The novel Fifty Shades of Grey has been a runaway best-seller. While the staff here at NAILS can’t agree on the literary merits of this first book in the trilogy by E.L. James, there’s one thing we can agree on: It gives us all the perfect excuse to have our nails polished in any number of shades of grey. Pick out your favorite grey from this photo gallery, or try mixing and matching them in color block or ombré styles.
