The Most Memorable Nail Trends of 2011

Instant Classic

The sleek black and silver combo on Lake Bell's nails pairs perfectly with a simple black dress (in a slightly shimmery fabric) and minimal makeup.

Flower Power

Major cosmetic brands introduced playful polish strips in leopard prints, lace and more. Here, Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips in Flower Girl were a relatively subtle choice for this pop star.

Pretty In Punk

A strip of blue-ish hair helps Katy Perry keep her edge in this feminine and flirty look.

Looking Sharp

The popular rounded, square and "squoval" shapes of yesteryear gave way to this trend from the runway: long, cat-like nails in neutral flesh tones.

Meow!

A nude lip and sex kitten hair help Fergie crate an overall look that's seductive yet understated.

Femme Fatalons

The reverse French combined with tips filed to a point gave cherry red nails a modern update.

Vintage Vixen

Inspired by the red nails of the 1940s, this new trend is a perfect match for anyone with a penchant for all things past—like the retro-loving Dita Von Teese.

ON GLO: Beauty Trend Predictions for 2012

One Of A Kind

Polishing a single nail a different shade from the rest became an easy way to make statement with your mani.

Boho Sheen

Shimmery shadow and an eclectic assortment of jewels add to the free-spirited feel of Vanessa Hudgens' look. (To get her gunmetal mani, paint on OPI Nail Lacquer in Lucern-tainly Look Marvelous.)

Picture Perfect

Customized nail decals and stickers made for a whole new form of self-expression. (Click here to search for personalized stickers of your own.)

Romantic Moment

An in-love Nikki Reed opted for a modern goddess 'do and Grecian baubles to complement the nails she'd adorned with fiance Paul McDonald's face.

YOU TELL US: Would your significant other be flattered or freaked out to see his face on your nails?

Orange Crush

With Pantone naming Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012, you can expect lots of lacquers in the bright juicy hue. (For a shade like this celeb's, try Chanel Le Vernis in June.)

Fresh Squeezed

Yes, you can match your dress to your polish, as Beyoncé did in her juicy orange ensemble.

Twinkle, Twinkle

Rich jewel tones (including onyx!) helped give glittery nails a grown-up look. (For nails like these, check out Orly Nail Color Androgynie.)

The Glitterati

Take it from the always-stylish Zoe Saldana: A rich berry lip and fun updo are a chic way to finish off this fashion-forward trend.

Black Out

For luxe nails without the glitter, solid high-gloss black (like Butter London Lacquer in Union Jack Black) became the new standard in elegance.
