It seems as though there are quite a few people still mourning the death of Chanel’s black satin nail polish, which is evident in the fact that a new neutral tone seems to be just as in demand this summer as LA Sunrise:

Gray nail polish.

It’s definitely not the vibrant orange color women have been leaving their manicurists wearing or as London Times writer Lisa Armstrong says, “It looks downright unhealthy, like a body gently rotting from within.”

True.

And yet, that never kept any of us away from an even more morbid black nail stain. My favorite type comes courtesy of Lippmmans — whom created the gunmetal polish with 80s icon Pat Benatar.
