Celebrity Nails

These Hollywood stars, most of whom are American, either set or follow new nail fashion trends. Not every woman, of course, pays attention to the hottest nail shapes, colors, or lengths of the moment; some ladies have their signature look and stick to it for years regardless of what's "in vogue."

The Celebrity Nails gallery you are about to see includes different colors and styles from the classic French Manicure to new variations of it, such as the "reverse French manicure," and from basic short red manicures to long pink nails. There are natural nails and stylish acrylics.

The types of nail lacquers run the gamut from metallic and shimmery to matte and sheer. You will also see nails with full standard coverage and color on tips only. The nail enamels range from discrete and demure colors to bold and vivid bright reds and pinks.

All the pictures of celeb nails are manicures except one perfect pedicure that could not be ignored. Overall there's a wide range for you to view in thinking about your next look. See if you can find a nail polish color and manicure style for the next time you go to the nail salon to get your nails done, or when you want to do your own manicure at home.

Celebrities with the Best Nails

* Rihanna is a woman of color who loves color. Nearly every time you see her now in a celebrity gossip magazine it seems she is wearing a new nail polish color. She has worn everything from purple to green and from regular red to fluorescent red.

* Christy Turlington has gorgeous natural nails and probably the best of any supermodel. They appeared in Maybelline nail polish advertisements many years ago. (Image courtesy Maybelline via BW Greyscale.)

* The late Rita Hayworth was one of the most photographed model actresses during the 1940s. (Some people complained she received too much exposure.) She nearly always had long nails and they were usually painted red.
