What makes mismatch to match different from other neutral polishes?

Mismatch to match skews deeper and warmer than common beige neutrals, offering raisin and brown undertones that read elegant on many skin tones. The cream finish gives a polished, glossy look without shimmer or glitter, making it versatile for both everyday and dressed-up looks.

• Glossy cream finish for a smooth, salon-like shine
• Designed to complement contrasting colors from the Odd Squad line

How do I apply it for a salon-quality result at home?

Apply to clean, dry nails using the included easy-glide brush; two thin coats typically give full, streak-free coverage. Allow each coat to dry a few minutes, and finish with a top coat for extra shine and wear.

• Start with base coat to protect nails and extend wear
• Use the wide, flat brush to cover each nail in 1–2 strokes
• Finish with top coat and quick-dry drops if desired

• Vegan formulation with zero animal ingredients
• No compromise on coverage or gloss compared to non-vegan formulas

• Works as a neutral foundation for polished, everyday looks
• Coordinates with seasonal wardrobes from fall to winter
