The perfect addition to the little black dress

If red is the main attraction on Valentine's Day, pink is its funky understudy. Nothing jazzes up an LBD – or a pantsuit – faster than a rosy manicure. For this V-Day (and night), choose a splashy shade in the fuchsia family, which strikes just the right balance between sexy and sweet.
