I don’t remember the last time I felt inclined to wear a gray nail polish. Actually, I do. It was during a dance recital many moons ago and I decided to test out this gray shade for the day. Colored nail polish was forbidden at my Catholic elementary school so this was a special treat. To my dismay, someone saw my nails and inquired about my health! They said my nails looked “dead and unhealthy.” I explained that it was polish and made my way to closest bottle of nail polish remover.
During last night’s AOL Blogger’s Night Out Bash, guests were treated to — among other things — manicures at the StyleList nail salon. “Gorgeous Gray” seemed to be the nail trend of the evening so years after my gray incident, I decided to try out gray nail polish again.
The popular color – touted as “Gorgeous Gray” – was actually Essie’s “Chinchilly.” It’s described as a granite gray hue. It’s a great gray nail polish because it appears to have a taupe/khaki undertone which makes it an extremely flattering color. I love it and I know Melissa is fawning over her Chinchilly nails too!
I sure am fawning over my Chinchilly nails. You guys know I'm a fan of hot pink and neon orange nails, especially in the summer, but this gray just looks so sexy on my hands. Love, love, love it. Must invest in a bottle of my own!
This color is hot… btw I love you guys site!!!!
