Get Anne Hathaway's Oscars Nail Polish Look for Less

Posted by
Dianna Baros
Nude nails, from peachy to putty, are definitely a big nail polish trend for Spring 2011.

Anne Hathaway got a head start on this perennial classic, donning Deborah Lippmann's "Naked" clean bare beige polish for the Oscars. Matched all 8 outfit changes beautifully!





Compelled as I often am by random nail polish shades that I see on celebs, I mustered up the courage to check out the discount beauty store that's in the same strip mall as the grocery store where I usually do my shopping, and I lucked out with an amazing nude polish called Taupe Extreme by Nicka K. Cosmetics (toluene, formaldehyde and DBP free, too!). Cost: $1.00! Check it out:





As much as I love brights, I can see myself falling in love with this nude polish over and over again. Two coats and I was done. Love that it's not sheer.

Are you feeling spring's nude nail polish trend?

Hi, where did you buy the polish from? I checked the site, but there doesn't seem to be a way to buy online.

Thanks BB. My search for the perfect nude shade of polish is eternal - this is a great pick. I'm with you - bright shades are exciting and fun but the right nude shade (that may last a week) goes with everything and looks polished. amazing how many shades there are and how different they look on your nails. This one is a keeper!

I bought it at a store called Discount Beauty Supply, I'm not sure if this chain is everywhere - you could try Sally Beauty Supply stores too. The Nicka K Cosmetics website isn't very helpful, but you could try filling out their contact form:
