Sure, our mouths drop over the sparkling gowns, on-point beauty, and flawless celebrity hair looks of the red carpet, but nothing gets us quite as excited as some fabulous nail art. From muted nudes to out-there neons, A-listers make us stop and stare at their manicures. Read on for some of our favorites from the Met Gala and other red carpet events.
