I avoided this gloss like the plague b/c of the color it looked in the tube. I saw nothing nude about. In the tube it does look like a deep mid tone pink. Depending on what kind of day my lips are having is what decides how much I like this gloss. Sometimes I put it on and it looks amazing..other times just eh. When my lips are primed..glossed and looking plump this gloss comes out a beautiful honey peach shade that I just adore. Its not really a nude, its just natural. On days when my lips are looking a little pale and dry, this gloss just can't help them..it shows up that crappy pink color it looks in the tube. Very wierd, but ones natural lip pigment and coloring definitely determines how much you'll like this color.
