Creamy Nail Polish

Frequently asked questions

What is creamy nail polish?

Creamy (or creme) polish is the classic finish: smooth, rich, fully opaque color with no shimmer or glitter - like liquid satin. It's the finish most people picture when they think of nail polish.

How many coats does a creamy polish need?

Most creamy shades reach full coverage in two thin coats. Lighter creams can take a third - thin, even layers always beat one thick coat for smoothness and wear.

Is creamy or shimmer polish better for hiding nail imperfections?

Creamy finishes hide discoloration well but can highlight ridges; if your nails are ridged, use a ridge-filling base coat first for a glass-smooth result.

When is a creamy finish the right choice?

Almost always - it's the most versatile finish for work, events, and everyday wear, and it photographs true to the bottle color.
