'Stone nails' are shaping up to be one of summer's biggest nail trends—here's the 6 looks I plan to copy
The chicest shade
Alix Earle called it: stone nails are in.
Before I go any further, yes the stone nails trend is 'just' a grey-toned manicure. But it's way more fun to give it an actual name than just boring grey. Plus, it's a specific shade of grey that adds depth with "subtle hints of blue or purple undertones," says CND co-founder Jan Arnold. "As light washes over the nails, captivating flashes of cool tones elevate this manicure to the level of your beloved denim jeans for ease and sophistication," she adds.
It's an ideal colour for transitioning between spring and summer if you're not quite in the mood for a vibrant sunset manicure yet. Here are some of the best inspiration photos and stone nail shades you can shop. You'll find, quite literally, 50 shades of grey here.
