Win the chicest nail polish to hit the scene since Chanel's Vamp: KnockOut Nail Polish, specializing in matte shades that look ah-mazingly edgy on fingers and toes.

Our first love was Flatte Black (pictured) -- a favorite of Taylor Momsen and Karen O -- which left our tips with a velvety finish that morphed over time into a soft, minky satin. But then we tried Karen, a true red matte shade that's perfect for spring, and fell instantly in love. Concieved of by makeup artist Mike Potter, the entire line consists of four shades, plus a genious matte topcoat that turns any polish matte (!).

Nailed It: Springs Hottest Tip Trends

Been-there red? Played-out pink? We think not! The trendiest celebs are rocking daring hues on their digits – think inky black, sunny yellow, turquoise, and chocolate brown. "The right polish can be as transformative as a change in hair color or a new lipstick," says hair and makeup guru Robin Narvaez of Salon Eliut Rivera in New York City. But you can't be shy! These polishes are pure va-va-voom!

These days, The City star Whitney Port has become a trend-setter extraordinaire, so be on the lookout for turquoise nails. Keep your other makeup light and neutral and make sure nails are super short and square – long, turquoise talons are a definite no-no.

Shiny black polish has been around now for a few seasons, but the new twist is a girly/goth matte finish, which looks equally great on fingers and toes to toughen up a white or pastel Spring look.

Yellow? Who would have thought it could look so fierce! It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're wearing a neutral tone from head to toe a shade this vibrant acts as its own accessory.
