Just One Shade Of Gray


Instead of referencing a movie I'm happily unacquainted with, let's talk about nail polish. Wait. That was basically a reference in itself wasn't it? I'm willing to move past this if you are.

On my nails today is "the thames" by Nails Inc. After putting off doing my nails for months I figured my nail beds deserved only the best. Like I said, they had been bare for MONTHS! Seriously, we are talking over a hundred days. Personally I'm a lover of nudes and neutrals. Don't get me wrong I can have a really amazing fling with a bright neon from time to time, but there's something I find comforting about my standard go-to nail polish color. Call me boring.

When I found the perfect shade of gray I latched on. This color is cool toned so it almost has a bit of blue in certain lights. Does not look muddy or bland at all. I'm actually surprised to see that this gray has some life to it. The formulation is also incredibly easy to work with so if you haven't given Nails Inc. a go I would advise that you do.

What's your go-to polish? I would love an excuse to widen my collection!

If this is something you'd like to see, then I would be more than happy to do these more often!
