Granite

If you ask me, a gunmetal polish is equivalent to the little black dress. It's simple. It's chic. It's timeless.
In addition, it can be worn in a number of ways, making it a staple in any collection.

Today I'd like to show you Maddox St, a shimmery, gunmetal shade by Nails Inc. It looks good glossy, but I wanted to switch it up by mattifying it, and used The Face Shop BK901 as an accent. I'm typically not a fan of black polish, but I think it totally rocks when mattified!

Do you have a gunmetal shade in your collection? What do you think is a staple polish to have?

The final look reminds me a bit of ChG Stone Cold. I love the look but I can't manage to find THE right occasion to wear it... Instead of that, a glossy black polish looks ab fab! :D

Beautiful! It looks elegant and chic, as you say.
I've only worn dark polish ONCE. I'm not really a fan of darks/vampies on myself, but I love how they look on you & others :)
