    Get the Best Oscar Nail Looks

    Elizabeth Siegel



    "I never know what a client will want to wear on their nails before the Oscars, so I always bring with me my entire kit-over 200 colors," says manicurist Jenna Hipp who painted Amy Adams's neutral, highlighted manicure. (Yup, highlighted! Deets below.) "I usually test four or five options on my client's nails and have her hold it up to the dress as well as her makeup. This time, Amy knew right away and pointed to her pinky finger…a deeper than her skin tone, sheer rose." Here, the secret to that highlighted nail-and our favorite Oscar manicures.

      Rosie Huntington-Whitely. Clearly, neutrals were a popular choice last night. So I love that Huntington-Whitely adorned her nude manicure with some super subtle nail art. "We placed a teeny pearl just above each cuticle, and then a small gold circle right above it," says Kyees, who created the look to match the model-actress's pearl-and-gold bracelet. She created the nude manicure by layering two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy over Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Mudslide. She then used a jewelry picker-upper (they're a little sticky so they make it easy to place teeny appliqués on your nails) to lay the pearls and gold beads (purchased at craft stores) into wet polish. Keyes finished with a sheer topcoat. "It helps keep the beads in place." less
