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!
Anjela says
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!
Giselle says
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 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.
Michelle says
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.
