My Favorite Gray Nail Polishes! || KELLI MARISSA

[@woolfmcwolf]

OMG - the hair, the eye makeup and the grey outfit - so stunning

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thank you so much haha

[@EbonRaven]

In some cases, for special finishes, I have used a top coat, but then put a thin coat of the special finish polish on top of that. That way I get the strength of the top coat, but still get the special finish.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that's a smart trick I love it!!!

[@dianneason]

Ooo! That's an excellent idea!! :)

[@cari.dunn.1994]

Essie "Petal Pushers" is a gray polish I wear quite often. I love all these swatches, I've added them to my never ending list of polishes to buy lol

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha the struggle of a nail polish addict! The list never ends!

[@rachelmakrucki3172]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that will put on a second coat regardless of how opaque the polish is

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha I feel naked without it!

[@skiptomyluludarling8519]

Rachel Makrucki no matter what! There will always be a second coat.

[@ambers.9499]

I always do three because my nails are super thin and I want to make sure they don’t break lol

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

Rachel Makrucki I’m not great at application so unless it’s extremely dark, I end up getting uneven results if I do just one coat. Two coats just feels necessary!

[@laurenagnes8435]

Rachel Makrucki I do three! I want the true color.

[@jennifersciumi]

5:28 I totally agree! Picture Polish has really nice, clean photos, too. Cirque also gives me classy vibes.

[@lynnskala3947]

By far the best eye makeup you've ever done. Very pretty.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh wow thank you so much Lynn :)

[@ambers.9499]

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Retro Grade is a good one too, one of my favorites

[@KelliMarissa]

Oooh I'll look for it! I love SH!

[@henrymao89]

So is Iris Illusion, from the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear collection (shiny lavender purplish color), one of my favorite colors. Also look for Get Mod (whitish nail polish), Street Flair (purplish nail polish), Mad Women (purplish, pinkish color), etc.... from the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection..

[@celinelondon1735]

Loving the blue hair Kelli👍🏾 looks so pretty on you. Looking forward to the next video.

[@KelliMarissa]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@GlenaGarrett]

The eye look! I've watched a ton of your videos but had to comment on this one. Your eye looks are always beautiful, but this one goes beyond - the word that comes to mind is ethereal. Just lovely and so so flattering.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh wow thank you so much Glena!!

[@JJBabbles]

"If this was a fake i.d. Do you really think I would've made myself 7ft 5?" 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard at that 😂 I hardly have any Grey polish but I just got a new one from Quixotic called 'Evening peace' (specifically to go under the 'Fusion' topper from that anniversary collection) & it. Is. EVERYTHING!! 😍 (I just tried to find a swatch pic on insta to send you but can't find one anywhere - so odd!) 💕

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh man I've still never tried Quixotic if you can believe it!

[@JJBabbles]

@@KelliMarissa I only tried them this year via PPU & I've fallen really hard for their polishes!! Great brand to try, I'm so clad I did (although my wallet isn't! 😂 My PPU addiction needs cutting off.. Eek!)

[@gray_7]

Love them all, that Picture Polish “Winter” is so pretty

[@clarewhite3004]

I have it and I love it. I stamped wintery designs in white over it all winter.

[@KelliMarissa]

I love how the flakies give it some extra warmth!

[@kayenjee]

I'm addicted to gray polishes

[@KelliMarissa]

me tooooooo

[@chelsealondon6253]

Me too ! High Five especially in Fall Winter .

[@laurabolen4809]

Love the eye shadow today. Your hair also looks like the ocean with all the blue hues...so pretty. I definitely need more gray in my collection.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thanks Laura! I am loving all the little variations in the blue haha.

[@dianneason]

YAY! Your favorite nail polish series is my favorite thing that you do on KZbin! It was such a joy to see that you've posted a new one. Thank you very much! I'm obsessed with gunmetal grays like OPI's Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous. These grays might be a little too dark for this season, but I wear them anyway. :)

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay I'm glad you like this series, cause it's seriously one of my favorite things to film haha!!

