The Nail Color That Dominated The 2019 Emmys Red Carpet

For most, award events offer eye candy by way of dazzling gowns and jaw-dropping beauty looks. However, those in the know realize it's all in the details. Yes, in addition to the dresses and flawless updos, the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet also featured nails that served as perfect fodder for you fall style feeds.

At this point in the game, it's fairly safe to say nails are having a moment — a beauty renaissance if you will. After the gel phenomenon became mainstream, things were a bit quiet there for a while on the nail front. However, with the rise of powder-dip digits and the strong resurgence of larger-than-life nail art, it seems all eyes are on the hands.

This year's Emmy Awards ceremony made yet another case for the recent nail extravaganza, as celebrities paid special attention to their digits, making them key components and active players in their red-carpet ensembles. Case in point: Ava Duvernay. The actor complemented her stunning metallic gown with chrome nails that delivered an added pop of glam to the look. Not to be outdone was Kerry Washington, who showed her support for the always-sleek noir nail. The actor's bold and dark mani offset her glittery pant outfit perfectly (which was a conversation-starter in its own right).
