The Met Gala is the epitome of couture and fashion and this year was no different. All eyes were on New York as the stars took to the red carpet donning opulent gowns and accessories. These looks often take weeks and even months to prepare and the glam squad behind each celebrity is working overtime to make sure every little detail was covered, this included getting the most glam nails to complete the look.

We may not have a glittering gown with a ten-foot train to hand in the back of our closets but we can certainly emulate the red carpet nail looks. CND™ was the polish of choice for many of the celebs at this year’s Met Gala, and you too can recreate these manicures at home and bring the Met Gala to you!

Iconic nail brand CND™ partnered with Celebrity Nail Artist Betina R. Goldstein to design unique nail looks for Lili James, Shawn Mendez, Emma Chamberlain and Gemma Chan.

Betina used CND™ Shellac™ in the shade Veiled for Lili James, complete with the CND™ Shellac’ Original Top Coat and CND™ PLEXIGEL™ Builder as an adhesive for the crystals that matched her stunning Versace gown.

CND™ Shellac™ Veiled £11.95/ €14.95

For Shawn Mendez Betina used CND™ Shellac™ in the shade Winter Nights to create a navy base for the Tommy Hilfiger inspired nails. CND™ Shellac in Decadence and CND™ Studio White completed the Tommy Hilfiger logo with their famous red and white.

Emma Chamberlain’s nail inspiration came directly from her look. Betina hand-painted and sculpted 3D Cavetto Molding using CND™ Shellac™ in Cream Puff complete with CND™ PLEXIGEL™ Builder and CND™ Shellac™ in Rubble for shading.

CND™ Shellac™ Cream Puff £11.95/ €14.95

Gemma Chan went for chrome nails with silver hardware and a silver chain nail bracelet that matches her goth-inspired black and silver gown draped in chain detailing. Betina used CND™ Shellac™ in Black Pool and CND™ Shellac™ No Wipe to create this dreamy, metallic nail look.
