Demi Lovato returned to their pop-punk roots with a medley of their most iconic tracks for their performance at the VMAs. 

Inspired by Lovato's latex performance outfit, celebrity nail artist Natalie Minerva (@natalieminervanails) created a clean black nail look using products from OPI

“Demi is wearing a sleek latex look for her performance so we decided to pair it with a clean black stiletto nail," Minerva shares. "Inspired by their outfit, we wanted the nail look to have a similar feel and replicate the material. As we enter the spooky season, black is the new red.” 

Below, Minerva shares a step-by-step breakdown for creating the look, so you can recreate it for your clients looking for an edgy look this spooky season.

  4. Finish with one coat of shiny top coat.
