Is Gray Nail Polish Here to Stay?

We’ve seen gunmetal gray nail polish last fall and all throughout spring this year. As gray is a big color for clothing and accessories this fall, its ubiquitousness on nails may be here to stay – at least for this season. Gray is not a color that one would naturally gravitate to for nail color. There’s the danger of making your skin look ashen and lifeless, like a corpse. So it’s best to test the nail color first to make sure it won’t look flat on your skin. Gray also looks best with this fall’s other big colors, berry and purple, so pair them up with your clothing and accessories. As with black and dark blue nail polish, make sure your nails are short and chic when wearing gray nail polish. A few of my favorites, pictured above, from left to right: OPI “You Don’t Know Jacques”, OPI “My Private Jet”, Lippmann Collection “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and YSL “Tuxedo Gray”.

Will you color your nails gray this fall?
