Those following Rahul Khanna on Instagram are used to his great photography skills. Or, if we are being honest, the subject &mdash; him. Followers were in for a pleasant surprise recently when he posted a picture of himself with a manicure, with black matte nail polish. While he aced it with panache, it can get tricky for others. Stylist Anuja Mehta tells us how to carry it off.

Remember when Evanesence's debut album Fallen released in 2003, and everyone went for the black nails, kohl and outfit combination?

If the son of the top fashionista and heartthrob footballer &mdash; Posh and David Beckham &mdash; Brooklyn is wearing it, it must be right.

While he killed the look as Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp's blue manicure is ideal for everyone. An all-blue nail polish is the easiest to pull off, but don't wear an outfit in a shade that clashes, like yellow or orange. A flashy, shimmery polish works for events and night outs, but avoid it during the day.

With his yellow nail colour, musician Seal lives up to this title of his song. Pick an outfit in a contrasting shade, as long as they aren't shiny or have shades that pop. Yellow is a rather fun yet subtle shade. But avoid it if you're extremely fair skinned.
