Guess the Celebrity Mani or Pedi
Gotta love this "gurl," who chose variations on red for the Hollywood premiere of her music documentary. Each nail is interesting on its own, but they work in concert with the sparkly net bag and deep-red dress. Two thumbs up.Katy Perry,Katy Perry and John Mayer,
Raising the Bar
On anyone else, this combination of bright pink costume jewelry and debilitating jewel-encrusted nails -- each one its own little work of artlessness -- might seem tacky. But given who this is, we have to admire her fearless efforts to raise the bar on bad taste.Snooki,Snooki and baby Lorenzo,
Dramatic Digits
For stiletto-sharp neon-yellow nails, highlighted by one shining silver digit and echoed by the dagger-like ring, the judges give this avant-garde model/singer/designer 10 points for high style.Amber Rose,Amber Rose pregnant,wiz khalifa and amber rose pregnant at VMAs,
Pretty in Pink
At the 2012 American Country Music Awards, this singer is our idol for her understated choice of rose-pink nails that perfectly complement her blush dress and elegant silver flower ring. Sometimes simple is simply the best.Carrie Underwood,Carrie Underwood CMA co-host 2012,Carrie Underwood Female Vocalist of the Year nomination 2012,
E for Effort
The single blue nail was a nice touch, given that this young singer was kicking off her World Tour at the House of Blues in Hollywood. But even her tender age doesn't excuse a tired mani that looks like she did it at home.selena gomez,selena gomez and justin beiber's siblings,selena gomez "hotel transylvania" + "spring breakers",
Face Time
This singer wasn't afraid to proclaim her love on her fingernails, and the strong black-and-white images of her famous hubby made an intriguing contrast to the delicate black dress. Such a creative look, but sadly the marriage lasted only slightly longer than the mani.Katy Perry,
Smiley Face
Fans may line up to hear this singer express her feelings about love, loss and life, but that doesn't mean we're interested in what her fingers have to say. This is a clear case of good nails gone bad...or at least boring.rihanna,rihanna's new ch*st tattoo,rihanna and chris brown,.
Blue Mood
She may play schemers and vixens on TV, but this actress isn't afraid to get her hands into a good cause, so it's fitting that she was in a colorful mood at a Sally Hansen charity event. We applaud this sporty, short and bright-blue mani.AnnaLynne McCord,
Orange Delight
While showing her support for animals at the 2012 Genesis Awards, this popular R&B singer also showed her true colors. And her combination of spiky nails and spiky-print dress -- in a delicious shade of orange -- was a clear winner.Kesha,Kesha on the red carpet,
Miss-Matched
Who doesn't love neon nails? But in this case, a popular singer's combination of school-bus yellow nails and a jewel-encrusted dress leaves us wide awake. There's nothing mellow about this yellow.Katy Perry,
International Style
She may be British, but her mani was French when this lovely lass made a public appearance in London to promote industry and job creation in the UK. This understated mani let her jewels take the spotlight in this classic -- and classy -- look.Kate Middleton,Kate Middleton outfits,
Seeing Spots
This actress and TV personality chose white nails to mirror the dots on her black-and-white dress, and she let her jewelry shine. It's a cool summer look that wins points for simplicity and style.Vanessa Lachey,Vanessa Lachey pregnancy,
The Verdict is In
It's a shame when free speech clashes with bad taste, in the case of this mean girl's mani-with-a-mission. Hard to say which is worse, the sloppy paint job or her message to the judge, but we hope there won't be a repeat offense.lindsay lohan,lindsay lohan as elizabeth taylor,
Ho Hum
This award-winning dancer/singer/actress is not afraid to take risks on the dance floor, but she played it too safe with this pink mani -- a tame and boring choice that doesn't work with her gold ring and silvery snakeskin clutch.Julianne Hough,rock of ages julianne hough,
Modern Style
This sexy Colombian actress -- who has multiple award noms for her role in a popular TV show -- wisely chose pale nails to match her diamonds for a Golden Globes party. When you've got bling, everything else takes a backseat.sofia vergara,sofia vergara and nick loeb engaged,sofia vergara highest earning woman on TV,
Going for Gold
Pairing plain white nails with dramatic black and gold tips, this pop diva tops the charts. Given her penchant for high style, we're betting that the chevron shape of her nail design was meant to mimic the details in her steel-gray dress. Let's drink to that!Rihanna,rihanna on the red carpet ,
K is for…Karat
It's hard to notice her nails with this stack of sparklers, so maybe that's why this tabloid diva chose a tasteful white mani. We can't fault her nail color choice, even if the rings are over the top. Just like the lady herself.Kim Kardashian,Kim Kardashian freezing eggs,Kim Kardashian Twitter pics,
Retro Chic
What's cooking with this celeb chef? A tasty mix of retro chic in the chevron-striped dress and classic gold clutch she chose for the Daytime Emmys in 2012. Her short red mani adds just the right retro style. Delizioso!giada de laurentiis,
Black Magic
