Nina Ultra Pro typically offers a range of 30-40 colors at a time. They are not releasing new lines every six weeks which means you have the time to really soak in their current shades before moving on to the next new thing.
With Nina, you are not worrying that the last color you tried will immediately be replaced and become obsolete when the new line comes out, you know that some shades will still be in stock because their releases are just less frequent.
In other words, you can soak in the shades with Nina Ultra Pro.
Sometimes the constant new releases can make you feel hurried or rushed to try everything as a nail lover, and it’s safe to say that that feeling really isn’t present with Nina Ultra Pro, which can be a plus if you are more relaxed with your approach to trying new shades.
Nina Ultra Pro carries a couple sheer pinks that look similar to each other in the bottle but wear very differently on the nail.
Pink Frost swatches first below, has a blue overlay shimmer with a pink base, and it is very similar to OPI’s Rosy Future.
In two coats it gives the nail a “done, but not over done” look. It is sexy on the nail and gives your natural nail an ethereal glow.
Powder Puff, swatches second below, is a definite sheer frost nail polish.
It looks almost like a white pearl with a pink cast on the nail in two coats.
Like all frosts, you do see brush lines, so when you apply this shade you really want to pay attention to getting long, even brush strokes - as it will show up on the nail.
This is very much like mowing the grass; when you pay attention to your lines, it just looks cleaner when you’re done, it has a sharpness to it that can be satisfying.
You sometimes see the brush strokes with metallic polishes, but it is almost always true with pearl shades - and you can allow yourself to work with that formula nuance for beautiful results.

Pink Frost is more sheer, meaning you will definitely see more of the nail bed when wearing where Powder Puff is more opaque, and less of the nail bed is visible, though it is still somewhat sheer as you can see above.
