Weekend one of Coachella may be over, but we’re still talking about the singers (The xx! Justin! Karol G!), the sightings (Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi!) and, of course, the styles (Hailey Bieber in vintage Dior!). Coachella is known as the mecca for fun and flowy festival fits, but Friday night headliner Sabrina Carpenter kept a “Sabrinawood” vibe down to her nails, wearing an Old Hollywood-inspired “vintage glossy red” manicure for her set.

Created by Carpenter’s go-to manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, this gel manicure is a one-of-a-kind custom color created using a trio of OPI classics: vibrant and bright Big Apple Red, Espresso Your Inner Self, a brown crème, and “a sprinkle” of Tin Man Can Glaze ($15) chrome effect for an extra glossy finish. (To copy the look at home, Big Apple Red [$12] and Espresso Your Inner Self [$13] are both available in non-gel polishes, too.)

The result is a glamorous brick-red manicure that feels even more Hollywood on mid-length, almond-shaped nails when paired with Carpenter’s “cinematic volume blowout.” Created by celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto using Redken, the collarbone cut (a shorter style than we typically see on Carpenter) is “all about voluminous, bouncy movement with a refined, structured silhouette” and features soft 1970s-inspired fringe bangs parted at the center for a romantic, face-framing effect. To create lift that would hold up throughout the performance, Frausto used Redken’s Root Lifter Volumizing Spray ($12) from roots through mid-lengths before blow-drying and setting hair with rollers.

And if you were wondering about Carpenter’s “plush” lips, you’re in luck. Celebrity makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez shared that the look was also a custom color, created by mixing Armani Beauty’s Lip Power Matte Lipstick in Devoted, a deep plum ($48), with Armani’s new Cheek Tint in Brick Brown ($40).
