Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Opting for a nail design that matches your mood is the perfect way to personalize your glam for a big event. Take the manicure worn by "Outer Banks" star Madelyn Cline in the image above as an example. The actor is well-known for her extroverted personality, which shines through in her fun-filled Zebra print manicure. 

Cline's nail design is an alternative take on French tips that is commonly referred to as an "American manicure." The style is a go-to for beauty enthusiasts looking to recreate the traditionally pale pink French tip in either more natural tones on the base or by using a colorful nail polish palette on the tips.

Manicurist Tom Bachik told Allure exactly why the American manicure is popular. "People can personalize this look with their favorite colors — whether all the tips are one color or every fingertip a different color." The combination of the tuxedo manicure and the American manicure for this look is a genius style choice for Cline, since it perfectly suits any upscale red carpet event while showcasing her fun-loving public persona.
