If Cara Delevingne has news to report, she usually says it on Instagram. Whether it’s her latest campaign or a brand new tattoo, you can bet it’ll be up on her page in an hour or two. So when she hit the the 2 million followers mark yesterday, she posted an extra special selfie.

Cara is the latest star to wear a message on a manicure, as she posted a snap of her acid green nails with 2 Mil written in garish yellow. But just in case we didn’t pick up on the not so subtle mani message she captioned the picture: ‘2 MILLION FOLLOWERS!! I love you all you bunch of nutters!! Never change!!! Thanks @sophynails’ She’s literally wearing her followers on her fingertips – perhaps a reminder to keep herself tapping away on her iPhone.

Nail art is the craze that just won’t die in celebville, but it’s not just about a touch of sparkle or a random doodle, stars are using their manicures to send out messages. Zoeey Deschanel matching her mani to her mood or occassion. Her nails tell us things like ‘I’m at the Golden Globes,’ ‘I’m an actress’ and ‘I am a Beatles fan.’

Beyoncé and Katy Perry have used their manicures to show their relationship statuses, as Bey sported ‘I am Mrs Carter nails’ and K Pez (back in the day) wore ‘I am Mrs Russell Brand Nails.’ Katy Perry is of course the queen of mani messages, as she tells us everything from who she is voting for to her stance on monarchy via a fresh coat of nail varnish.

Who could forget when Lindsay Lohan sported F*** U nails in the courtroom – a not so subtle message to the judge. But LiLo later tweeted ‘It had nothing to do w/court.. it’s an airbrush design from a stencil.’ Hmm the jury is still out on this one.
