Megha ChaturvediMay 12 2011

Just like make up, clothes and footwear, nail paints also change according to the season. Unlike last year, where the emphasis was more on dark shades like black and deep purple; this year, the trend has taken a U-turn towards bright yellow. The year 2011 has seen many experiments in nail paints – this season has seen many celebrities wearing this bright and flashy, matching it with different outfits.

Although her hairstyle was a bit strange, Katy’s nail paint created a sensation. She wore this bright color at the MTV Awards, clubbing it with a shimmery net dress and blue wig. Her bright nails were completely in sync with the outfit and went well with her skin tone!

2.Natalie Portman

The simple, elegant actress Natalie Portman, who is hardly seen in bright make up or over-the-top dresses, was surprisingly spotted wearing this bright and shiny yellow nail paint. The ‘Black Swan’ actress wore it at a charity function with a simple suede jacket and blue jeans. Her out-of-the-ordinary nail paint hit just the right note.

3.Anna Lynn McCord

The sexy ‘90210’ star sported neon yellow nail paint at the MTV Movie Awards. The television actress is often seen in brightly colored dresses and over-the-top make up, so her wearing this color was not surprising at all. She carried off the color well and paired it a bright orange scarf which added a nice touch.

4.Rihanna

Rihanna’s new flamboyant look is something that has made her into a different personality altogether. Emphasizing this image, she flaunted her nails in a deep yellow color with black art on it – something which became a trend thereafter.
