Kate Hudson's Critics' Choice and Producers Guild of America Award looks were pure glamour, but her manicure was truly next-level. Celebrity nail artist Brittney Boyce created a glass-like base with raised, organic-looking metallic tips that give a modern twist to the classic French manicure.
French manicures have come a long way since they rose to popularity in the 1970s. Although the traditional sheer pink base and white tips are still a beloved look, the rise of nail artistry and the cancellation of stuffy rules have resulted in so much creativity in crafting contrasting looks.
And just when we think we've seen it all—seriously, we've been collecting inspiration for years—Kate Hudson shows up at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Producers Guild of America Awards with one of the most elegant and ethereal takes on the French manicure we've ever seen. Hudson spent the weekend serving nonstop glamour, first in a backless, black Thom Browne gown and then in a stunning dress with a single sheer sleeve. But while the luxuriousness of her ensembles was obvious, it takes a keen eye to notice that her manicure was just as if not more exquisite: a glass-like base with raised, organic-looking metallic tips that reach around the sides of the nail. Nail artist Brittney Boyce is the mastermind behind Hudson's innovative nail design. In an Instagram post showing the Oscar-winning actor getting ready, she shared the Aprés Nail Gel-X Natural Almond Medium nails. She applied a thin coat of Kuromi's Pretty Journey, a pale pink cat-eye-effect gel polish, followed by magnetic gel. 'I then used the Extend Gel Non-Wipe with a dot of their French Manicure Gel in French Black to create a thin 3D rose gold chrome detail at the tips,' says Boyce, who tells Allure she wanted to do something different. 'The combination of a metallic magnet neutral mixed with rose gold chrome came together to create something so cool and unexpected.' The closeup confirms: This is a next-level French manicure. And how beautiful do those nails look with her rings? Does the opulence ever stop? We can easily see this look inspiring bridal manicures—but even if you don't have getting married or attending a major Hollywood award show on your to-do list this year, we wouldn't blame you if you asked your own nail artist to imitate this heavenly look just for the hell of it.
