Invogue Taupe Nude Oval Nails

Invogue Taupe Nude Oval Nails is a press-on nail set in a warm taupe nude on an oval tip, the nude with a little grey in it rather than a little pink. That is what makes taupe the nude that stays neutral on a cool skin tone, where a peach or rose nude can turn obvious, and it is why it works as a default rather than as an occasion shade. The oval tip carries the line of the finger on instead of cutting across it, so the hand reads a little longer than it does under a square set in the same shade. The set holds 24 nails in graduated sizes.

Benefits

• The taupe is on the nail already, so there is no base coat to put down and no second coat to wait for.
• A curved tip and a muted nude together make the finger look longer without the set announcing itself as false nails.

How to use

• Try the 24 sizes against your fingers dry, and judge each one on the curve at the base rather than the length at the tip.
• Apply glue to the back of the nail, press for a few seconds, and work from the little finger inwards.
• Push the base of each nail right up to the cuticle, because a gap below a nude shade is the one thing that gives a set away.
• To take a set off, soften the glue in warm soapy water and ease each nail up from the side; never pull one that is still holding.
