The Genius Way Julia Roberts Repurposed Last Week's Manicure For the Critics’ Choice Awards

Julia Roberts knows her way around nail trends and how to clapback at haters who diss on her manicures, but she also knows how to revamp a look from one red carpet to another.

Always on trend, Roberts's gold manicure from the Golden Globes was transformed into an edgy, angled french manicure for the Critics' Choice Awards, thanks to a swipe of black polish over the top of the gold base. Genius.

The manicure was created by Mazz Hanna, the talent behind many of Roberts's nail designs, who explained, "The geometric shapes of Julia's dress inspired this new shape, we wanted to keep everything simple and minimal, but with an edgy flair." Hanna says, "Throwing on an angled tip to an existing manicure is an easy way to freshen your nails." So here's (red carpet approved) proof that there's no need to start a new mani from scratch when you can just add to the base.
