Nail it.

A little bit of nail lacquer can go a long, long way in creating an overall look and complimenting an outfit.
Nail art, although really cute, can be ridiculously grueling to master, and even more exhausting to maintain. With that said, having a great every day, go to color is essential to anyone with a love for painted nails.
You Don't Know Jacques 
by OPI is by far one of my favorites. It is a nice take on the grey nail trend that has been running rampant through the fashion world.
The color is a rich blend of grey and a taupe/brown color and for some reason, when I look at this color on my nails, the word that comes to mind is "mink".
My largest complaint with grey nail polish is how sometimes it can be so steely grey that it comes off as having a blue tone. The taupe in the polish ensures that there is no blue tone what-so-ever.
The tone of the color is not too light and not too dark, making it the perfect color to transition from day to night, work to play, and summer to winter.
I would recommend using two coats. I was impressed with the application process. The polish is relatively quick drying (I would recommend painting your nails while watching a movie or some other long term, nails free activity) and lasted a full week without chipping.
Definitely a beauty must have.
I have found this color at Ulta. Sephora does not carry it. If you don't have an Ulta near your area, search for You Don't Know Jacques on Amazon.com
Enjoy having beautiful and classy nails that match just about any outfit or accessory you pair with them!
