Television's brightest stars shined last night at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, and their nails were no exception.
We break down three nail how-tos below so you can provide showstopping nails to your clients.
Mindy Kaling
Celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen created a fun French tip to complement presenter Mindy Kaling’s sunny, yellow dress.
Get the Look:
- Prep nails with alcohol to remove oil residue.
- Lightly buff nails with e-file, just enough to remove natural shine.
- Brush on Aprés Nail Extend Gel on appropriately sized nails in preparation to cure.
- Hold gel nail down with dominant hand, and use nondominant hand to turn on cure light.
- Once cured, file nails to shape, if necessary, and polish.
HoYeon Jung
Celebrity manicurist Yoko Sakakura created a beautiful nail look on Squid Games star HoYeon Jung, a nominee for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
