Last winter dark and dangerous nails had us tapping into our inner goth. By summer we had lightened up to a trendy shade of grey, and this fall we fell head over heels for minty hues, like Chanel’s Jade. Now, one complete orbit around the sun later, we are revisiting neutrals with taupe—the most universally flattering and complex shade yet. With its mix of gray and brown pigments and subtle violet undertones, taupe is neutral enough to be demure yet dark enough to be trendy, creating an overall look of pure sophistication.
My favorite taupe polishes are . . .
OPI in Over the Taupe ($5.25): I found OPI's polish to be just as creamy, densely pigmented, and long-wearing as Chanel's--but at a fraction of the price.
Chanel Le Vernis in Particulière ($23): The hint of violet is what differentiates Chanel's 2010 runway polish from its slightly more brown-based OPI counterpart. I recommend purchasing this polish directly through the Chanel website or in-store since it is sold out or backordered everywhere else.
