Blake Lively [2] is still on our manicure mood boards [3] after holding the top spot for almost two consecutive weeks. It all started with the reverse french manicure [4] she wore at the Michael Kors New York Fashion Week show. Then on Feb. 28, she attended the premiere of "The Adam Project," and if you look closely enough, you can spot the unique nail-art look she sported.
Lively donned a long, half-up ponytail [5], and her makeup was minimal with only a soft smoky eye to emphasise her green eyes — the rest was kept very natural. Her manicure saw the same treatment and was mostly painted in a neutral hazelnut colour, the LeChat Perfect Match Gel Polish in Cocoa Kisses [6] ($16), but her manicurist, Elle Gerstein [7], added a small nail-art detail: mini moons. Gerstein told POPSUGAR that she "added the moon shape brushing from cuticle to centre, left to right and right to left with LeChat Perfect Match Gel Polish in Peach Charming [8] ($16)." After two coats and curing in between, she finished off the look by applying a final clear topcoat for an extra boost of shine.
What's even better was that Lively's manicure perfectly matched the peach stones [9] in her Lorraine Schwartz bracelet, as well as the peachy tones in her Versace dress. We are fully here for this subtle monochromatic moment and will definitely be taking a page out of her manicure playbook when we go to our next appointment. Take a closer look at Lively's manicure below.
