Grey nail polish is becoming such a favorite by women who desire an edgy look to their nails. Time was when the most popular nail polish colors are red, all shades of red and pink. Then vivid colors such as orange, yellow, blue and green became very popular. Black nails also become very popular with more daring women who go for cutting edge fashion, but some women find black too radical.

With the advent of grey nail polish, the middle ground between the edgy black and other vivid colors, women who are intrepid but not that brave for black already have an alternative that they can try. Grey is subtler than black but it presents the same unusual yet striking quality as black. Grey nail polish comes in a wide variety of shades to choose from such as soft dove grey, deep grey, granite grey, heather grey and slate grey and they come in all kinds of finish such as glossy and matte.. Both black and grey nail polish has a gothic vibe to them and a sure favorite of the Goths. Grey nail polish like black is best worn on short nails but with the Goths, the longer, the better.

The best way to set off grey nail polish is to wear colorful and big rings on your fingers. This will surely draw attention to your hands and nails. Grey nail polish may be softer than black but it is as edgy as black, and as sophisticated as black. And the beauty of grey nail polish is that it is a neutral color that is great for any skin tone.
