Sure, the outfit, hair, and makeup steal our attention right away when it comes to celebrity red carpet style. But at the 2022 BRIT Awards, we couldn’t peel our eyes off the stunning nail art on display, once again proving that when it comes to the red carpet, nails are never an afterthought for these beauty-savvy celebs.
Little Simz wore one of the trendiest manicures right now: the tiny red french. And we particularly loved Mimi Webb’s “disco french manicure” that featured black tips and shimmering embellishments. Adele also reminded us that sometimes simplicity is key with her nude-pink manicure by Michelle Humphrey. But that’s just the beginning: there are plenty more wonderful nail-art creations from the night where those came from.
Zoom in on some of the best manicures of the 2022 BRIT Awards ahead.
