The highly anticipated 2022 Emmys aired last night, and the hottest stars of television brought some serious looks to the red carpet.

From vibrant French tips to ultra-minimal manis, here are the nails that stole the show.

Selena Gomez’s Emerald Glitter Moment

Manicurist Tom Bachik has been creating the most enviable manis for the actor, singer, and Rare Beauty founder — and these Emmys nails using four different shades of green from OPI might just be the best yet.

HoYeon Jung’s Creamy Mani

Tokyo-based manicurist Yoko Sakakura went for an understated manicure à la How You Dune! by Aprés Nail (launching tomorrow on their site, ICYWW) for the drop dead gorgeous Squid Games breakout star.

Lizzo’s Ultra-Long Ruby Red Tips

Red nails are in for fall — and Lizzo’s nail artist, Eri Ishizu, seriously nailed this look using OPI’s Red-Veal Your Truth (pun very much intended).

Kerry Washington’s Floral Chrome

Subtle from afar yet stunningly beautiful up close, celeb nail artist Kim Truong created a unique floral chrome work of nail art for the actor.
