Nail art and trending polish colors may come and go, but a nude manicure is the look we find ourselves returning to again and again. A pale pink mani is the “no-makeup look” for hands; it’s chic and natural – easy, but polished.

For us, using a 3, 5, or 7-free polish without dangerous ingredients matters most. Here are our top four picks for non-toxic polishes that nail the perfect shade of pale pink for the ultimate nude manicure…

Côte ‘No. 7’ | Not too sheer; not too opaque, this pale neutral pink gives the ultimate, quick everyday nude mani we’re looking for! Cruelty-free, vegan and free of most major toxins associated with nail polish. CHECK OUT

Ariel Gordon ‘Basic Bitch’ |  If being ‘basic’ means downing a PSL with this 7-free powdery pink nude from jewelry genie, Ariel Gordon, sign us up…. This color goes on quite opaque if you like more coverage.  CHECK OUT

TenOverTen ‘001 Jane’ | This 8-free polish offers a bit more brightness than the traditional nude manicure, but if your fall wardrobe is as neutral as ours, trust us: a little pop of color is the ultimate understated accessory.  CHECK OUT

Deborah Lippmann ‘Before He Cheats’ | Sheer and soft, this formaldehyde, paraben and sulfate-free formula almost looks natural — but so much better.  CHECK OUT
