The Clever Detail You Probably Missed on Blake Lively's Latest Nail Art Look

Blake Lively [1] stepped out for the premiere of A Simple Favour [2] in NYC on Monday looking stunning as usual. Ryan Reynolds joined her on the red carpet [3] at the Museum of Modern Art to celebrate the highly anticipated mystery thriller film, which hits theatres Sept. 14. It's hard not to focus entirely on Lively's sharp black suit [4], but if you zoom in on her manicured nails, you'll notice a cool detail that pays homage to her character in the film: a martini glass. (It is used as a symbol throughout the film.)

Celebrity nail artist Elle [5] created the look by using shimmery black nail polish [6] and Swarovski crystals for the martini's "glass" and "stem." This sneaky detail is nothing new for Lively, who usually matches her nails to her outfit [7]. Ahead, see photos of the actress's brilliant mani, and take a look at the exact polish she wore — which only costs $7.

A Closer Look At Lively's Manicure

According to Elle, Lively picked out the colour Rock the Mic by LeChat Nails [8] ($7) a few weeks prior to the event when she was planning her outfit. The glittery black polish matched her Givenchy pantsuit [9] and shimmering blouse.

Elle painted each nail (with the exception of Lively's accent nail, her left ring finger) with LeChat Dare to Wear Base Coat [10] ($7) followed by two coats of Rock the Mic and finished off with LeChat Dare to Wear Top Coat [11] ($7).

For the accent nail, Elle started with a base coat and then applied two coats of LeChat Dare to Wear Black Velvet [12] ($7). She then secured the Swarovski crystals by putting the stones into soaking-wet polish and then letting them dry.
