L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Collection Privee in Eva's Nude

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Collection Privee in Eva’s Nude

3 coats

I was excited to try the shade that actress Amy Adams wore to the 2014 Golden Globes. Nudes are such great "palate cleansers" and certainly very work-appropriate. I do love that there's a hidden shimmer in there- if I am going to wear a nude, I want it to have some sort of special feature to make it pop a bit.

AMY ADAMS

NAIL ARTIST: Tom Bachik

INSPIRATION: Tom and Amy wanted to create a very clean, classic nail look so as to not distract from her bright red Valentino dress and sparkly jewelry. They chose a full coverage nude that was a bit lighter than her overall skin tone but picked up the highlights and luminous tones of her complexion.

After prepping nails, Tom applied two coats of L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Collection Privee in Eva’s Nude ($5.99) and finished with L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Top of the Line top coat ($5.99).

NOTD: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy

Today's mani is the shade worn by Naomi Watts to the Golden Globes this year. Naomi was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture--Drama. Celebrity nail expert Tracey Sutter created the look for Watts using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy to create a natural effect.

To get the look, Sutter filed down Naomi's nails very short before applying Sally Hansen's Cuticle Instant Remover.  Next, Sutter applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen's new Complete Salon Manicure Nail Color in Arm Candy - giving Watts just the right amount of color she wanted.

Just like Naomi's mani, my mani pictured above is two coats. The shade is so sheer, I don't think a third coat would have added any opacity. It is definitely a natural look- glancing at my nails, they actually looked like they weren't polished, but looked quite nice.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is an all-in-one formula that combines all the 7 benefits of a professional salon manicure—a base coat, a strengthener, a growth treatment, rich color, top coat, gel-like shine and chip resistance —in a single multi-tasking polish ($7.99).

OPI At the Golden Globes

Actress Claire Danes walked the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards red carpet wearing sheer pink OPI nail lacquer in Passion to complement her bold red Versace dress. Danes won Best Actress in a Drama Series at last night’s award ceremony, and the show in which she stars – Homeland – was also given top honors as Best Drama Series.

Model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley joined presenter Jason Statham on the red carpet, also wearing the soft hue Passion.

“Both Claire and Rosie wore bold dresses – Claire in rich red and Rosie in dramatic black – and the sheer pink, ultra-feminine lacquer shade Passion gave their nails a classic, polished look,” said OPI celebrity manicurist Beth Fricke.
