We hope you'll pardon the pun here ... but who's got her finger on the pulse of what's hot? Rihanna, that's who. Known for starting trend after trend, from day-glo nails to razor-sharp short haircuts, this gal seriously always knows how to keep things interesting. And while watching her video for "If I Never See Your Face Again" with Maroon 5, we spotted the next big thing. Rihanna's talons were a gorgeous shade of bright crimson that simply oozed sexiness and sensuality. We're totally dying to have her manicurist do our tips, too ... but in the meantime, we've scrounged up the five bests that will have your heart racing.
Lippmann Collection Nail Color in Lady is a TrampThe classic red nail has never looked this good. Celeb manicurist Deborah Lippmann sure knew what she was doing when she created this polish, the perfect go-to shade of red when you're feeling a little bit saucy.
