Beige, Grunge, Greige, Taupe, Shit Fingers… whatever you want to call it. There’s a love/hate vibe around the shade that hasn’t venured far from the spotlight for the last year or so…
Here’s a run down of a few of the shades I own.

My perfect “greige” needs to be the right mix of grey and brown. If it has just a hint of mauve, all the better…

Orly Prince Charming and BarryM Mushroom are quite chocolatey in appearance… I prefer a little more grey to my greiges. Boots No7′s Beanie and O.P.I’s You Don’t Know Jacques are both beautiful but quite dark.
This leaves the mega bargainous E.L.F’s Smoky Brown as my pick of the colour crop. On price alone (£1.50) it wins hands down.
If you haven’t done so already, you can check the E.L.F polishes out here.



shit fingers! I hate the griege look, but somehow I have the ELF smokey brown in my collection….. =0/

I don’t really like them, plus I don’t think it works on my skintone so I leave well alone.

I love greige. YDKJ looks very dark. It’s off my list. Glad to say I have the Barry M (average) and the ELF (not tried it yet). But if you want mauve then get CG Channelesque.

woah, who would have thought that barry m would have so looked so similar to the others, being so pale in the bottle!
shit fingers = that made me chuckle haha x
of course i am going to prefer the opi ydkn, but that’s just because i prefer your actual nail there, best looking of the bunch.
this is so nice to see this comparison, you totally sold me on the greige trend. being a cheap tart I’d go for the elf or the barry m.
oh if elf sold in boots or s/drug that would be so awesome
i dont like ordering from elf. i feel a bit bad ordering just for £3 of stuff lol. i’d love to be able to swatch things x

You could try OPI Metro Chic or their Parlez-Vous OPI

I quite like those colours, i think they tend to look classy and polished. I like the Barry M one best as the others aren’t as beige-y as i like.

I have yet to try ELF polishes, even with 2000+ polishes in my collection. You make me want to try all of these! Love greiges.
