Your favorite Met Gala manicures used OPI shades that you can cop almost anywhere
At the 2018 Met Gala, themed “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” all eyes were on Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and Hailee Steinfeld as they hit the red carpet with OPI manicures to match their on point gowns.
Yes, you heard us right!
All of these stars used OPI nail polish for their manicures, done by OPI’s very own Tom Bachik. Tom’s work was all over the Met Gala red carpet, and you can cop all of these shades pretty much anywhere OPi is sold – even your local Target.
Kim and Kendall went for similar nude nails to match their looks, using OPI GelColor Put it in Neutral. Hailee did the same, but followed with a subtle finish in OPI GelColor in I Couldn’t Bare Less. Selena went with a custom blend of OPI GelColor A Mirror Escape and OPI GelColor Top the Package with a Beau for a gold shimmer. Jennifer Lopez went with a deep red manicure in OPI GelColor Malaga Wine, to go with her dramatic gown.
OPI brand ambassador, and celeb manicurist, Tom Bachik, gave the stars custom manicures using many different OPI GelColors. See below for the all over, get-the-look breakdowns – that way you can try these manicures at home.
