Here's an old polish I did ages ago and got too lazy to post at the time.
Base: NYC Bamboo x2 coats
Top: none
In lamp light.
I must have gotten this polish over 10 years ago, but it's still in good condition -- smooth, thin application and very long-lasting. In fact, it's so durable I once banged my polished nails on a locker and the paint on the locker chipped off onto my nails. I was quite surprised. This polish is industrial strength.
Also, back then I didn't really appreciate the benefits of a neutral colour back in my teens, but I do now. Great for work, doesn't look very obvious if it starts chipping a little.
Moral of the story: My perfect nude/neutral polish.
