I agonise over just picking a shade of polish, so I can only imagine how nail art enthusiasts feel. But we always have celebrities to look to for inspiration. After all, they probably have nine manicurists on speed dial (although I’d choose to have chefs on standby instead). Flick through the gallery to check out nail looks from some of our fave celebs.
Alexa Chung
The Brit ‘it girl’ Alexa gets a little magical with navy blue polish and metallic star stickers. So easy to recreate!
Bella Thorne
Who would’ve thought yellow and grey could be so eye-catching? Bella Thorne makes it work.
Beyonce
A manicure fit for a queen. Bey takes metallics to a whole new level with crown detail.
Busy Phillips
Busy Phillips mixes bright colours with geometric patterns, and absolutely nails it (sorry!). You’ll need a very steady hand and some tiny tools to pull this off.
Greer Grammar
Dress up pastel pink nails with some gold glitter a la Greer Grammar to feel like a total princess.
Jessie J
The singing sensation manages to inject some edge into everything, and these metallic silver tips with black trim are no exception. Well done, Jessie J!
JLo
This reverse French mani has all the class of the original, with a modern twist. It’s perfect if you’re after something neutral with a difference.
Katy Perry
Katy’s polka-dot mani is so perfectly portioned, it’s mesmerising. To copy her look, use a toothpick to create dots.
Kerry Washington
Add a little cool-girl detail to your regular nude mani with a silver half moon.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe loves to get tricky with her talons, so if you’re up for the challenge, try copying these structured stripey tips.
Kylie Jenner
The queen of the claws shows us how to nail a negative space mani (ie. where a design is painted onto the naked nail.)
Lauren Conrad
If sweet and simple is more your style, look no further than Lauren’s coral coloured base with gold metallic trim.
Lena Dunham
Forget Fifty Shades of Grey – all you need is five to recreate Lena’s amazing ombre creation.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa goes crazy with metallic gold embellishments to turn her basic black mani into a sassy statement.
My faves were Beyonce's, Khloe Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens they were so coool
