The Nail Polish Everyone Asks Me About
A simple and sophisticated favorite and the perfect stocking stuffer
BEAUTY
When a polish gets as many “What color is that?” questions as this one does, you know it is something special. It has become the shade I reach for more than anything else and it also happens to be the perfect little stocking stuffer and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves an easy, polished look.

The polish is LONDONTOWN Extra Ordinary Illuminating Nail Concealer and it has been my year round favorite for a long time. I wear the Original shade and it always looks fresh and bright, and it gives the kind of clean, effortless finish that works for any outfit or occasion. The price is very reasonable, and I have noticed that it is often on sale when I shop for it online, which makes it even easier to pick up an extra or add one to a gift.
What Makes This Polish Special
The finish has a soft, luminous quality that brightens your natural nails without covering them completely. It gives a healthy, cared for look that feels simple and sophisticated. The Original shade is one of those colors that looks good on everyone and instantly makes your hands look neat.
The Application Is Fool Proof
One coat and two coats.
I typically wear one coat because it gives the perfect sheer, healthy looking finish. Two coats offer a little more brightness while still looking natural if you prefer a slightly fuller look. Before applying, make sure to shake the bottle well. The formula needs a thorough shake the first time you use it so everything blends together. If it seems watery, it simply needs another shake.
The polish dries quickly and the formula levels itself as it settles which makes it easy to apply even if you are not confident with painting your nails.
A Shade That Works For Everyone
The Original shade is a translucent, milky veil that lets your natural nail show through. It gives a soft glow that feels clean and modern. It is the kind of shade you can wear every day because it works with every skin tone and every style.
Why It Makes a Great Gift
This polish has become one of my favorite little gifts to give because it fits perfectly into stockings and small holiday bags. It feels thoughtful without being complicated and it is something people genuinely use. I also love the packaging. The bottle comes in a pretty, simple box which makes it look even more polished when you are giving it as a gift. I have shared it with friends and family, and everyone has loved it.
How I Use It
One coat is usually all I need for a bright, clean look. When I want a little extra coverage, I add a second coat. Sometimes I finish with a clear top coat and the one I use the most is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Invisible Nail Polish. I have tried pricier top coats, but many of them feel thick or sticky. This one stays smooth and light and gives a fresh, glossy finish without any heaviness.
Why It Stays in My Routine
This polish has become a constant in my beauty bag because it keeps my nails looking neat with very little effort. It is also a great travel choice because touch ups are simple. I bring a couple of Cutex Nail Polish Remover Pads, and I can refresh my nails in just a few minutes. I reach for LONDONTOWN Extra Ordinary Illuminating Nail Concealer (Original shade) again and again because it always gives a clean, polished look with almost no effort.
