Cappuccino

The pigment in this creme is seriously impressive—one coat was almost enough, though I did a second for that perfectly opaque soft tan look. It glides on smooth without dragging or pooling at my cuticles, and the finish has that polished, creamy depth I usually only get from gel.

Two coats and my nails looked like I'd dipped them in warm latte foam—the soft tan is exactly what's in the photo. It dried to that smooth, creamy flat finish without any streaking, which I always worry about with lighter shades.

This shade is the perfect soft tan, and the creme finish went on so smooth it surprised me. I got full coverage in just one careful coat, which is rare for a lighter color like this.
