in a nutshell:
-I want more pinks in my collection
-I have my eye on a couple from Cracked and ILNP
-I don't live the pinky-nudes I currently have and want to destash some and replace them with pinks I like better
What are your recommendations for pinks i should grt rid of / that would look nice on my skin tone? I'm almost certainly getting rid of Petal Pusher (index finger)!

Polishes are noted in the image. All topped with KBShimmer Clearly On Top
I’m not sure if it would clash with your skin tone but this one from ILNP is one of my favorite nudes

Your middle finger is my favorite on you. Your ring finger isn’t my taste but I think it works with your skin. The rest don’t spark joy in my opinion.
The clear standout for me here is Georgette, which I also own and is probably my favorite nude. I agree with your getting rid of the sally hansen. If you like Georgette, you might try Pink Lady, also from Cirque.
Georgette is so pretty on you! I think it complements your undertones very well!
Georgette if applied in thin layers for a sheer effect works nicely.
Also worth checking out ILNP Sweet Pea, Sandy Baby, Chleo, Birthday Suit, Prancer or Manor House. They have a good return policy btw!
If you’re wanting beige it doesn’t seem like coral-leaning ones works for you (index finger, pinky) maybe more brown beige or taupe would be better.
Georgette for sure! 🙂
Georgette on your ring finger is my favorite of these shades on you!
But if you want a more brown nude, your thumb and ring finger are my fave. They’re pretty close but i think i like the Cracked rooftops in Bologna a little more.
The other two I don’t love on you.
Middle finger “georgette” is amazing. If you imagine it on all 5 it gives a bit of rosy ness to your skin. The others give off mannequin nails, where it may look awkward on all 5 nails.
“Georgette” is my favorite on you. I think “Bologna” or “Bare it all” are fine for mannequin nails (which I enjoy, but I know some people think look weird). The other two Sally Hansens are fine, but not a look that I enjoy.
Georgette is a nice nude pink on you. If you wanted to keep others, I’d say instant coffee, and then bare it all, but georgette is the best fit by far in my opinion. I think for “nudes” you should aim for either muted pinks like georgette, or browns (but avoid beiges). I often find that “nudes” look best when they have enough contrast with the skin, but of course also don’t clash with the skin.
Georgette for sure, and Petal Pusher is pretty nice. I would stay away from the Bologna and Bologna adjacent shades personally.
I agree that Georgette is best of these. I think Essie eternal optimist might look good on you.
Georgette and Bologna depending on mood or what palette you’re going for. Try almond cream shades. Would look great on you. Instant coffee or bare it all looks great on single nails but i doubt it’ll look that good when all nails have that color.
Georgette for suresies!
I don’t think the beige/apricot(ish) nude polishes work as well with your skin’s natural undertone.
mauvey/pinkish nudes are made for you 💅🏼🩷
Middle looks best on you and index finger looks the least harmonic imo
Going against the grain here, but I really like instant coffee!
Based on Georgette, Havana by Static Nails would be amazing on you. Bridges the gap between the pink and yellow
Instant Coffee is the best of what you have on but none of them really hit the spot for me. I would try a few more of Cirque’s nude jellies and layer them till you get the shadethat works for your skin tone.
It’s much easier to tell (for me anyway) with separate pictures for each color, but my vote is Georgette. The rest are too yellow for your skintone.
