Cheeky Monkey No Bra

Reader request here!  Ericka wanted to see what Cheeky Monkey No Bra was like.  Cheeky's website lists No Bra as a light neutral beige creme and that's pretty accurate.  I found the color to be a little lighter and more yellow brown than the online bottle but still pretty spot on.  Great neutral color for the office but I did find it a little too close to my skin tone.


I used a base of Cheeky Monkey Wet Dream, 3 coats of No Bra and a top coat of Seche Vite.  The formula on this color was nice - not too streaky or thick.

Here in the sun, you can see that it's a nice shiny color when the Seche Vite it added and just an overall nice beige.

Two different shade pictures next.  The first was under my porch, the second was more of an indirect sun.  I'm not sure I could rock this color on nubbins as well as it looked on long nails.  Nice color overall.  Hope this helps Ericka and all my readers!


Cheeky Monkey can be purchased on their website [official website] for $15 a bottle.