[@victoriajackson3697]

Tut y6hh

[@ryuukatamura]

Your eyes are perfect! I love how amazing you look in every video and I'd love to cop all your looks, but I'm too lazy to actually do it just for myself LOL thanks 4 letting me live vicariously thru ur color coordination

[@KelliMarissa]

LOL! You are too much, thank you!!

[@JustinaRoquet]

You are the reason for all my nail polish purchases! Watching all your swatch and reviews helps me pick the perfect shades every time! Thank you!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh this means so much to me, I'm glad you trust my opinions Justina :)

[@knitbelove]

Your eye makeup is particularly gorgeous in this video, makes your natural eye color really stand out

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh wow thanks so much Sarah :)

[@isabeldiaz9717]

Beautiful favorites! I own zoya "dove " and love it! Your makeup is also gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you Isabel :)

[@missorli2]

Love the hair color!!!! Really looks amazing with your skin tone 💙

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much :)

[@jessicaknutson4502]

Loving this series!! Excited to see the white polish video .... Hopefully I'll have my Holo taco unicorn skin collection by then ❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm excited to share my favesssss glad you enjoy these Jessica!

[@vickiealcorn5767]

Not a gray fan, but I did want to have one in my collection. So thank you for the swatch! I actually like blue gray if that's a thing. Love your hair and eye shadow!

[@KelliMarissa]

I know what you mean! Those gorgeous cool undertone grays! And thank you :)

[@beckyschmidt8347]

Also, your eye makeup in this video is one of my fave looks! 😍😍😍 That with your hair and nail color... So perfect!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh gosh thank you so much 😄

[@danavehar]

Love gray nail polishes too! A new (to me) favorite is Essie Press Pause. And an old favorite OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees. Also, I love this series. I was so excited when it popped up on my feed.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay haha I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for sharing your faves, weirdly I don't own either of them!

[@Chantal_4107]

I love grey polishes! I was obsessed with them when I got into nail polish wayyyy back in 2008 or so, still am! Also love your coordinated makeup and outfit, gorgeous!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you haha!

[@tinaallan3419]

I have and love China Glaze Pleather Weather but I also love Zoya Tieran that you reviewed Winter 2019. I love gray polish though!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh that one is a beauty!

[@dagnabitkat]

I am a color geek (and teach color classes), and I love Love LOVE your color sense and the way you talk about color! I’ve commented on this before, but it’s worth doing again, because it’s truly exceptional. It really IS a trip to look at colors on their own and then in contrast to each other, right? It’s all about that context!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much! I do love it, and learning more about color through my love for nail polish!

[@aeb8895]

Kelli! Sending you lots of love! Your videos and vlogs are getting me through this pandemic! Thank goodness for manicures at home during quarantine!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm so happy I can be here for you guys during this crazy time! xoxoxoxoxo

[@annelieberman7221]

Great breakdown. I also love Zoya August and Picture Polish London. I can’t wait to try PP Shark. IIRC, my first grey was OPI Spare Me A French Quarter. I still have the bottle, years later. Thanks again!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh thanks for sharing your faves too!

[@LadyLavender74]

OPI Nein color was one of my first OPI purchases as well. I’m happy to have it in my collection. Love watching these videos.

[@KelliMarissa]

It's such a classic color haha I'll never get rid of it! Glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@miss_tanababy_]

Yayyyyyy! China Glaze Recycle is one of my go-to grey polishes. And I love all shades of grey as well. One of my favorite colors. Take care, Kelli! 💜

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I don't own that one surprisingly! Thanks for sharing :)

[@TheNailPolishHound]

I love grey polishes and that second Picture Polish is stunning

[@KelliMarissa]

They have such a good formula too!

[@sharongibilisco1303]

I don't have near enough grey polish, most of mine are silvers. I love a good metallic polish and am really looking forward to those.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh I'm excited to go through those metallics too haha!

[@loriedata9743]

Concrete Catwalk by China Glaze has always been one of my favs❤️❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh that is a good one!!

