Recommendations for a Particular Nail Color

AngelPuppy1 — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 11:36:12 GMT

I would like to have a very, very pale, shell pink pearl nail color. I don't want any sparkly flakes in it but I do want it to be very frosted and pearly looking and I want it to be very, very pale pink -- sort of like the color of the inside of a beautiful shell found on a beach! Many years ago when I was a young girl -- probably only like 12 or 13, I had a bottle of polish that my mother got me from Avon and I used it until it was totally gone. I have no idea what the name of it was and, of course, I'm sure that doesn't exist any more.

I have been scouring stores and on-line (the colors are hard to tell) and so far, not finding what I am thinking off. Most are either too sparkly, the pink is too dark, or the pink is a creme, which I don't want.

Any recommendatiions? Thank you so much.

@AngelPuppy1 I think you might like Londontown. They have just what your looking for . They are called nail veil. All different shades very light.

Sally Hansen® (drug/grocery stores) has many shades in that category...The one below is "nude"...but it presents as a dusty pink. (I use it)

I'm going to be of absolutely no help to you, but I just had to post in response because you reminded me of a nail polish color that I used back in the sixties when I was in high school, that matches your description.

It was Revlon Coconut Bisque. I loved it so much, I used no other colors. I bought bottle and bottle of this, for I can't remember how long. Obviously, as you can tell, I've never forgotten it.

You would think living an additional 60 some years, I would have found something identical, but I never have.

Maybe, if I saw it today, I would think it wasn't anything so special.

I like Essie Sugar Daddy or Birthday Girl. Pale pink, shimmer, frosted, no sparkly flakes.

@SilleeMee, Dream Scene is gorgeous.

@AngelPuppy1 , do you go on etsy? You can get customized polish there, and I'm not sure where else. Also, if you go on YouTube there's ladies who do polish and you can ask them for recommendations.

I've been out of the loop for a while so I can't think of any right off. Another option is a pale pink with a topper.

I'm not sure if this is even in the ballpark of what you're looking for:

The Color That Keeps On Giving by OPI

@AngelPuppy1

The PERFECT Color you are exactly looking for is by Avon (*VERY* Discontinued). But there's like 2-3 left on ebay. (I've bought the rest heh) In fact, I'm shocked that these 2-3 are left. I've combed ebay for ALL of them, (even from Overseas)!

it' GORGEOUS! (pics below of 1 Coat, 2 Coats 3 Coats)

I've spend beaucoup $$$ trying to find an alternative, incl many many many OPI, etc & NOTHING comes even close.

If I have to, I'll have to composite my own "Dazzle Pink" wannabe.

It's Avon "Gel "Finish" (Regular Nail Polish ) named "DAZZLE PINK"

(Says "Gel" but doesnt need a UV light. It's virtually, a strong, non chipping, regular nail polish)

I've worn it for YEARS, its gorgeous, everythihng you've described.

Each coats of course gets darker, but still a sheen, light ballerina pink.

One coat & it looks like a 'nude with personality." Makes my fingers look longer, almost the color of pink flesh.

2nd coat, pearl-ier, little pinker, 3rd coat, quite pink, ALL with shine.

I've wearing 3 coats now. Abt every 3-5 days, I put on another coat, first 1, then 2, then 3. And a favorite clear, near daily to keep it fresh looking & stronger nail.

Pics of Avon's DAZZLE PINK bottle display darker & less sheen, than 1 coat, and less pink than the real color

If it helps, I can post pics & revuews of the wannabe's I've been buying & buying that FAILED my own "Dazzle Pink" criteria.

GOOD LUCK.

ONE COAT (below) Avon "Dazzle Pink"

2- 3 Coats (below)

3 Coats "Dazzle Pink" (below)

@SnowOwl79

Thank you for this color & sheen. It's perfect for those difficult to find all those attributes, & I hadnt tried this color yet, but many, many others that didnt fit the bill. I dont know where it was hidden.

I can use this, for its perfect attributes, & add some more pink to it. cause my Discontinued, Avon "Dazzle Pink" is getting darn near impossible to find anymore, WORLDWIDE even!!. Discontinued Worldwide. WHO DOES THAT? heh

I see 2 "Dazzle Pink" left on ebay that I'm holding back from buying, giving @AngelPuppy1 a chance to buy the LAST (2) Avon "Dazzle Pink" In case she wants these, esp since she asked for it, * I highly recommend it.

THANKS!!

Soft pinks are the most difficult to find for me! I probably have 10-15 bottles of various brands. They're usually too sheer, even with 3 coats. I usually end up putting one coat of OPI Funny Bunny on, which is a sheer white. Then top it with OPI Bubble Batch (sheer pink).

I'm getting myself in trouble here.

I like y'all's colors above, so I'm looking for them on Amz, to purchase them

So far, havent found them on Amz.

But in the meantime, I'm seeing other additional nail polish colors that I *must* have also, & putting them in my cart, even before finding y'all's recommendations I want to purchase!

@JoyFilled Warrior , oh gosh, I want every color I see and it's really difficult to restrain myself, hehe. But I'm doing well right now and can't wait to build my collection again.

One of my favorite pale pinks is OPI "Play the Peonies"

@blueroses47

I totally get it! I felt that way about an eye shadow I used to wear back when I was in my late 20's and early 30's. It was so pretty that it was all I ever wore. Now, I probably wouldn't think it was so great but then, I thought it was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Maybe someday we will both find our perfect products - it will just happen when we least expect it!
