While basic black and sparkly pastels have been ruling the manicure universe lately, it looks like greyscale nails are just as desirable for Winter 2017. If you’re aiming for a mani which captures the stormy skies and slushy streets, then grey nails just may be your solution. Taking 50 Shades of Grey to an entirely new level, the latest nail trend involves multiple shades of slate, heather and dove. This season, swap your classic go-to nail polish shade for a hint of grey, and keep in mind that there’s absolutely nothing depressing about this colour.

Greyscale nails are emerging in all forms, from delicately crafted nail art designs to pops of metallic shimmer. While some variations on the trend involve milky grey adorned with skinny stripes of plaid, yet others prove that cool grey tips can work into the evening hours.

If you’re coveting a dose of sparkle, try adorning a single fingernail with sparkly silver grey. Meanwhile, more extravagant and perfectly party-ready takes on the grey nail trend involve pops of gold, bold zig-zag stripes and longer almond talons.

 However you decide to rock the trend, it’s clear that grayscale nails just may be the manicure du jour. From the office to the dance floor, could grey possibly be the new red? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, a touch of pewter just may be a look to get on your fingertips this winter.
