product love: gray nails

okay, i don't know if we have ever addressed the serious problem that i have with nail polish. i lalalaLOVE nail polish. i purchase it compulsively. say i'm broke as a joke and i need a pick me up, for as little as 6 dollars i can have a pretty new polish or say i'm just in a funk and i really need a pick me up for 26 dollars you can have a beautiful little chanel box filled with the prettiest nail polish bottle in the world. then i go home, make vegan junk food and watch pride & prejudice or twilight whilest i paint my nails. that's a pretty amazing night. anywho, i digress, the other day i feel in love with a gray polish that i didn't need, so i came home to assess my own collection of gray's... it's small, but powerful... here are my 2 favorite gray polishes, both available at target, budget score!!!

i am currently wearing a sally hansen complete salon effects color commander in chic. not only is the color a brilliant rich purpley-taupey gray, i think it rivals any "fancy salon" brand nail polish. the brush is unbelievably good and the formula goes on very easy, so for 6 bucks this polish is the best value for sure.

i also love me some chinchilly by essie. the color is a little lighter, more of a light bluish-stone gray... almost concrete-ish, but with more depth. i think this is a staple color year round. i love pairing this with coral nails, super chic.

so tell me, what's your favorite gray polish!?!?

you don't know jacques...

so that's not my hand, but what can i say? i'm super lazy. i just put this nail polish on and i just can't figure out if i like it or not. it's a part of opi's new matte collection and it's weird. my polish job is not even close to as nice as the one above. it's difficult to apply because it dries super fast and then looks all lumpy bumpy. i like it, i am just going to have to practice applying it. my fingernails feel like chalkboards and i can't put on hand lotion, so i am leaning towards not for me, but i am going to wear it around for a bit and then make my final decision. interesting.
