Grey nail polish - the latest fashion statement

Grey nail polish is the latest in thing along with summer pinks and wintry wines.

From heather to concrete to slate, gray nails have been chic all year long, with stars like Lauren Conrad, Sienna Miller, Jessica Szohr, and Scarlett Johansson seen sporting them.

"Heather gray nails are like your favourite heather gray v-neck: easy to wear but still a little sexy," the New York Daily News quoted Cheryl Kramer Kaye, beauty director of Redbook magazine, as saying.

"It's a neutral enough shade to wear on your fingers, but if you work in a conservative office, you might want to wear it on your toes instead, although to me, while it's kind of edgy, it's not at all vampy," Kaye added.
