The period details didn't stop with the hair and makeup. Fischer also created the nails that we see in "Amsterdam," particularly for Robbie and Taylor-Joy. "In the 1930s, [Robbie] has this typical half-moon nail varnish," she says. "But with Margo, we could really push it." To mix things up slightly, Fischer used a dark maroon shade for the nails and added an accent dot to the center of each finger, inspired by Valerie's artistic style.
Taylor-Joy also wore half-moon nails but with a slightly different vibe. "She's the lady of the house, [so] we kept her nails a bit longer and went for a bright, daring red," says Fischer. Whereas Robbie's nails had to be short because she was playing an artist who would frequently be working with her hands, Taylor-Joy "wouldn't do any housework."
