Vanessa Hudgens’s nails are perfect for those out there who don’t know what color or shape to ask for at their next nail appointment. Her choice is fun, flirty and makes for a super cute nail design for this upcoming holiday season.

As per the star’s nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt, Hudgens is currently rocking an iridescent, glittery nail color that’s just everything. The cat eye shine of the color is divine, and serves as a shimmery light that can brighten up any outfit. A bit of praise is also certainly warranted for the way different colors of color appear with every move. The gorgeous almond shape, sharp enough to add that daring edge, yet rounded enough not to worry about the nails interfering with everyday activities, is an added bonus.

Tips and tricks for flawless DIY nails

Before starting the nails, always begin on freshly washed hands. Then, gently trim and shape the nails into an almond shape. If the shape isn't achievable with natural nails, purchasing any of these acrylic nails will be a great substitution:

• BTArtbox Nails XCOATTIPS® Medium Almond ($14.97)
• Glamnetic Press-On Nail Kit ($16)
• Melody Susie Soft Gel Nail Tips ($9.99)

To ensure the gel color lasts for several weeks, start off by applying a clear base coat, curing the base and then applying the cat eye gel nail polish evenly across the nail. Put as many coats of the nail polish and builder gel as desired, while curing between each coat.

If not using a gel product, apply the polish like normal, wiping and cleaning up the surrounding area each time.

After the final layer and the final cure, clean the nail and get ready to strut your stuff.
