Grey is the New Black

       Black is chic, right? We wear black smokey eyes to look sexy, black lined cat-eyes to be sassy. We wear black from head-to-toe to look sleek and skinny. We paint on black nail polish in trendy rebellion from our years of "ballet pink" fingers with french tips. 

Black. Black. Black. Black. Black.

       You know what? As far as I'm concerned, grey is the new black. Quote me on it. I'm switching teams and I'm starting with my nails. The switch wasn't hard from black, because black to me has always been a color only meant to appear on nails during Halloween or if you chose to dedicate your life to a gothic lifestyle. Black outfits are chic, black nails are eek.

       A dark shade that nails desire goes by the name of Metro Chic. It's a smokey purple, and although its picture implies that purple reigns, the translation to your nails is something else. 

      It's a color straight out of a smoke stack with barely a hint of purple. The color is unique and draws attentions to short, well manicured nails. It's so much fresher than the black that's been staining our nails for the past three years. Let's face it, it's time to break from the pack and give your digits the coloring they deserve. 


Smokey eyes are out, smokey nails are in.
