Mannequin Hands at the Golden Globes
“Mannequin Hands” made their way down the Golden Globes red carpet on the tips of Fergie and Mariah Carey last night. What a fun coincidence that they are both singers in nominated films rocking the flesh toned polish. Of course you need to look past Mariah’s in-your-face cleavage to even notice her nails but perhaps that why she chose such a subdued shade.
Those of you who have seen Nine, is there any angle I can sell the boyfriend on to get him to see it with me or is this strictly a take-your-girlfriends type of flick?
What do you think of their mannequin hands? Are you feeling Fergie’s extreme oval shape? What colors would you guess they’re wearing?
Golden Globe Nail Watch – Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson surprised me on the Golden Globes red carpet. Known for her boho chic style, this structured Marchesa gown threw me off guard and I seriously don’t know HOW she made it through the night in those shoes. I feel wobbly just looking at them.
To contrast the bright white hue of her dress, Celebrity Manicurist Deboarah Lippmann chose a cherry red creme for her nails. See which shade she used on Kate and check out my swatch of the nail polish after the jump! |
Golden Globes Nail Watch – Gabourey Sidibe
I have yet to see Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire but from what I hear, Golden Globe Nominee Gabourey Sidibe, gives an amazing performance. Considering how much the Hollywood Foreign Press tends to favor the new kid on the block, I was actually amazed that she didn’t take home a golden statuette last night.
In the sea of purple, black and gold dresses on the red carpet last night, Gabourey really stood out in her emerald green gown. Though what caught my attention was the bit of bling on her tips that matched her sparkly clutch. It’s a party after all, why not add some glitzed out glamour? Celebrity Manicurist Kimmie Kyees was on hand to tend to Gabby’s manicure and she used a layering combo for maximum bling. At first glance I thought she was wearing silver chrome Minx but instead Kimmie layered the glittery Essie Silver Bullions over metallic silver Essie Loophole. |
Both Essie Loophole and Silver Bullions are available online at Essie.com and in salons including national chains Regis, ULTA and Trade Secret.
What do you think of Gabourey’s nail look? What would you have paired with that gorgeous shade of green?

Golden Globes Nail Watch – Sandra Bullock
This really is Sandra Bullock‘s year. Not only was she a double nominee at tonight’s Golden Globes but she WON for The Blind Side. I have yet to catch the film but just the trailer makes me tear up. I may have to wait for it to hit DVD so I can ball like a fool in the privacy of my own home.
Most people probably noticed her vibrant purple gown but I narrowed right in on her greige putty-ish tips. I immediately thought Chanel Particulière. Come to find out Angela Levin did Sandra’s makeup using Chanel products. I don’t have confirmation on the exact nail color but if I was a betting woman, I’d put my money on Particulière. Here’s the scoop on the rest of Sandra’s look from Angela:
“When I walked into Sandra’s room, I saw that she was in an incredibly relaxed, happy and free spirited mood. I wanted her makeup to reflect her serene state of mind!”
“I prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Cream. Her eyes were a mixture of CHANEL shadows – Silky Eyeshadow Duo in Orient-Express, and Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Trace. I then lined the eyes with CHANEL Long Lasting Eyeliner in Violine, a deep, soft purple shade. On her cheeks, I used CHANEL Tweed Blush Duo in Tweed Rose. Finally, on her lips she wore CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Beige Felin.
What do you think of Sandra’s look? Do you agree with my Particulière prediction? If not, what’s your guess?
Golden Globes Nail Watch – Marion Cotillard
Nine star Marion Cotillard stunned at the 67th Annual Golden Globes wearing a rich green Dior gown. Considering that a lot of the celebs played it safe on the red carpet, Marion drew my eye the second she stepped on the carpet.
Celebrity Manicurist Deborah Lippmann was on hand to tend to Marion’s nails and I’ve got the scoop on her vampy nail look. See close up shots of her manicure and find out what shade she wore after the jump! |
