Artsy Wednesday - Greyscale

This week's Artsy Wednesday theme is Greyscale so let's dive right in:



I was going to do the whole ombre thing and had even picked out colours from my newly organised swatches:


But as per I got distracted by different effects and the likes so opted for a grey mani with a difference!  Now you're gonna have to concentrate here cos there is a whole load of polishes used!


The base for all nails is Leighton Denny, Zero Gravity with the addition of:

Pinky - OPI Black Shatter
Ring - Barry M Black over corner with Models Own white nail art pen for Zebra stripes and Nails Inc Royal Mews for dots
Middle - LD Steal Appeal with Nails Inc Royal Mews dots
Index - Silver striping nail tape
Thumb - polka dots in Nails Inc Royal Mews, LD Amazing Grey and Barry M Black


Pinky - OPI Silver Shatter
Ring - Nails Inc Victoria St spots with Models Own black nail art pen for highlights
Middle - LD Amazing Grey on lower part of nail, upper is LD Steal Appeal with Nails Inc Royal Mews for dots
Index - Nails Inc Victoria St corner swipe with LD Big Bang over the top and Barry M black polka dots
Thumb - taped off chevron and used LD Steal Appeal with Nails Inc Royal Mews accent dot

The aftermath:


I adore grey nails and have a bit of a weakness for them!  Some of my fav manis are grey:
