A Closer Look At Lively's Manicure
According to Elle, Lively picked out the colour Rock the Mic by LeChat Nails ($7) a few weeks prior to the event when she was planning her outfit. The glittery black polish matched her Givenchy pantsuit 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 ($7) followed by two coats of Rock the Mic and finished off with LeChat Dare to Wear Top Coat ($7).
For the accent nail, Elle started with a base coat and then applied two coats of LeChat Dare to Wear Black Velvet ($7). She then secured the Swarovski crystals by putting the stones into soaking-wet polish and then letting them dry.
