I enjoy getting a manicure that looks like it costs a lot of money. As a beauty editor, I’ve spent most of my career working out how to make our nails seem as stylish and trendy as possible. It turns out you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have that salon-quality look. For me, it’s important about maintaining your nails healthy and picking colors that you know will make you look better right away. There is one color that I think looks very pricey when it comes to winter nail trends. I’m talking about nails that are gray.
If you believe grey is uninteresting, I’m here to show you that you’re incorrect. This classic, timeless color always looks wonderful on me and makes my nails look very beautiful. A lot of other people seem to feel the same way, since the hashtag #graynailpolish has more than a million views on TikTok. It will never go out of style, and it will work with anything in your closet. If you don’t want a solid color, there are many interesting ways to use the color in a cool nail design.
I’ve really taken it upon myself to gather my favorite gray nail designs so that you can get all the ideas you need before your next visit. You can get a manicure that looks like it cost a lot of money without leaving the house. I’ve even included my favorite grey nail colors for the winter.
What are you waiting for? Keep scrolling and get ready to make gray your new favorite color.
Grey Nail Inspiration

For something a little bit different, I adore this light grey shade.

So stylish and fun.

Give your gray manicure a chrome touch for the holiday season.

Don’t worry, this color looks great on long nails too.

French tips that are grey and sparkly? Yes, please.

A true classic.

Even gray nail art looks expensive

Choose a blue-toned gray polish for a more summery look.

This season, try mixing and matching your gray manicure with different neutral colors.

How adorable?!

I will be doing this manicure again as soon as I can.

This shiny chrome grey reverse French tip is really stylish.
