Kerry Washington's Braid and Glittery Nail Art Are the Perfect Holiday Party Pair

Updated on Dec 12, 2016 at 8:00 AM

Kerry Washington rocked the perfect holiday-party-ready beauty look at the Critics' Choice Awards. The actress complemented her festive star-printed Elie Saab dress with a side braid and metallic eye shadow. Though the overall look was pretty flawless, thanks to other details such as glowing skin and a glossy lip, it was her nail polish that made us stop and stare.

On Instagram, Kerry shared the details of her glittery, goth manicure. She layered OPI My Voice Is a Little Norse over My Gondola or Yours. This hack — coating a basic color with a glittery one — is an easy way to get statement nails without needing artistic skills. Kerry also collaborated with OPI on a nail polish line, which you can read about here.
