In InStyle's March 2012 issue, editors reported being obsessed with the color fuchsia.

"It's the perfect marriage of pretty and punk," says the magazine. "Hot pink says 'notice me now.' And yes, it's OK if it clashes with the rest of your outfit. That's part of the fun!"

Recommended shades are OPI's Kiss Me on My Tulips and Butter London's Disco Biscuit.
