After all the star gazing at London Fashion Week, of course you know gunmetal grey is the hottest new nail colour (pair it with your 80’s neon accessories and dip dyed tshirts). But did you know you could get a bottle of Lippmann’s ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ [dark grey varnish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetles-gel-polish-emotional-spectrum) designed with Rock and Roll legend Pat Benetar? I’ll be wearing the grey (available at amazon.com) but check out other [catchy colours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opi-x-wicked) in this [quick drying collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products) include ‘Makin Whoopie’ , ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, and ‘Whatever Lola Wants’.
