Celebrity manicurist Elle created created nominees Debra Messing and Rachel Weisz LeChat nail looks. “Debra wore an ombre sequin dress, so went with a manicure that would not blend in completely. The idea was to have her nails look like sequins and really pop,” says Elle. “My signature application is applying two different shades (LeChat Dare to Wear Knights Honor, a gunmetal frost, and Spectra Stellar Stars, a silver holographic glitter) to create a perfect blend that’s not flat or one dimensional. Her nails dried for 1.5 hours before honoring her jewelry by applying a real Vero Krew natural diamond to each ring finger. We selected a Round Diamond ($150 each) to match the round sequins on the dress and round diamonds on her jewelry.”
“Weisz wore a black and white dress, so we wanted to do a mannequin hand and elongate with a nude nail,” says Elle. The celebrity manicurist followed LeChat Dare to Wear Cocoa Kisses with one coat of Innocence.

Danai Gurira wore OPI by celebrity manicurist Tracylee (@luxebytracylee). “Danai Gurira’s nail look was inspired by her custom Rodarte gown. I decided to keep her natural nail length and shape them soft and rounded. OPI Got the Blues for Red is a burgundy red, with the perfect warmth that looks beautiful on her skin tone, says Tracylee Percival.
