Lana Condor's hair and makeup [2] at the MTV Movie & TV Awards were so stunning, we wouldn't blame you if you didn't notice her nails at first, but the To All the Boys I've Loved Before [3] star may have had the best manicure of the night. While the silver sequins of varying sizes, which matched her floor-sweeping, sequinned Giorgio Armani gown [4], looked like the main attraction of Condor's manicure, the backs of her nails were just as noteworthy. She was rocking the latest "flipside" manicure trend [5] with a hidden pop of sparkle underneath her nails.

Celebrity manicurist Thuy Nguyen [6] achieved the eye-catching nail art on Condor using OPI products. To get the look, start by applying a coat of OPI GelColor Stay Classic Base Coat [7] ($14) followed by two layers of OPI GelColor in Lincoln Park After Dark [8] ($20, originally $36). Next, embellish the nails with sequins and seal them in with the OPI GelColor Stay Shine Top Coat [9] ($14). For the bottom of the nails, apply the base coat again followed by two coats of the OPI GelColor in Halo There [10] ($21) to add sparkle. Then, seal that in with the topcoat.

The "flipside" manicure trend was most recently demonstrated by celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik on Selena Gomez [11] for the Global Citizen's Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World event earlier this month. Whether you go with a red Louboutin manicure like Gomez's [12] or opt for a hint of sparkle like Condor did, the flipside manicure trend is an easy way to subtly make a statement.
