Sienna Miller's off-duty festival manicure proves that this hue is the staple of the summer

While some summertime events may call for bold and specific designs, Sienna Miller's nails prove the power and versatility of classic neutrals...

Case in point, Sienna Miller's appearance at Glastonbury where she paired a chic, minimalistic outfit (as is to be expected from the star), with an equally simple and stylish manicure.
