My greige rainbow

I've been collecting greiges since 2011 or 2012; the very beginning is chronicled here, and I talk about what "greige" is here. I just think the combination of purple, tan, and grey is magical: it goes with everything, looks great on anybody, and is a great middle ground between neutral and vampy.

My love affair with greige

My favorite nail shade of all time is GREIGE. There is some dissention by now about what color actually constitutes greige, but to me it is a blend of tan, purple, and grey; you could call it a purple-tinged beige or a warm, rosy grey. It seems to have started "trending" in fall of 2010. No doubt some of this was due to  Lady Gaga, who went through a greige phase around that time, appearing in Vanity Fair decked in the color and also wore it on her nails to the VMAs that year.

   

Three sided greige ~ Nuance Evening Haze

My favorite nail color of all time is GREIGE. There is some dissention by now about what color actually constitutes greige, but to me it is a blend of tan, purple, and grey; you could call it a purple-tinged beige or a warm, rosy grey. I collect greige nail polishes now and am always trying new brands by buying greiges.

This is Nuance Evening Haze; Nuance by Salma Hayek turned up at my local CVS and I couldn't wait to try it, not in small part because there was a greige AND this purple-greige! They retail for around $7 USD. The bottle design is great; I love the flower print on the cap (it goes all the way around).
