Blue Nails.

Wintry nail polish hues (think black, navy and wine) are making their red carpet exits — and making room for new hues. The favourite of the latest crop: this pale blue hue, which seems to have popped up overnight. And Hollywood’s leading ladies are nailing it. Emma Roberts chose a cool mint-tinted blue that matched perfectly with her Finders Keepers dress. Lena Dunham opted for some robin’s egg-blue nails that are a sweet counterpoint to her burgundy fit-and-flare gown, while Drew Barrymore went for a contrasting blue shade, choosing a delicate sea blue shade.

No matter which blue you pick for your tips, the options are limitless. It’s a fun color that you can do in so many different ways. And with all of the different shades, it can work with any skin tone.

Met Gala 2013: Celebrity Nail Art.

One of the biggest events in the fashion calendar took place in New York – drum roll for the Met Ball 2013. This year, celebrities went all out for the Punk: Chaos To Couture theme, from the whimsical to the downright wacky. Oh, and there were enough smoky black eyes to warrant calling in the New York Fire Department. But what the long-lens cameras might have missed, social media addicted celebrities provided.
Here are some of the best manicures from the MET.

Katy Perry.
Wore embellished metallic gold nails with stick-on red crystals. We spied a whole range of nails filed in this large oval shape backstage at the AW13 catwalks. Set to be a huge trend.



Rita Ora.
Nail art enthusiast Rita went for a quirky reversed French-mani embossed with gold chains and rhinestones.



Rosie Huntington – Whitely
Not usually a nail art fan, Rosie pulled out all the stops for this year’s theme sporting an ombre French-mani in black and gold.


Nicole Richie
We fell for Nicole’s love heart-tipped red and gold nails. 


Emmy Rossum
Emmy's nail art was inspired by her billowing Donna Karan dress as the same lace fabric and crystals from the dress were used.

What’s an awards show these days without funky nail art to go with the assortment of gowns and hair? Music’s finest females had some of the most covetable manicures at the Grammys and these were some of them.

Kelly Rowland. Rowland used two nail colors for her manicure moment, combining a steely metallic polish with a peachy pink hue.
