Since the introduction of the "Mani Cam," walking the red carpet means manicures will be in the spotlight along with gowns, jewels, hair and makeup. At the 86th Academy Awards, butter LONDON Global Colour Ambassador, Katie Jane Hughes, was on-hand to help beautify Kerry Washington and give her a deep, dramatic manicure.
“Kerry had worn a similar red shade of lipstick for the London premiere of Django Unchained and loved it, so she wanted to recreate that lip colour for her Oscar nail look, ” said Hughes.
Nail How To:
- To create the look to complement Kerry’s purple Jason Wu dress, Katie began by painting the nails with two coats of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in La Moss as a base
- She then applied a layer of Nail Lacquer in Saucy Jack to make the nails a bit more red
- Katie finished the look with butter LONDON’s Matte Finish Shine Free Topcoat to make the nails look velvety
