How-To: 2 Red Carpet Nail Tutorials

Nail Artists Natalie Minerva and Eri Ishizu created red carpet worthy looks on Halsey and Ayo Edebiri at their respective premieres. 

Minerva (@natalieminervanails) created a starry sparkly gold manicure for Halsey's appearance at the "MaXXXine" premiere, while Ishizu (@eriishizu) opted for watercolor nail art for Edebiri's attendance at "The Bear" season three premiere. 

Both artists used products from OPI to create their respective looks and are sharing their tutorials, so you can recreate the looks! 

Halsey's Golden Starry Nails 

Minerva was inspired by the 80s to create Halsey's golden nails with starry stencils. She also shares that she was inspired by the "step and repeat" of the movie. "MaXXXine" is the third film in the X series set in 1980s Hollywood and follows adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx as she tries to avoid a mysterious killer called the "Night Stalker." 

1. Apply one coat of OPI GelColor Stay Classic Base Coat.
2. Apply two coats of OPI I Mica Be Dreaming Gel Nail Polish to give the nails a nice shimmer. 
3. Lay down stencil stickers gently after the color coats are completely dry, and with a makeup sponge, lightly spot over the stencils using OPI Black Onyx Gel Nail Polish. 
4. Finally, lift the stencils off with tweezers and finish with OPI GelColor Stay Shiny Top Coat. 

Ayo Edebiri's Watercolor Nails 

"Ayo loves soft, airy vibes for nails," shares Ishizu of her inspiration for this set. "The dress was also an inspiration." Edebiri wore a Loewe strapless floral gown to the premiere. 

1. Apply one coat of OPI GelColor Stay Classic Base Coat. 
2. Apply OPI My Me Era shade in "Lookin' Cute-icle" and OPI Your Way shade "Without a Pout" to create a marble/tie-dye design.