[@AshesOfRoses]

I have the Orly polish and it is really pretty. But these all looked nice. Can't wait for your next "favorites". I've seen them them all and appreciate your hard work. ❤😽

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay I'm so happy you like this series, it's so fun to make :)

[@Quit3Cut3]

Zola Caitlin is my all time fav gray nail polish. It’s like a muddy purple gray. My favorite!

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yes it looks gorgeous!

[@thenailpolishbottle7267]

Masura has some really awesome grey polishes, which holographic glitter or shimmer but also one with multichrome flakies! I also love all your picks in this video, grey is also one of my favotite colors to wear on my nails

[@KelliMarissa]

I feel like it's such a classic! Especially with me since I go crazy with hair colors, sometimes I need a neutral nail shade lol.

[@krusten]

I need to get my hands on Slater. That one was so pretty!

[@tselea]

I love my Mineral Fusion in color Gravel Road. It's in between a medium and a dark grey and I love the shade.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I'm gonna have to check it out!

[@LucretiaPearl]

I also like Rub-a-Pub-Pub from OPI's Scotland collection. A slightly greenish darker grey, it's good on it's own, but also good as a base for holo top coats or iridescent top coats.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that is a good one!

[@lurklingX]

14:30 LOVE these reference guides screenshots!!

[@amberjane4729]

Love grey polish! I was admiring the polish on your nails, gorgeous.

[@CristinaPerez-xq2qs]

I wish there were more colors in the rainbow so this series would never end!!!!!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm gonna try my best to stretch it out foreverrrrr lmao

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm so happy you enjoy these :)

[@iluvjpm]

I love grey nail polish. I like taupe/greys the best and purple/greys. I love that Orly one you're wearing. My other favorite of yours is the Picture Polish one. Very pretty.

[@sweeney0558]

LOVE THE DARKER GREY'S AND LOVE YOUR HAIR

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you Linda :)

[@femketjeNL]

Greys are always a good nail polish choice ✨👍🏻 and great for nail art purposes too 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Totally agree! They're so versatile!

[@JilliesNails]

Dove is the best gray!!!! I really love that one too. Love the blue in your hair. It’s very flattering on you!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much :)

[@Neenerella333]

I have gray on now. Essie "petal pushers" with a sheer glaze of OPI "electric eel", a lime hollow with a pink shift.

[@KelliMarissa]

OMG I love that combo idea, I bet it looks stunning.

[@annmariegugliemino5009]

I am always impressed at your ability to see subtleties in color. I don't know the difference between warm and cool tones; not even sure what that means. 😏 I know it is a thing and appreciate the ability to see it. Your shadow is on point and I'm loving the hair, too! As for gray polishes, I have several. Not my top choice generally but there are times nothing else will do! Thanks for the vid, Kelli!😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you :) I feel like I struggle a lot with undertones but I try my best hahah!

[@christinerodriguez3517]

I absolutely love the color of your hair! Its such a great color on you!

[@KelliMarissa]

Thanks so much Christine :)

[@shyvires]

Color club gray, “muse” 😍 it’s my favorite nail polish color ever! I used to put it on every time I did my nails it’s a dark gray / green/blue

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that one does look pretty!

[@shyvires]

Kelli Marissa almost a one coater and definitely pretty!

[@plumbutt3612]

Also, freaking love your hair color. Absolutely stunning.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you Jenna :)

[@nancylaberge6196]

My favorite gray is Pacifica “Drift”. It’s 7 free and has a warm under tone. Loved your video.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that one reminds me of Essie Chinchilly!

[@invaderjill8054]

I know this video is from several years back, but I can relate so much to the brightly colored hair resulting in being carded. I’m 37 and I still get carded. Sigh. The height mishap is pretty crazy tho. :)

[@laughingalltheway8399]

Kiara Sky's Styleletto is my all time favorite grey. It is the perfect neutral toned medium grey creme, has an excellent formula, and a flat brush.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that one is pretty!

