Gray Nail Designs
It seems that gray nail varnish never fails to disappoint. Even though this color is often being associated with something gloomy and dark, it will make your nails look so chic and stunning. You can replace your usual nude and pink shades with gray ones, thus bringing a dash of freshness and sophistication to your nails. Check out our suggestions for achieving trendy nail looks the following season.
1Simplicity at Its Finest!
The glossy gray with a purple undertone is a perfect choice for this season. We think that this nail design is ideal for businesswomen who don’t have enough time but still want to be trendy. It is easily combinable, and it looks good on both, long and short nails. To get this look, try JINSOON nail polish in shade Auspicious.
2Winter Wonderland
This beautifully romantic design is ideal for a wintery mood. In this look, gray and white varnishes are intertwined to create winter magic. Also, the matte effect is added to give the nails a bit of texture.

5Bold Elegance
These nails are elegant and subtle, and at the same time bold and impressive. The technique of foils on your nails, will for sure put you in the center of attention wherever you go.

6Gray Glam
Matte nails are so popular in the beauty world these days. And as you might have noticed our obsession with the matte effect is real. This stunning look features gray matte nails embellished with rhinestones. You can accentuate this look by applying gorgeous purple and green glitters on the pinkie finger.
7Winter Ombre
Another nail look that is perfect for winter months. It may seem that this design is effortless, but in fact, it’s so intricate that only the best salons could recreate it. Use glittery gray and white nail polish to create an ombre effect. When that dries up, apply black nail polish by using thinner brushes to create a branch effect on your nails.

16Gray Geometry
Geometric shapes on your nails can never be a wrong choice. This design is characteristic by sharp lines that divide your nails thus creating (in this case) symmetric shapes. Because of the neutral tones, you can wear this nail design with any outfit. It’s a perfect fall trend.

As we have mentioned earlier, gay and pink make a perfect combo. And we all know that you can never go wrong with an animal print on your nails. Therefore we spiced up a bit this simple design by applying the animal print on the ring fingernail.
19Taupe Ombre
The ombre effect, as we already wrote about, is for sure trending at the moment. And here we have this pretty minimalistic yet so sophisticated look that is so easy to copy. Adding a couple of silver rings onto your nails will only emphasize the beauty of the design.

Paring gray nail polish with nude and black is one of the options if you want your nails to pop. For this design, we used different techniques and shades to show that short nails can still look outstanding.
21Gray Base with Purple Shimmer
The shimmer on your nails can add glam to the overall look. To get nails like this, apply light gray varnish and top it with some purple shimmer. It is ideal for long summer nights and parties.
22Gold Foils
Have you ever thought of mixing the two hottest trends of the season – matte and foils? Thus you would get the look that is both, dazzling and one of a kind. It isn’t that easy to copy this design, so we suggest checking the YouTube for some tutorials.
23Negative Space Nail
We adore this nail design! This negative space completely changed our perception of the look. These almond-shaped nails are a presentation of a perfect mixture of colors and techniques.

If you are a fan of stiletto nails but don’t like designs that are over the top, neutral color like gray will make your nails look very chic.
