The New "It" Nail Color: Pewter

Step aside black and plum—there's a new shade in town. We've spotted gorgeous pewter polish on enough celebs that it's safe to call it a trend: Kim Kardashian (left), Paula Patton (right), Jenna Dewan and Beyonce. Pick a dark silver shade that has a touch of a metallic finish, but isn't too reflective—think brushed metal. Our favorites include Ms. Milani, which has tiny flecks of gold to give the color light, and Essie's Steel-ing the Scene, a tarnished hue with subtle shimmer.

    Dag, I've had this shade since the mid-late 90's. Who knew I'd be setting a trend eventually? ;-)

    What's so new about that color?? I wore a similar shade last New Years' Eve!! Guess you have to be famous to say it's new.

    What's old is new again I guess...have 2 bottles of this in my stash that have been around a # of years. Seems if it's the 'new trend' all they did was take the matte grays of last year and add a bit of metallic to it. I will use it - but still loving my dark blood red/black/plums - my red/browns - and until end of autumn - still wearing a bronzy deep red.
