Wheel Q4: Grey to Black Shimmers

Every week, I click around my image folders to choose the next Nail Wheel Wednesday. I could just post them in the order I paint them, but since I often get on a roll and swatch three or four or five similar wheels in a row that would mean less variety week to week and that's no good for me. But freeing myself from doing them in order means I can post any one of the wheels I've got waiting, so I'm tempted to look at them all, and that can take a while because I get distracted by the pretty colors. So I've decided for now that I will post roughly in rainbow order, with neutrals and multis inserted after violet. Since I did purples last week, it's neutrals this week, and the first neutral wheel I clicked on in my file perusal was this group of grey and black shimmers.

We'll just have to see how long I manage to stick to this new rainbow posting order before getting distracted by some other idea. It's worth a try, though, since any time I save pondering which wheel to pick frees up time to ponder other things, like which polishes to swatch.
