ZOOEY DESCHANEL'S PINK PAIRING

"I love this look for the holidays because it’s traditional, but with a dash of festive flair," Tom Bachik, who did Deschanel's mani, tells PEOPLE. The L’Oréal Paris pro added a "fun, modern twist" to the star's tips by placing a thin strip of electric pink nail art tape (similar to these) horizontally across each nail for a pop of color that still feels polished.

TAYLOR SCHILLING'S BOLD BORDEAUX

"Taylor's bright red patent leather pumps were the inspiration for her deep red nail," reveals the actress's nail artist Michelle Saunders. "Her stylist Penny Lovell asked, 'Should we match the shoe color or slightly contrast it?' I pulled out a few shades and this striking wine was an easy choice."

JENNIFER GARNER'S CRYSTAL CLEAR MANI

"The most interesting and surprising celebrity request as of late has been a clear, glossy nail. My clients feel comfortable and confident without color, even on the red carpet," dishes the star's manicurist Jenna Hipp. "Especially for you cooks, this look is flattering and virtually chip-proof. One swipe of a base coat and swipe of a top coat adds a touch of healthy shine that's much better for your nails than traditional buffing."

JENNY MCCARTHY'S MAROON

"This color gives you all the chicness of a classic red, but with a sophisticated edge," advises McCarthy's manicurist, Sally Hansen nail ambassador Tracylee. "You can make even it dressier by adding a metallic accent, like a gold stud at the cuticle. And of course, an almond shape is my favorite."

"This classic color is perfect for the holiday season," says Portman's manicurist Millie Machado, who warns that red nails must look pristine, so "after your application is complete, use dip your nail brush in nail polish remover and carefully clean around the edges of the nail."

LUCY HALE'S GLIMMERING GRAY

"We first chose a gray because it's seasonally appropriate without being black or a deep red, which can get old after a while," says her manicurist Christina Aviles. "To make it special, we created an ombré effect by dabbing a silvery polish on about a third of each nail, starting from the free edge."
