Hello! Today I'm back to share half of the new Beau Polish Skinny-Dip Collection with you. The Skinny-Dip Collection consists of 12 nude and neutral shades, perfect for those work appropriate mani, or if you're like me, perfect as a base for nail art. Read on for my swatches, more info, and a bit of nail art!

As always, I'll quickly address the formula here before jumping into the individual swatches. Beau cremes are lovely to apply, they have such a smooth, creamy formula. I find that they self level well and dry down nicely. The cremes in this collection do vary between two and three coaters, so I'll mention that for each one below. I've also posted a quick reel of the six polishes over on my Instagram here.
'Nakey Bakey' is a soft peachy nude creme. If you aren't fussy (like me!), this would be fine in two coats. I added a third to even out some minor streaks. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Pigment of my Imagination' is a grey creme. This is one that borders between a two and a three coater. I applied three to be sure I had a completely even coverage. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Viol-aint That Something' is a grey neutral creme with a touch of purple. I added a quick third coat on a few nails for some minor streaks, but again you could easily leave it at two. Below is three coats with topcoat.

Now for a bit of nail art!
First up, I couldn't resist pairing 'Nakey Bakey' and 'Let's Call It Quartz' together for a gradient. I then stamped some balloons for a party themed manicure using UberChic Beauty plate Party Time. I had a lot of birthday parties and events the week I wore this manicure, so it was the perfect combination.

Next, I went for a bit of simple but effective double stamping. I stamped pink and purple chevrons over 'Pigment of my Imagination' using an image from the UberChic Beauty Got Chevron? plate. I loved the pop of bright colour over the soft neutral base.

Next is a fall appropriate mani - browns always scream autumn to me so I couldn't resist. I stamped over 'Chest-nut on My Watch' using a cute pattern from UberChic Beauty plate 8-01 and the 'nuts for fall' wording from Lina Nail Art Supplies plate 4 Seasons - Autumn 02.

Last up, I couldn't resist these cute little bumble bees from UberChic Beauty plate 5-01. I popped them over a base of 'Viol-aint That Something'.

What do you think? Are you a more of a subtle nude/neutral person, or a bright colourful nail art person? These are so versatile and perfect for both. I'm always impressed with the formula of Beau Polishes, so I'd definitely recommend giving them a go if you haven't already.
You can find the full Skinny-Dip Collection on the Beau Polish website here.
