There’s nothing like the contrast between (self) tanned skin and bright, juicy nail color in the summer. Ensure that those toes stand out in the sand with bold colors like Chanel Nail Colour in Marilyn, a punchy raspberry red ($19 at chanel.com). If pinks are more your thing, go for a vibrant fuchsia like Rimmel Underground Play Fast Nail Color in Punch ($4 at ulta.com). For a kick of citrus, Vinyl Deborah Lippmann in Call Me is reminiscent of a fresh, ripe orange — with just a hint of shimmer for good measure ($9 at bathandbodyworks.com). And keep those neons brilliant with a protective top coat like Zoya Armor Top Coat/UV Block, which prevents chipping and discoloration ($8 at Artofbeauty.com).

If you find a piece of clothing that you really love, why not snag it more than one color? We’ve seen Hayden Panettiere and Fergie both do it with their favorite dresses, and now Mischa Barton’s showing off the same Juicy Couture lace dress in multiple colors. We spotted her wearing the trendy white version a few weeks ago, and she hit the streets of downtown N.Y.C. this week in the mint green version, topped with a straw fedora. And she’s not the only star who loves this particular dress — we’ve seen Debra Messing and Molly Sims in it, too! We think it’s great to find a style you love and stock up. Tell us: Do you buy in multiples?
