Dancing with the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff sashayed onto the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards in a ballroom-esque peplum dress—and that wasn’t the only thing influenced by her day job. Her bright yellow manicure included a detail inspired by her dance partner Jacoby Jones’s Baltimore Ravens jersey number. “They’re yellow and I have a purple number 12 on my ring fingers,” Smirnoff told InStyle.com of her look. “The reason for that is that it fits the outfit [from Monday night's competition]. I don’t have a lot of time to turn around from the MTV Movie Awards to being live on Dancing with the Stars, so I’m rocking yellow nails with a red dress. I know it’s a no-no, but there’s nothing I can do!” We love the nail shout-out!

When it comes to her manicures, Beyoncé always sets the bar high. We couldn’t help but notice her latest design—the patterned digits she had on her fingers as she started doing the motions to her “Single Ladies” dance in her new Pepsi commercial. Beyoncé chose the NCLA nail wraps in Umoja, which were designed by Melody Eshani. The pattern is Eshani’s interpretation of how colorful Maasai jewelry would look as a textile print, and we love how each finger gets its own unique design. Pick up a set for $16 at shopncla.com now.

Fresh on the heels of OPI‘s Skyfall-inspired collection, the nail brand is looking to James Bond once again to launch a six-piece nail polish range based on the franchise’s most-memorable vixens. “It has been a thrill to create color for the women who have captured Bond’s attention over the last six decades,” said OPI co-founder and Artistic Director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “Worn without a top coat, these Liquid Sand lacquers give nails a pebbled, matte finish worthy of captivating the Bond girls’ name.” The shades range from the Ursula Andress-inspired gold to high-impact brights, and we love how each polish imparts a fashion-forward matte effect in just one swipe. The Bond Girls collection hits stores in May for $9.50 per bottle—but you can get a sneak peek at the entire lineup right now in the gallery.
