Greige is Good

Long loved by interior designers, the color greige – a blend of gray and beige tones – has finally migrated onto the beauty scene thanks to a crop of new earthen-hued nail polishes. Unlike the blues and greens that became ubiquitous this past summer, this polish trend is actually wearable for those of us over the legal drinking age. Taupe, stone and mushroom colored fingertips are a smart new neutral, uniquely managing to be both subtle an edgy at once. Get the look with short, well-manicured nails and two coats of Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Particuliere, a glossy mushroom-taupe color that perfectly nails the trend. $23 www.bergdorfgoodman
