They brought their fashion and beauty A-game, but celebrities also brought their red carpet-ready manicures. Here, a look at some of the best Oscars 2022 after party nail looks of the evening.

Lana Condor’s Heart-Shaped French Tips

Celebrity nail artist Thuy Nguyen was behind this romantic take on the classic French manicure. For the red and orange, she used OPI GelColors in Heart and Con-Soul and Trading Paint, both of which complimented Condor’s gown.

Hailey Bieber’s Glittery Tips

Though Bieber showed up to the Oscars after party in a slinky camel-colored dress, she went with a more head-turning manicure: a sheer wash of glitter. Nail artist Zola Ganzorigt used OPI’s Mauvnetic Poles for the sparkles.

Sydney Sweeney’s Pastel Ombre

The Euphoria star paired her lilac gown with a set of pastel candy-colored ombre tips, which were done by Ganzorigt using OPI’s You’re Such a BudaPest and Bubble Path.

Billie Eilish’s Square Lengths

Never one to wear a subtle manicure, Eilish rocked extra-long square-tipped nails to the after party on Sunday night. They featured a milky, barely-there French-style tip that ran halfway down the nail beds.

Jessica Chastain’s Champagne Mani

Celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec gave the Oscar winner a very appropriate gold mani for the night. She used one shade of essie’s penny talk, with the shade mani thanks on top for a lustrous finish.
