Why choose a predictable french manicure when you can jazz up your outfit with a nail color that packs just as much punch as a show-stealing accessory?

Victoria Justice, star of Zoey 101, showed up to the MTV Video Music Awards in a simple pink shift dress and a blue manicure that matched her peep-toe pumps and sweet satin clutch. Alone, the dress would have been unremarkable at best, but with such catchy accessories, Victoria caught the eye of red carpet photogs and fashion fanatics alike.

To pull the look off at your next formal, choose an understated dress and pair it with colorful heels, a coordinating purse, and shiny coat of nail polish. Try red extras with a yellow frock, pink accessories with a navy number, or yellow add-ons with a jade dress.
