Wonderful as that electric blue shadow is, what stands out for me as a more worthwhile investment is that beautiful tri-color eye palette (Delphes, US$45) with the plum, olive-taupe and matte dove grey.

But I’m still in lust with the gorgeous slate grey limited edition nail enamel (Galion, $17).

These are paired with muted but wearable matte lipsticks and glosses.

For a less price-y way to rock gorgeous grey nails, try ZOYA Caitlin (US$8).

Nails of the moment: Essie #730 Merino Cool

Taupe with a hint of purple. Essie’s Merino Cool was a shade I picked up on my recent trip to Hong Kong, and I’ve been loving it with a little China Glaze Crown Me Already! on top of random fingers for serious sparkle.

I’ve been gravitating towards slightly more plum or violet taupes recently, just as an interesting update on last year’s “it” shade, greige (grey-beige).

ZOYA’s Caitlin is a slightly more blue-hued version of Merino Cool, and equally beautiful, but also a bit more expensive, but if you like more natural ingredients in your polishes, definitely check that out.
