Recreate Cynthia Erivo’s Tony Awards Nails With This Step-by-Step

06/09/2025

Broadway is BACK! Everyone’s favorite witch, Cynthia Erivo, hosted the 78th Annual Awards show honoring the best of “The Great White Way” and, of course she brought vocals, but her nails deserve a standing ovation! 

Erivo, herself a Tony winner, is known to experiment with her sets and her manicure for the Tony Awards, created by Celebrity Manicurist Mycah Dior using Aprés Nail, was spectacular. Summery, thanks to floral elements, but futuristic too with chrome details. We’re in love.

Read on for a breakdown on the style!

Get The Look:

  1. Take Vampire Drunk and a bit of Never Bordeaux You, and mix them together. Draw French tips using the mixture
  2. Take Dusky Dawn and airbrush an aura effect on 2 nails.
  3. Sculpt orchids or flowers of your choice on those 2 fingers, and add highlights using Virgo Away and Dusky Dawn in the center of the flower.
  4. Apply embellishments of your choice and chrome details on the remaining fingers.
  5. Apply the Non-Wipe Glossy Topcoat and you’re finished!
