Alexa Chung’s Peekaboo Manicure

Feb 21, 2012 @ 4:15 pm

Alexa Chung showed off her good spirit at London Fashion Week! The British model/host attended the Burberry fashion show with eye-inspired nail art that looked like a ten-finger interpretation of the Evil Eye charm meant to ward off bad luck. This design can be recreated with a steady hand and a nail art brush. Or, if you want to save time, pick up a sheet of Topshop’s temporary nail tattoos, which contains 86 tattoos in 10 different mystical patterns ($14; topshop.com), and can be applied over the nail color of your choice in five seconds flat.

Pantone declared Tangerine Tango the color of 2012, and stars like Jennifer Hudson, Vanessa Hudgens, Rashida Jones, and Alexa Chung have already incorporated the hot hue into their beauty routines. Tangerine is a sunnier, warmer alternative to the traditional red, and even better, it flatters almost every skin tone. Case in point: a punchy citrus pucker looks great on both Hudson and Jones, while Hudgens and Chung both tried a spring-appropriate mandarin polish. Tell us: Will you be wearing orange makeup this year?
