Gray by Gray

September 21, 2010









{Skirt ~ Daisy Fuentes for Kohl's - was a dress (last seen here as a maxi skirt) / Vintage Velour Blazer / Tights ~ Nordstrom (brand) these "swooshed" with every step - very annoying / Booties ~ UrbanOG / Vintage Chain Belt (worn as necklace) / Thrifted Bracelets}


I based my entire outfit around this perfect gray nail polish:


{Gray by Gray ~ Sally Hansen}


I have been looking for a suitable shade of gray nail polish for my skin tone for literally 2 months now.  Thankfully, my search is over!  This "Gray by Gray" has a blue tone, which works much better than the brown-gray tones I have been trying.  The brown/taupe grays seem to blend right in with my fingers, making me look like I have fungus on my nails.  Not pretty. 

I know I have a problem with everything being declared "my favorite" (as my sister always reminds me, lol)... but this is seriously my favorite nail polish at the moment.  The Sally Hansen "Complete Salon Manicure" polish is an ingenious one-step formula.  It goes on smooth... 2 coats give the best coverage and the wide brush is the best part.  I am in LOVE!

And even better, Rite Aid Pharmacy is having a {buy one, get one free} sale on all Sally Hansen nail polishes right now. 

...and of course, I had to stock up. :)

  2. Love the outfit as always (smile) and my gray tights from Target, that I wore in my last blog post didn't give me the swoosh action at all. Give them a try. You are a bad chica!!

  4. Some girls build outfits around shoes, then there are those that build em around a nail polish! Love it! haha that's a super cute color. I actually peeked at it last week, but I put it back cause I wasn't sure about it and if I didn't love it, I'd be mad I spent money that I should be saving on it. *sigh* but maybe I can catch that sell you're talking about!!
