Kerry Washington's Crystal Nail Art at the Emmys

The Tiny — and We Mean Tiny — Detail That Made Kerry Washington’s Emmys Beauty Look Shine Brighter

Kerry Washington's Crystal Nail Art at the Emmys

Kerry Washington walked onto the Emmys purple carpet with a look that sparkled (and no, we're not just talking about her pants). Fans might have missed a tiny detail of Washington's nail art that made her beauty look shine even brighter: the hidden gems she had glued beneath the tips of her nails.

Manicurist Kim Truong posted a video of the manicure she created for Washington, which was painted with a black nail polish. Each nail had crystals across its top (her accent nails had strips of the studs pasted from cuticles to tips), but the video revealed the hidden rocks that she also had under each of her fingertips.

"Shining bright from every angle . . . Black Stretch Limo," Truong she said in her caption for the post, which also tagged the rest of Washington's beauty team. Catch a glimpse of Washington's high-shine manicure ahead.
