Grey cloud


Hi everyone! For this post a grey cloud mani to match with today's weather. On my accent nail I used China Glaze Recyle, a black creme and between those China Glaze Concrete Catwalk, which is what I'm wearing on the rest of my nails too. It's the best grey creme I've got. Just two smooth coats for an even, glossy finish. ♥

 I don't wear greys on their own very often, usually I just need some color to go with it. You know, to brighten things up. However, I think today's mani is cute in all its greyness :) Do you wear greys a lot?

    Very pretty! I'm going to work on a gradient this weekend and I was thinking about using white to black - this gave me a good idea. :)

    I don't wear greys enough-- maybe I'll bust out Recycle soon to fix that:) I always love your cloud manicures, they always look so clean and crisp!

    How do you get done so neat and precise polish? I mean for example nails half moon area, you dont have polish in there at all! And so beautiful polishes everytime!

    YAY! I am really looking forward to the tutorial! I am following you on blogside, so hopefully I will see it really soon! Your blog also has totally inspired me to make my own, it's starting out slowly, because my skills are not up to par as yours, but hopefully one day, I can be as good as you! Thanks for all your beautiful nail designs.

    Beautiful! I use greys way too rarely. Should just decide "today I'm making a monochromatic look" - but always the colored bottles call out more when actually starting the manicure...

    Now I'll file this under inspiration so the thought won't slip my mind :)
