Guess Who Was Spotted Wearing This Season's Hottest Polish Shade?

Ah, "greige," the mushroom/gray/taupe shade with just the slightest hint of purple that's so trendy these days. Thanks to the popularity of Chanel's Particulière, we've seen lots different stars wearing this hue over the past few months. Now it's time to do some beauty sleuthing. Can you guess which celebrity either wore the luxe shade or was inspired by it? Take our quiz to find out.

You Don't Know Jacques is pretty dark. Great colors for spring/summer are OPI for Sephora in Metro Chic and Sally complete salon manicure in Commander In Chic. Both are almost an exact dupe of the the Chanel.

Also- I just accidentally found a Rimmel nail polish shade called "Steel Grey" that is a bit more mauve in it, but still very similarly cool. Oh and only $3.99~!

I actually just got a "greige" Sally Hansen shade (the best I could manage at the nearest crappy Walgreens), turned out a bit darker than I'd have liked (but I have extremely pale skin) but I love it! And I thought my nails seemed longer, BeautyGala!

OPI Barefoot in Barcelona is also gorgeous, though not a dupe for the Chanel polish, as it is more on the nude side.

weird, i just clicked the link back to the first Bella article and found i had the name slightly wrong, but i'm spot on with my OPI version of the Chanel color! The best match by far is OPI You Don't Know Jacques! ($8), which really does look like Particulière from a distance. Upon closer inspection, Jacques is a bit grayer than its fancier counterpart, and I could see it being especially flattering for ladies with cool undertones.

Love this trend. The nude color makes your fingers look miles long!
