I actually came across this sort of accidentally. See, I was removing some dark red nail polish from my fingernails, and it left behind this really awesome pinkish hue. No, I did not use a base coat, and yes, I do realize the pinkish hue was a stain. But this got me thinking...I would pay for this look. I had no idea if I could replicate it, and it was a little uneven so I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if there was a nail polish that could give me the same effect?!" Turns out, there is. It's Essie's Pink Glove Service. I ordered it a couple days ago, received it today, and put it on. My nails are adorable. They look so natural and feminine! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a classic, elegant look for their natural nails. :)
