You know those polishes that look bland or uninteresting in the bottle, but for some reason or another you get a hold of one, and once you try it on you end up surprising yourself by absolutely loving it?
Adorée "Malibu Beach" is definitely one of those polishes for me, and I'm sure this has happened to every nail blogger at some point. I considered it a "boring" polish and only put it on to swatch, but as soon as I had it on my fingertips I couldn't help but love its simple and clean effect. I have absolutely no idea why, as I don't usually wear a lot of nude polishes, but I'm so infatuated with "Malibu Beach" and I feel like you guys are going to think I'm crazy for it.

I don't know! I can't explain it! It's totally "mannequin hands," so work appropriate, so plain and understated but I just love it. I just do.
"Malibu Beach" is truly a jelly version of Eyeko "Nude Polish" and I think we all know how I feel about jellies. (i.e. wholly insatiable craving.)
Adorée polishes are available from Esther's Nail Center for $6. Thank you very much to Thresa for sending me "Malibu Beach" to swatch; I will definitely be wearing this one often.

Peach polishes are normally a questionable color for me but because "Malibu Beach" is so deeply muted it ends up working well with my skintone. I know it's not the most exiting color in the world, and honestly it still looks dull to me in the bottle, and I can't believe I'm even saying this myself, but out of all the Adorée polishes I own this one is totally my favorite.
This is officially my new "palette cleanser" for when I'm feeling completely oversaturated by bright, bold or glitter-heavy shades.

how many coats did you use?
Zara, oh good! You totally get it. :-)
Liana, thanks! I'm glad I am not the only one who likes it!
Danielle, four coats, sorry for not mentioning it. (Jellies have a tendency to require three to four in general.)
i need this in my life
Asami, I am so glad you're back after your moving hiatus. I have had my eye on a great looking nude polish for a couple weeks now and you just convinced me to give it a try! ^_^
Pretty nude colour!
Erika, I never would have thought that I did, but I actually really do! It's a sneaky favorite for sure.
Katie, I hope you love it!
Spaceinvaders, thanks! Sometimes it's nice to just wear something simple. :-)
You have no idea how badly I want this polish now that I've seen it on you, GAH. Why is there absolutely no chance to get Adorée in Germany?? Not nice.
I love this post!! I have a go to nude/peach shade just like this by Sally Hansen called Nude Now. It's amazing and last at least 4 days.
Ah I love that color, it looks a lot like Nonfat Soy Half Caff from Sephora by OPI.
