Help me find a nail polish colour!

Post by Bomber » Sat Mar 12, 2011 4:37 pm

I am looking for a dupe of the nail polish colour used on Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club, as shown in this screencap here. It is a neutral brownish pink sort of colour with no shimmer. I need something I can get at least off the internet in the UK, and I really do not want a shimmer. All the OPI shades I've looked at seem to be either too pink or have shimmer in.

Sunset sail - China Glaze springs to my mind.

ETA; On seconds thought it's not pink. Sorry

mm yeah, all the colours I can find are either too brown or too pink, it's infuriating.

I can't see the image to make any recommendations, it comes up as a 404 for me.

In some pictures the OPI looks about right, in others it looks very pale. Bourjois So Beige looks the nearest so far, thank you!

Perhaps this would be helpful?

I'm not sure if that brand is available in the UK, though.

I think I'm literally wearing the right colour now!

Models Own - Nude Beige.

Though I think it would look closer without flash..
