An unexpectedly colorful French manicure plays well with a whimsical acrylic clutch.

Start with a neutral base like Zoya Nail Lacquer in Chantal, $10, Zoya.com.

Then cover everything but the top eighth inch of your nail and paint a vivid fuchsia like Chanel Le Vernis in Exquisite Pink, $28, Chanel.com onto the tips.
