[@angieelliott8741]

I change my manicures quite frequently, but when I can't, i've noticed that zoya, loud lacquer, and orly stay on quite well I always use a dehydrator (cuccio), a strengthener ( dry and brittle nails from opi), base coat (orly bonder), 2 coats of color, sometimes 3. Then I've been loving the "out the door" topcoat (BIG AF bottle for $15 from sally beauty) it dries all my layers enough to go to bed within an hour of doing my nails.

[@cassybucceri276]

You left out bubble bath from OPI it's my favorite for like as a natural or what I like to do is paired with a leopard print nail art

[@janetcannonteacher]

To help smooth pearlized finishes, I use a super thin top coat almost to the point of overworking the polish. Works well for me.

[@doroparker1702]

Oh, thank you for this great idea. I got one favourite polish in grey-pink- shimmer and I tried to make it work by adding thinner. It is at least 10 years old I guess and there is no colour like this. Next time I just use thin topcoat.

[@madelynn1026]

Wow, such an awesome review! I especially love the final screen shot of all the swatches; so very helpful! Kelli you are amazing for having done this review!!! Truly appreciated

[@meowchiip]

the bronzey, toffee colors are divine

[@gail4077]

Have you done favorite Christmas polishes? Or favorite polishes for nail art? I know not all polishes are ideal for nail art. Would love to see your holiday faves.

[@bleeka325]

The entire twilight cast of vampires can reference part two and it would be accurate 😂

This is definitely one of the most satisfying videos in a long time. And I don't really even know why... Just loved every minute (= polish) of it! 🥰🥰

[@adedoyinayomide6763]

From your descriptions, I learned that I actually like copper glitter in my polishes. Can't believe I never noticed that about the glitters and shimmers I lean towards 😅

[@rachelweisz861]

Omg looooved your video!!! I think my favorites are OPI fall-ing for Milan and China glaze Send Hues! Might ask for them for Hanukkah haha 😉

[@sweetshay6172]

Love the brown colors and you make polishing nails look easy.

[@magenta4443]

I'm wearing OPI Be There in a Prosecco and am loving it. Also L-O-V-E OPI Don't Bassa Nova Me Around.

[@ashleyhart3205]

I love shimmers! Thank you so much for including them!!

[@TechieTexan]

I was looking forward to this because nude polish is my jam. I tend to gravitate towards light nude with pinky undertones. My favorite is OPI Bubble Bath.

[@simple_naildesigns]

That’s a great one 🥰💖

[@TheRVRD]

Orly Gilded Glow is my must have

[@playrewindff]

ORLYs are fantastic. I have them for years and it's almost like the bottles never run out. The formula doesn't change over time either. Incredible

[@XxarnyxXx]

This is the most comprehensive guide!

[@marycameron7598]

I've been really enjoying your swatch videos, you do a great job. I've especially been enjoying the winter/holiday swatches. There seem to be a lot of silver glitters this year. I'd love to see you do a comparison.

[@leebahbrowning]

Really appreciate this video! But girl! Your makeup is so flawless and you look extra beautiful in this video! Really enjoy your content :)

[@PuffleFuzz]

My favorite is Spencer. My cat named Spencer’s fur looks like the nail polish and I’m in love.

[@theresazubia]

I just happened to be wearing Zoya's Emilia as we speak! I love Zoya's browns: Nyssa, Tasha, Dea, Kalista, Flynn, and Louise are some of my favorites.

[@KelliMarissa]

They just have too many good brown polishes haha it's hard to narrow it down!!

[@dianamary6170]

I really like nude nail polishes. I lean towards the medium browns even though I have very light olive skin. As for the sparkly nude polishes on your list - wow! I think it would be so awesome to wrangle all of them up and give them as a gift to someone or you know, to myself. 😋 Gorgeous polishes!!! tfs! 💅🏽💞🌸

[@stephentuthill4598]

Thank you for another great video; here's a question, how do you go about finding the correct Nude for your skin tone?

[@doroparker1702]

This video is so important. 💕 I always come back to nudes after having red, blue, grey, purple nails and nailart. When I started doing shellac to strengthen my natural nail I had one nude only. Now it is three nudes in shellac plus the regular polish nudes. I like better to take my nail undertone for polish instead of skin undertone. My nails got some purple tone. So I had to pimp my boring beige shellac. Put some drops of violet shellac into the beige shellac plus some drops of pink with shimmer. It looks perfect now.

[@chezamoonangelaiemma497]

I love nude polishes pretty and classic colors are great to give myself a break from colorful bold colors. Love your selections as always 😍

[@showmustgoon5311]

I don’t like how nudes look on me (that is anything close to my skin tone) but those chocolate browns look so good! Kelli I like your vibe. Very chill and friendly.

[@melissapeirson7000]

Nude and brown are my favourites! I have added a couple to my wish list for sure. Another great video, thanks!

[@Elizabeth-uu5tv]

Great video as always! My perfect nude is Whole Latte Fun by China Glaze. I collect shoes , specifically sneakers. It's an expensive habit and with the pandemic I don't have the opportunity to wear them much which is a bummer.

[@annukkanurmi6795]

My oldies but goodies in this category are Orly Nite Owl and China Glaze Ingrid. The third would be the "designer baggage", but that one you mentioned and it made me smile widely :D I love this series.

[@Punchbuggyy]

My favorites are the Zoya Satin collection. I love the finish and the muted colors and I wish they'd make more of them.

[@corinnaandreas68]

Tolles Video super schöne Nagellacke love it 😍

[@kbabervc12]

Field Fox by CNS is my all-time favorite nude, it has pinky purplely untertones but also brown and grey gorgeous in all lights.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I don't have that one!!

[@ShaunaJ24]

Looooved that you did all the shades from beige to chocolate, thank you!!! I was looking for the perfect 'nude' tone and this was amazingly helpful! 😍 Though now I'll probably end up buying like four different colors instead of just 1 or 2 😅.

[@catsreadbooks9359]

Well, I immediate bought Send Hues. I'm trying not to buy more but some of those dark chocolately colors are really calling to me.
