"Opt for jet black with an unexpected matte top coat or rock a super shiny snow white nail to make bright colors pop even more," she says.

Digital Studio For this ultra-luxurious fashion statement Chanel celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik advises keeping it classic with a red polish. "For the chillier weather steer away from the tomato shades and choose a deep, burnt crimson. It looks rich and decadent which will compliment this style."

Think rich eggplant or deep burgundy," suggests Anne Hathaway's manicurist April Foreman. "Avoid wearing black polish with black lace which will end up looking goth," she adds. Forman also suggests taking the lace trend straight to your fingertips. Take your cue from Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez by applying lace directly on your nails, securing it with a few drops of nail glue." It's a bit more work than applying polish, but it definitely has more impact."

Deborah Lippman, who works with Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore, suggests keeping nails dark: "Opt for a deep grey shade that won't compete with your clothing, and go for a creme texture rather than a metallic."

Digital Studio Manicurist Ashlie Johnson, who did the nails of InStyle cover girls Gwen Stefani and Katie Holmes observes, "If you're rocking the tough chic look you probably like living on the edge, so you can pull off something a bit unexpected on the hands." She suggests pairing up with Chanel's runaway hit of the season Peridot, a holographic multi-dimensional gold with hints of green.

"Because there is no color to distract, shape plays a key part in the overall effect. Oval is totally in, so regardless of your nail length, pull out your file and round out those square edges!" she adds.
