Grey or greige nail polish

My beloved & Other Stories Boratio Greige has painted its last nail. Anyone recommend a good grey or greige nail polish for spring? Can be cheap as chips or £££! Generally I apply on Sunday night and reapply on a Weds night, so anything that lasts a few days without chipping is a bonus (I'm looking at you, bright yellow OPI).

Grey nails are my favourite. My top picks are:

Smith and Cult - Doe My Dear
Leighton Dennny - Message in a Bottle
Essie - Cocktail Bling
Chanel - Washed Denim

(The last two are possibly too blue/grey for you - the Chanel's a new one and really lovely.)

Dior 'Metropolis' or 'Junon' are both nice grey/greige shades IMO.

Just went out on my lunch break to buy some. Came back with a t-shirt and pencils and no nail polish....

Liz Earle has some lovely grey/greige colours and I find it lasts quite well. grey dawn or ebb tide would be good choices.

Sally Hansen - Greige

Sally Hansen - Commander in Chic is also good

UNF. That Chinchilly is gorgeous. DW is buying Ballet Slippers in bulk, so I'll get her to add that to the basket for me!

OPI Rubble is good. Quite a bit darker than the Chinchilly.

I like Zoya Dove, mid grey.

I love Essie Sand Tropez.

It's on the paler, yellower end.

Soigne has some beautiful greys and greiges, and they last a week on me. They aren't the cheapest but it's worth keeping an eye on the website as they have 50 per cent off sales two to three times a year.

I just bought Essie Cocktail Bling. It leans quite blue/lilac in some lights though so maybe not what you're looking for.

Essie polishes are good for not chipping.
