Rahul Khanna

Those following Rahul Khanna on Instagram are used to his great photography skills. Or, if we are being honest, the subject — him.

Remember when Evanesence's debut album Fallen released in 2003, and everyone went for the black nails, kohl and outfit combination?

If the son of the top fashionista and heartthrob footballer — Posh and David Beckham — Brooklyn is wearing it, it must be right.

An all-blue nail polish is the easiest to pull off, but don't wear an outfit in a shade that clashes, like yellow or orange. A flashy, shimmery polish works for events and night outs, but avoid it during the day.
