"Into the Woods" producer Jordan Roth turned heads at the 2023 Tony Awards with a floor-length black dress with a bedazzled, hooded scarlet overcoat. 

Roth finished off the look with red lips, a sequined head and a stunning red manicure to match. Celebrity nail artist Sonya Meesh (@sonyameesh) created Roth's nail look using products from Manucurist Paris

If you want to recreate this dazzling and sophisticated nail look for your clients, look no further. Meesh shares her step-by-step tutorial for creating this magical look below. 

How-To: 

  1. Buff the nail to create the perfect base. Then, clean the nail using an alcohol or acetone-free remover on a lint-free wipe. 
  2. Apply one coat of Green Flash Base Coat, then cure for 1 minute under an LED lamp. 
  3. Next, apply one coat of Green Flash Red Cherry, and cure for 1 minute. Then, repeat for a second coat of Red Cherry. 
  4. Frame the nail with loose brush strokes with Green Flash Red Hibiscus — the more variation the better!  
  5. Repeat with Green Flash Dark Pansy in the areas of the nail not brushed with Red Hibiscus, and cure for 1 minute.  
  6. Then, apply one coat of Green Flash Top Coat, and cure for 1 minute. 
  7. Finish by applying Manucurist Cuticle Oil and Hand Cream.
