Celebrity nail artist Eri Ishizu made a bold statement at the ’24 Emmys with Ayo Edebiri’s dazzling, black metallic nails. Ishizu’s custom nail design featured a blend of shades from the new OPI Metallic Mega Mix Collection, mixing and applying polish to create a radiant metallic underlay that beautifully highlighted Edebiri’s striking black nail look.
“I drew inspiration from Ayo’s stunning Bottega sequined dress and knew that combining metallic with sheer black would achieve the exact effect we envisioned,” said Ishizu. She added, “The nails turned out to be the perfect accessory, seamlessly blending fashion with a standout nail moment.”
Get the Look:
- Buff nails smooth and apply OPI GelColor Super Base Base Coat to each nail. After each nail is painted, place under OPI’s Star Light Gel Lamp.
- For Nail Lacquer version use OPI Natural Nail Base Coat.
- To make this custom color, mix OPI GelColor Chrome Clawz and OPI GelColor SaTURN Me On with a tiny bit of OPI GelColor Super Base Base Coat applying a very thin coat to each nail.
- For Nail Lacquer version use OPI SaTURN Me On and Chrome Clawz
- Then, you’ll mix OPI GelColor Black Onyx with OPI GelColor Super Base Base Coat to make it a jelly-like texture. Mixing these products will make the polish opaque for the metallic to show through underneath. Apply two coats of this black mixture to each nail.
