With all eyes on the Met Gala red carpet, every detail has to be perfection, from the hair to the nails, to each stitch in the outfit. Sometimes it’s the little things that complete the look, like a fresh manicure or a bold red lip. This year we noticed a trend emerged with several stars sporting jet black nails.
