While in New York this past week I received several compliments on my grey-brown hued nail varnish (at top). Rarely one to stray from light pinks or red, I had gone out on a limb and snatched up a bottle of “mouse” from American Apparel. The best part? A week has past and still hasn’t chipped! Now that it’s received the neo-trad stamp of approval I can’t wait to invest in more colors.
What nail varnishes are your favorites? I’m always looking for new brands/hues!
Love all three of those colors, but I’ve never tried American Apparel nail polish…will have to!;)
OPI is my personal favorite because they last soooo long, and there’s about every color imaginable!
My favorite brand of nail polish is Essie. My favorite Essie colors are: Geranium (perfect for the summer), Wicked, and Chinchilly (gray hue). Right now thought I am loving Chanel’s new color “Steel”. Its like a metallic gray and its perfect for the holiday season!

Anjela — I loooove OPI’s Kennebunkport. My best friend introduced me back in high school and it’s been my go-to shade ever since : )
Giselle — Essie is wonderful too! I haven’t tried any of these colors though?! Must track them down!
I have this super bright hue of hot pink from Essie that was sold at J Crew that I love!!! It is a matte as well so it is super fun. I also love the Sally Hansen “Wet Cement” that I got. you can see the pink on my website: http://www.wix.com/rachelbrady/rachel_brady

I love OPI in “My Chihuahua Bites.”
I am wearing Mouse right now as well! Although mine chipped within 24 hours and I had to touch up today! Even with my essie top coat! What is your secret?
I only wear very light colors on my hands due to both chipping and the fact that I find it distracting – but I LOVE color on my toes. My current favorites for fall/winter are both Essie – Jazz and Mink Muffs. They are both in the taupe family, the second being darker.Get tons of compliments in shoe departments – only place people see my toes now!
I love OPI “over the taupe” and “you don’t know jacque” but just bought Essie “chinchilly” looking for the perfect grey…like a grey cashmere sweater. I was hoping you’d post your color!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve addicted to my Rimmel London grey nailpolish… it’s a nice wintery look and a departure from my usual pinks too!
I’ve never tried American Apparel polish, but one of my friends is obsessed with it. I love Chanel & OPI polishes the best.
I just painted mine American Apparel Factory Gray and it is GORGEOUS!! The mouse looks a little funny with my Italian/Portuguese skin tone….but the Factory Gray looks great :)
I think I might check out the Chanel Steel. Sounds very pretty.
