Captivating Nail Trends from the Golden Globes 2025
The 2025 Golden Globes dazzled both on and off the red carpet, featuring astonishing beauty trends. Aprés Nail was at the forefront, flaunting stunning nail art on some of the biggest stars like Viola Davis, Emma Stone, Kate Hudson, and Nicole Kidman. Let’s dive into some of our favorite nail moments and the talented artists behind these masterpieces.
Jennifer Coolidge x Temeka Jackson
Renowned manicurist Temeka Jackson created a breathtaking look for Jennifer Coolidge. Using Aprés Nail products, Jackson executed a sophisticated design. The process started with shaping and buffing the Aprés Gel-X Tips in Natural Stiletto Medium to perfection. The base comprised a blend of Aprés Gel Couleur in Spring Sigh and Pink Clouds for a soft, elegant feel.
Next came the ombré effect, utilizing the Aer Gel Machine. All layers were carefully cured with a Beta Led Lamp. For the finishing touches, a Non-Wipe Matte Top Gelcoat provided a chic matte finish, followed by a cuticle cuff using a Liner Brush and Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat. A chrome overlay added glamour and durability with a Top Gelcoat X seal.
Viola Davis x Julie Kandalec
Celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec crafted a striking yet sophisticated look for Viola Davis. Kandalec opted for a custom emerald shade by blending Aloe You Vera Much with Birnam Wood, capturing elegance in a deep green hue. Viola’s nails transitioned from square to a new almond shape she adored, thanks to meticulous edge shaping.
The application of a Base Gelcoat and subsequent custom couleur application with two coats ensured the color’s vibrancy. A sheer enhancement using Light & Shadow Sheer Gel Couleur in Renewal added a subtle white sparkle. Viola’s manicure was completed with the moisturizing touch of Winter Returns Cuticle Serum.
Quinta Brunson x Temeka Jackson
Temeka Jackson’s creativity came through in Quinta Brunson’s Golden Globes nails, featuring a bold yet refined style. Aprés Gel-X Tips were shaped to a sharp point for enhanced drama. After buffing and cleaning, Overdone from the Light & Shadow Collection provided an understated yet elegant base.
Additional depth was achieved with a cat eye coat, followed by the distinctive texture added using Diamond Gel and a Thin Art brush. Each nail was treated meticulously, with spot cures and overall curing to set the textured design. Gold chrome highlights enriched the texture, topped with a Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat for a polished finish.
