All The Crazy Met Gala Manicures You Missed

Celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein created this metallic burgundy nail look with a crystal embellishment on Blake Lively. It matched her custom Versace dress perfectly, but no doubt took less than 600 hours to make.

Mei Kawajiri is the nail artist you need to see if you're after a three-dimensional look. She created this gold-and-crystal manicure on Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie for the Met Gala.

Kawajiri also created this milky gold manicure for Bella Hadid's Met Gala beauty look, which complemented her gold makeup and the accents in her Chrome Heats gown. The YSL nail polish shade she used is sold out, but you can get a similar god shade below.

Manicurist Tom Bachik used a custom blend of OPI Mirror Escape and Top the Package With A Beau to create the nail look on Selena Gomez.

Ariana Grande's Vera Wang dress was inspired by the Michelangelo paintings in the Sistine Chapels...so her nails were, too.

Manicurist TracyLee also went the burgundy-and-gold manicure route for Olivia Munn. We love how the 'nail armour' design picked up on the metallic details of her chainmail H&M dress while also matching her lipstick shade.

Rihanna's manicurist Maria Salandra partnered with Tammy Taylor Nails and Swarovski to create this super-embellished manicure to match her custom Maison Martin Margiela gown.

If you can focus on Ashley Graham's manicure, you'll see that she wore a nude nail polish shade from Revlon with half moon cross details created my celebrity nail artist Mar y Soul.

Emilia Clarke also went the nude mani with cross details route. Manicurist Alicia Torello used Orly nail polish in Kiss the Bride and Party In The Hills to get the look.

Manicurist Angie Aguirre created this graphic black, white, and glittery gold manicure on Janelle Monae.

Gigi Hadid's Versace dress was inspired by stained glass windows—as were her nails. Kawajiri handpainted every detail to match the colours and patterns in her gown using all OPI nail polish.

Naomi Yasuda is known for her intricate and details manicures—just look at the one she whipped up for Nicki Minaj at the Met Gala. It has everything: black-and-red ombré, metallics, and cross designs.

Katherine Langford walked her first Met Gala red carpet with her nails—and fingers—dipped in gold paint by manicurist Steph Stone.

Stone created a pretty and subtle thematic manicure for Lili Reinhart. She used a pearly pink base (Essie Handmade of Honour) then layered fold foil on top to create metallic flecks.

Yasuda proved that you don't need long acrylic nails to work a nail art look fit for the Met Ball as evidenced by this glittery French tip situation on Joan Smalls.

Kim Kardashian West had Katy Perry fly her these long, glue-on Patti Yankee acrylic French nails on her private jet from LA to NYC.

Rita Ora wore a crackled silver mirror manicure for the Met Gala (though you wouldn't have been able to see them through her black Opera-length gloves).

As usual, Cardi B did the absolute most for her Met Gala manicure and we love her for it. She relied on her longtime manicurist Jenny Bui to create these pearl and stone ultra-long nails.
