Kate (by Kanebo) Nail Polish Swatches

These are 400 yen each. The color range is limited but the formula is very nice, creamy and even. It's also a decent-sized bottle so overall a good value for the price. This is my go-to polish when I'm looking to just throw something conservative on for work:

OR-6: 

It shows up on your nail more orange than it looks in the bottle, but is still a very muted, sophisticated hue for something thats on the brighter side. The finish is and very opaque.

BE-19:

This is a beautiful medium-coverage nude pink color which especially suits my warm skin tone. I had to apply 3 coats to achieve opacity, but they all dried relatively quickly leaving a smooth, flawless surface. The picture just doesn't do the formula justice- I didn't even need a top coat! Once again, like with the other polishes in this line, shows up slightly darker/more intense on your nail than it initially looks in the bottle. I think I found my new favorite nude polish...
