Best gray nails! Sharing some of the most popular gray nail designs and ideas that you’ll love during these cold months.
As winter has quickly arrived, you will want to experiment with some stylish winter nail designs. There are tons of nail design options, from classy black nails to burgundy and gold combinations to emerald green for Christmas, but gray is one sophisticated color that we simply cannot ignore.
Gray is a beautiful color that goes well with pretty much everything. It is also one of my favorite manicures because it’s both understated and classy. Although it can be worn at any time and for any occasion, I believe the winter is the best time to wear it, just like black French-tip nails.
If you’d like to try these chic, neutral nail polishes and learn how to wear them this season, check out 55+ beautiful gray nail designs and ideas that are anything but basic.