The shoes may look like they came from a wizard's wardrobe, but the fashionable pedi displayed by this talented British actress and Burberry model offers a counterpoint of understated style.Emma Watson,Emma Watson Burberry campaign,Emma Watson "The Perks of Being a Wallflower",
Hitting a High Note
She has struggled with her music career and being in the shadow of her older sister, but this singer managed to hit the right note with a classic red mani -- perfectly paired with her bright print dress.Ashlee Simpson,ashlee simpson and vincent piazza,
Right in Red
What's the best mani choice for a black dress and a silver-and-white evening bag? Deep, red movie-star nails. This American TV and film actress -- once voted sexiest woman in the world -- chose a classic mani for an awards show in London. We think she looks fantastic.Jessica Alba,jessica alba self cover sept. 2012,
Here Kitty
It's hard to know if this busy actress and former vampire slayer could find any nail color that would work with these gladiator rejects. So while she was wise to pair dramatic shoes with an understated pedi, we'd still throw this look to the lions.michelle trachtenberg,michelle trachtenberg gossip girl season six,michelle trachtenberg teen choice awards "Choice TV Villain",
Regal Choice
Befitting her status as one of America's favorite movie stars, this Oscar winner gets our vote for high style with her choice of a rich, regal nail color that perfectly complements the gold and silver in her gown and accessories. A class act.Sandra Bullock,Sandra Bullock "The Heat",Sandra Bullock age,
Straight-Up Style
We know her as a comedy actress in TV and film, but her simple black mani shows that she's se-rious about style. With an elegant clutch and a golden gown -- perfect for an Oscar-night party -- there's nothing funny here, just good taste.Kristen Wiig,Kristen Wiig SNL replacement,
Covered Up and Classy
Often seen in a swimsuit or less, this actress and frequent Playboy model was well-dressed in a pink-and-grey ensemble at the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards in February 2012. Her pale pink mani pulled it all together.Carmen Electra,Carmen Electra on the red carpet,
Vision in White
At the 2012 Academy Awards, this actress, model and musician showed that her temporary detour into fashion design was no fluke. Her pearlescent mani goes perfectly with her clutch, jewelry, and stunning silvery white gown.milla jovovich,Resident Evil: Retribution,milla jovovich on the red carpet,
Ouch!
Even gorgeous women sometimes make ugly fashion mistakes, and that's the case here. Despite this Hollywood actress's fairytale marriage and smoldering beauty, her heels are so high that her feet look tortured and unattractive. Her pedi just shines a darker light on the problem.catherine zeta-jones ,catherine zeta-jones "Broken City",
Beyond 9 to 5
This TV actress knows that a woman's nails don't have to be the first thing someone notices about her. And her classic mani would work equally well at the office or a night on the town.Jenna Fischer,Jenna Fischer + The Giant Mechanical Man,
Diagnosis: Gorgeous
This actress and former model's black nails and simple mani complement her basic-black outfit and provide a nice backdrop for her flamboyantly colorful ring. Much more interesting than a lab coat.Jennifer Morrison,Jennifer Morrison in "Once Upon a Time",
Easy Elegance
This Academy Award-winning South African actress is considered one of the world's most beautiful women, despite the many less-than-lovely roles she has eagerly embraced. By passing on the more obvious black and going with an understated taupe for her manicure, this elegant actress shows that she's more than just a pretty face.Charlize Theron,charlize theron in prometheus,charlize theron snow white and the huntsman,Charlize Theron with baby Jackson,
Cover Up
Some toes should not be bared in public, even if they belong to a woman as brilliant as this critically acclaimed actress, who has played a sex symbol and a librarian with equal conviction. Her ill-fitting shoes don't help, but she'd be better off painting the town red and leaving her toenails alone.michelle williams,michelle williams with matilda,
Basic Black
When this rising star appeared at Spike TV's 6th Annual "Guys Choice" Awards in June 2012, her black pedi was a natural extension of her black ensemble. Anyone who saw the actress in her breakout film role in 2010 would surely agree that black is her color.mila kunis,mila kunis "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn",
Enough Already
With her crimson pedi, her glitzy shoes and three of her 14 tattoos below her ankles (two on her right foot and one on her left), this normally gleeful actress and singer has a bad case of busy feet.lea michele,season 4 of glee ,
Digital Art
Fingernails-as-art is a good look for the costumed persona of this Trinidad-born rapper, singer and songwriter. Her imaginative mani, featuring nails decorated with hearts, leopard prints, an ice cream cones and a lipstick, was designed by celebrity nail artist Kandi.Nicki Minaj,
Star Power
At the Oscars in 2012, this A-list singer and actress's manicure was as stylish as the star herself.

Too Much of a Good Thing
Her deep-pink pedi could have been a fashion plus, and the same could be said for her snakeskin heels, but together they added up to double jeopardy for this actress and global humanitarian.Ashley Judd,Ashley Judd at DNC,Ashley Judd running for office,
