Celebrity nail artist and OPI Global Ambassador Zola Ganzorigt added a touch of cosmic elegance to Sabrina Carpenter’s red carpet look at the MTV VMAs.

Carpenter had two different looks for the night. In order to compliment both, Ganzorigt (@nailsbyzola) created a stunning holographic manicure using OPI's new Big Zodiac Energy Collection

"We wanted to create a manicure that seamlessly complimented both her jewel-studded performance look and glamorous red carpet ensemble," Ganzorigt shares. "Pulling inspiration from her journey on [the Eras] tour, we opted for a pop of sparkle to capture the essence of her ‘Bejeweled Era.’”

Below, Ganzorigt shares her step-by-step breakdown for creating this shiny look below.

  1. Apply one coat of OPI GelColor Stay Strong Base Coat
