Get your gray on

I finally checked out the new Sephora by OPI line and it was...nice. I mean it's nail polish, so howcomplicated can it get? Well apparently I was in the wrong because the Los Angeles Times devoted almost half a page in Sunday's Image section (really, it's the best part of the paper all week) to the wonder of gray nail polish.

So of course I had to jump on the bandwagon and got a bottle of gray tritely named Metro Chic. I have to say I was pretty grossed out that I paid $11 for a bottle of nail polish, but I was itching to step outside the Sally Hansen box and get something fancy.

I do have to say I love that it's different, and am also quite taken with the subtle gray of it which turns to purple in certain light. It's not as wannabe goth as black which is refreshing as I'll leave that to my teenage years. It of course goes without saying that this should only be worn on short nails, unless of course it's Halloween.
