Lupita Nyong’o killed it on the SAG Awards red carpet in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The 12 Years a Slave star swooned with a stunning teal Gucci gown, an intricate floral collar, and rich metallic gold nails by Deborah Lippmann. I was inspired by the SAG Award winner’s look and recreated an interpretation of her ensemble.
What you will need:
- Essie Protein Base Coat
E.L.F. Cosmetics’ Pot of Gold
Tweezers
1. Prep the nails with a base coat.
Step 1
2. Apply two coats of the gold metallic polish.
Step 2
3. While the polish is still wet, use the tweezers to pick up and place a rhinestone in the top center of the nail.
Step 3
4. Apply the top coat by dropping a bead of polish on the jewel. Spread the polish evenly around the rhinestone and nail. Swipe polish across the tip to lock in the look.
