Oh Sugar...uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

Oh honey honey... You're totally going to be singing this for the rest of the day!! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Back to sugar, Spun Sugar that is by Nina Ultra Pro (NUP). A lovely little flesh toned number that I'm pretty darn fond of. It's just so sweet!
Just so you know, these pics make it a bit more apricot than it is in real life where it's pretty darn neutral. If it weren't for the shimmer you could almost say it gives the mannequin look. Is it just me or is mannequin one of those words that just looks wrong?
Spun sugar isn't what I'd call sheer, but it probably takes four coats to get a perfectly opaque look. I say probably because this is three coats and looking closely I can see some visible nail line (VLN).
As far as light neutrals go, I'm going to have to put this in my top 5. It's got enough shimmer to keep it from being drab, it works well with my skin tone so no ruddiness or sallowness. It's easy to apply and dried fairly quickly and it has a nice shine without a top coat.
All these things make it very professional and for me a perfect military polish. I recommend it if you're looking for something a bit more toned down.

thanks so much for stopping by and reading. Until next time take care and have fun!
