As I'm sitting on the
Central line on my way to a
Marketing lecture, I flick through my GLAMOUR magazine and happily open my free present. To my surprise, I get another
Nails. Inc Nail Varnish (thank you GLAMOUR!). This time in a confusing shade I couldn't quite differentiate, somewhere between a
Grey or a Brown like a Cappuccino color. Feeling sceptical about this puzzling color and whether it'll suit my skin tone, I start painting my bare nails. With everyone on the tube staring at me as if I'm sort of
weirdo, i finish within 10 mins, although my left hand is always smoother than my bumpy right. After the color has hardened on my nails, I go back to my magazine and am surprised at the celebrity trends that Greige: is an on trend color; a suitable alternative to NUDE for warm skin tones and the color for my nail varnish!! I felt quite chuffed and excited that i have just experimented a trend on time and actually agree!

| 'Greige' - soft taupe nail polish £11.00 OMG. | |
Reaching Liverpool street, i get off the platform and take a last glimpse at the color.
After 3 hours, As I'm rummaging through my bag to search for my new prize. To my horror, i find out that it had gone!
I had left it on the Train!
The one trend which i had experimented and actually approved, has now vanished and the only piece of evidence left was on my nails. With nails. inc, the color stays on rock solid but with the dish washing and the hand washing, they start to chip away.
READERS, LEARN FROM THIS AND TRY NOT TO REPEAT WHAT I DID!

| Dark pink cerise nail polish £11.00. |

This color is the one i had received from the last issue (which had Leona Lewis on the cover).
But anyway here are a few examples on how to wear greige>
 |
| Victoria wears a slightly in between nude/taupe 1 shoulder dress but complements the dress by adding a what you could claim a Greige belt (although grey may be more dominant than the beige) |
|
|
|
 |
| Miss JLO wears a understated Greige dress with a cowl neckline. By keeping the accessories and hair/makeup simple and contrasting, she has allowed the dress to 'come out' and keep her looking flawless. | | | | | | |

 |
| Lovely Alessandro shows us how to rock greige on a casual level by dressing with white linen trousers (which makes greige become a color for the summer) and the flats/bag are not disturbing because they all come from the NUDE/GREY family. |

Now my lovies!! The next page will show how YOU can rock GREIGE without busting your bank
 |
| For daytime, pair a light (preferably white or off-white, depends on skin tone) with GREIGE Capri or cropped pants. |
 |
| With these shoes, casual becomes stylish. |
 |
| For party or night look, team this fancy number with the below shoes. Remembering to keep accessories and hair simple. One feature should be emphasised, preferably eyes because lips could go brown/nudes rather than plum/red | A suitable purse could be a gold or silver clutch. This is dependant on whether you were going to cool your look (grey) or warm your look (beige) |
Adding black to the outfit can darken the ensemble or adding white can lighten it.
Opting for Dark Grey or Beige shoes would be best.
 |
| A lovely touch as shown and the shoes above could definitely go with this dress. |
Now you are probably wondering when am i going to get to the bit about the nails. Well with Greige dominating the whole body, painting the nails GREIGE would be a nice touch as shown by Amanda but would make it more wedding like. A better colour could be purple or brown. something vibrant or in the greige family.
BUT fret not!!
 |
| Green is the main theme here, with those long greige nails and nude lips. RiRi manages to calm the green. |
|
|
 |
| Again goes for Sandra, Greige nails and purple dress equals elegance. | which is why greige ensembles need vibrancy like purple |
 |
| And last!! the racy black ensemble by mena suvari shows you don't need french tips for this work wear because greige will just do! plus it also brings out her own classic beige complexion. |
|

Well thats GREIGE for you, feel free to ask about GREIGE but overall you can say greige is really nude and brown with grey so it'll suit everyone whatever your complexion.
One tip i recommend is if GREIGE is either a top or pant, remember to wear with either black,brown or white. KEEP IT SIMPLE!!
Love, girl with the purple stiletto x<x>x
