Tuesday Trend: Grey Nails

10/16/12 | Manicure, nail polish, Tuesday Trend

I love grey nail polish for fall – it is simple, elegant and matches almost everything!  Ever since the First Lady wore her “light slate” nails at the Democratic National Convention  have been trying to decide what color grey is going to work for me.  (And I love how the White House confirmed that the official shade was Artistic Nail Design’s Vogue). After one month the only one I had crossed off my list was dark grey with sparkles – too much going on. The spectrum of grey nail polish available this fall is so broad that I was getting lost in all of my options, but it turns out I did not even have to decide because when my October Birchbox came I was SOO excited to see Essie’s grey nail polish in Power Clutch!  I immediately grabbed the remover and did a quick polish change and I LOVE it.

What do you think? 
I did not put this assortment together but here is a great range of the greys available this fall!
