So… neutral nails are still HUGE this season and I have to say that they are my favourite tones of nail varnish to wear, which is probably why I have SO many different variations of colours. When Chanel first brought out 505 I wanted to try it so badly (and still do) but it went out of stock so quickly! Since I was desperate to try the ‘Mud’ trend I went on a search for the perfect neutral nail. And just look at the gems I found.
Good old Barry M in ‘Grey’ and ‘Mushroom’ I wear Mushroom ALOT! I think its great and I hear that it is one of the closest dupes for the Chanel 505! A complete bargain at £2.95 each!
Another favourite of mine is ‘Nude Beige’ by Models Own. I love this colour! It has slightly more violet tone to it than any of the other colours I own and I love it! Probably the second most worn Neutral nail varnish in my collection.
This nail varnish was all over the catwalks and in SO many magazines that I couldn't resist trying it out for myself. I really like the colour but I don't really like the consistency of the product, Its pretty gloopy, takes AGES to dry and smudges pretty easily, but if I have enough time to apply this polish I do but its not the most reached for in my collection just because its pretty hard work to use.

‘Camel’ is the only nail varnish that I own from China Glaze and I was so impressed with how fast it dries! more of a golden colour than the rest of the neutrals but still a really pretty colour! I need to purchase more China Glaze!

My most recent ‘Mud’ purchases were from GOSH and I have been wearing ‘Miss Sweety’ LOADS since buying it! a lovely peach nude colour. I also LOVE ‘Miss Mole’ too! such amazing colours I cant believe i have never bought GOSH nail products before but I will defiantly be buying more in the future!

I now have so many to choose from that I cant seem to justify paying £16 for the Chanel 505 at the moment but I still desperately want to try it because as you have probably noticed I am pretty obsessed with all of these neutral colours!
