Amy Adams. You know how you use highlighter to make your skin radiant and dewy? Well, the same principal applies to nails. After painting Adams's nails a sheer rose (created by layering HIPPxRGB S3 and S4) to complement her champagne shoes, manicurist Jenna Hipp layered one stripe of pearly polish (HIPPxRGB Highlight) down the middle of each nail. "The point, like highlighter for the face, is to keep nails looking glossy and healthy," says Hipp. Adams requested it specifically, but she wasn't the only one paying attention. "Amy's daughter, Aviana, was in the room watching her mommy get ready… it was the most precious thing I've ever seen.
