We’re obsessed with Emmy WINNER Cristin Milioti’s nails by Celebrity Manicurist Kim Truong and thought you needed to know about them. They’re literally the perfect shape and color, understated but not under appreciated.
Naturally we needed to know more and enlisted Truong to give us a breakdown. She says, “To complement Cristin’s red carpet elegance and after-party style, her nails were kept effortlessly chic with a natural champagne glow — sophisticated, minimal, and perfectly glass-like.” And to get that effect Truong turned to Aprés Nail products.
Read on for a how-to!
Get the Look:
Step 1: Base
- “Begin with Aprés Gel-X® Natural Almond Medium Box Tips for a clean, sculpted almond silhouette that elongates the hands without overpowering the look.”
Step 2: Color
- “Apply two thin coats of Aprés Gel Couleur in Forgotten Film, a soft, muted shade that creates the perfect sheer-to-opaque balance for a subtle champagne base.”
Step 3: Custom Glow
- “Mix a small amount of Après Astral Gel Couleur in Balance with the Aprés Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat. This delicate blend adds a pearlescent sheen and natural dimension to the nails. Apply evenly across all nails for a luminous veil.”
Step 4: Gloss Finish
- “Seal the look with one more generous layer of Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat ($12.99)* to achieve a high-shine, glass-like finish that catches the light from every angle.”
The result:
- “A natural yet elevated champagne manicure that seamlessly transitioned from the Emmys red carpet to the after-party, pairing refinement with subtle radiance.”