[@curateddaisies4128]

I only have two greys, one looks very similar to Astral Projection (cool slightly lavender undertone) and the other is social lights by Essie I recommend getting that if you find it! So beautiful can't tell what undertone it is because there's this dreamlike orange, pink, copper shimmer that appears at certain angles when it catches the light. Looove! If I had to, I'd add one more grey, a light grey cuckoo colour wind in my hair.

[@vanitygirl6989]

Love the grey China Glaze recycle

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yes a classic!

[@jessica232]

Grey is such a relaxing color. I like to use grey polish as a base when I want to be classy but really calm.

[@KelliMarissa]

I totally agree!

[@MartinaIlg]

Thank you so much for this video!! I think the Orly one that you're wearing and the OPI I can never hut up are my faves :)) I have a question, when you make these videos, do you write down notes or similar for each nail polish that you show so you have a reminder of everything you wanna say or do you just improvise? Cause you say so much and you're so detailed, I love it :D

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha that is a good question! The favorites videos are the only ones I take notes for (while swatching) because the polishes tend to be really similar and I want to make sure I remember the differences lol.

[@amybourget6046]

I love Slater and Winter but I love the lighter greys as well.

[@Akitnaya]

Uploaded 4mins ago & I'm here! PS: Your hair looks amazing!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh thank you so much hehe 😄

[@holi6293]

Over The Edge from Essie, I think it's from their Serene Slate collection is my number 1 gray nail polish, it's a slightly metallic almost black polish

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh thanks for sharing your fave!

[@LomeLindi]

I'm really soft for greys, loved this video! I really love OPI Skull & Glossbones, it's a LE from years ago (one of the Pirates of the Caribbean collections). It's got a very slight green undertone and it's super flattering. It just reminds me of newspaper for some reason haha

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh man I remember hunting that one DOWN years ago and crying when I found it lol. Definitely will be listed as one of my fave neutrals.

[@ProfMcGonaGil]

I love these color favs!!! Great videos

[@chloenkitty]

I love your eye make up with this hair color. The other day when you had the green and yellow eye make up on with the blue hair it was too many colors, this is perfection

[@KelliMarissa]

Glad you liked this look!

[@laurentucker5444]

The only gray polish I own is KL polish Sophie and its more like a white with a drop or two of gray.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I do love an almost white!

My favourite gray is Raindrops from Illamasqua. Very hard wearing but a pain to remove because the sparkly bits.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh that color looks so pretty and delicate!

[@leoniewagner4092]

My favourite greys are London from Picture Polish which is a light grey polish with holographic pieces in it and Foggy from F.U.N lacquer with is a slightly darker grey with little holo glitters and a pink shimmer.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I do love london!!

[@justcassio]

Those are some great greys! I really love the Loud Lacquer color, it does remind me of some of the old school hard candy and urban decay polishes I coveted in my youth. Also yes to everything you said about Orly. Gotta be one of my favorite brands and they just dont get the coverage and love I think they deserve from the nail art youtube community. Love the new hair Kelli, keep up the great work you do!

I agree, I wonder why people don't talk about Orly more! They have such an impressive formula haha.

[@KelliMarissa]

Yeah I feel like I need to take a very long break from bleach haha.. I say that now but in a month I'll probably bleach it again LOL

[@theeluannesantos]

Kelli Marissa I destroyed my hair bleaching it so much to change my hair color. It took years for it to be healthy again. I’m sure it was partly my fault and products are better now but I’m too scared 😂

Oh man yes Orly is so underrated!

[@alisonmuenzen2718]

Thank you for giving gray polish some love! Thought I was the only one who liked them! Should people with cool toned skin stick to cool toned grays, or does it matter? Also have you tried Essie Gel Couture in Closing Night? It looks so pretty and I'd love to see a swatch 🖤

[@KelliMarissa]

Hey Alison! I think to start out, you might be more comfortable with the cooler toned shades - and you might find that the warmer grays look more taupe/beige on you - but it’s definitely worth experimenting with different undertones and seeing what you like best!

[@chelsealondon6253]
