Of all the recent nail trends circulating social media, jelly nails have proved to be some of the most versatile, adding a soft, almost translucent, jelly-like finish to any shade, from jam-inspired neutrals to icy blues and greens. Leave it our favorite nail inspiration, Megan Fox, though to take the dainty jelly mani and turn it on its head. For this year’s GQ Men of the Year party, Fox took to the red carpet rocking a spicy, vampy jelly manicure and we have all the details on how to recreate the look yourself.
How to Get Megan Fox’s Red-Hot Jelly Manicure
Fox’s moody, witchy aesthetic is one we often fawn over and her vampire-inspired nails have become somewhat of a staple in her signature beauty look. Earlier this month, Fox revealed that she’s expecting her first child with partner Machine Gun Kelly, but her appearance on the GQ red carpet is reassurance that she won’t be slowing down her grungey beauty inspo anytime soon.
“We wanted to do something vampy and CND’s Bordeaux Babe ($17) is the perfect shade to bring that to life,” manicurist Brittney Boyce begins on Megan’s GQ mani. “I mixed this with the clear No-Wipe+ Top Coat ($17) to create a jelly, see-through bloody nail look on a long almond-shaped design. This was Megan’s first public appearance since announcing her pregnancy, so we wanted a classic but punchy nail look to complement her beautiful lace-detailed outfit.”
