Gabrielle Union's swirly black and white nail art matched the contour and pattern of her gown perfectly, but it wasn't a design that came quickly. "I definitely took inspiration from Gabrielle's dress when deciding on what I wanted her nails to look like for the MET Gala. After months of sketching different ideas on paper, off paper, on my iPad and in my phone, I truly gave it a rest a week before the MET," said manicurist Thuy Nguyen. "I like to give myself time to let my ideas marinade and really sink in to inspire me to create a look that I would be completely obsessed with." We're pretty obsessed with it, too. Nguyen used CND Shellac in shades Negligee, Lady Lily, Black Pool, and Silver Chrome.
