TREND ALERT: Gray Nail Polish for Fall '08

The answer to last fall's black nail craze is GREY nail polish. I've seen grey nails popping up here and there. If you recall, I trended grey polish this summer after seeing it on Rihanna. I tried a dark grey-metallic myself last week but I have dark skin and something about the color combo was off. Therefore I suggest our paler ladies to go for the med-dark grey nail polish like Rescue Beauty's Stormy or OPI Give me the Moon and darker skins to try a pale grey shade like Moon over Mambi by OPI. Lippmann has a very dark grey metallic polish if you dare! I believe Gwen Paltrow is wearing Sephora by OPI, Metro Chic , a smokey gray purplish hue.

TREND WATCH: Fall Nail Colours

Fall is upon us and I personally can’t wait to start wearing this years trends. The best way to kick off the season is by wearing fall nail colors. Rihanna is sporting what is sure to be the replacement to the ‘black nail trend’ of last year; enter metallic gray nail enamel. Runway trends predict lots of golden goddess dresses, purple-haze and grey metallic tailored pieces on store shelves, see Proenza Schouler below. I predict gray metallic (Chanel in Kaleidoscope)and various plum colored nail enamel (see OPI France Collection or Cafe Cuties) will be most popular with cooper/gold tones as the wild card (Chanel Fiction or Cove Cooper by Essie).
