Billie Eilish dominated both the awards and the red carpet at the 2020 Grammys. She won the Best Album, Song, Record of the Year, New Artist and Pop Vocal Album awards. The 18-year-old is the youngest winner of Record of the Year in Grammys history. Billie recorded her acclaimed album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go with her brother Finneas O’Connell in their childhood bedrooms!
On the red carpet, Billie slayed in head-to-toe Gucci. Her look included an oversized pantsuit, mesh face mask, metallic sneakers, sunglasses and gold hoops. Our eyes were glued to her monochromatic green nails. Her nails sizzled in shades of slime green emblazoned with the Gucci logo.
Emi Kudo is the manicurist behind Billie’s slime-green talons. She revealed on Instagram exactly how she created the eye-catching statement nails. Kudo used a blend of OPI "March in Uniform" and “AmazON…AmazOFF” for the dark green base coat. According to her Instagram, she applied a “custom mix of “AmazON…AmazOFF” and “Sun, Sea, and Sand in My Pants” for the lighter green second layer. Kudo explained that “the gels used for hand-painting logos are my personal neon green gel and OPI’s neon yellow "PUMP Up the Volume."
We feel blessed that each of these OPI shades is available for less than $11 at Amazon and Walmart. You can create your own Billie Eilish-inspired nails at home with a little initiative and ingenuity.
If you’re a DIY queen, you can replicate Kudo’s custom OPI blend. Start by applying acrylic nails. (Check out our tutorial here!) Next add a blend of "March in Uniform" and “AmazON…AmazOFF.” After letting your nails dry, make like Picasso by blending “AmazON…AmazOFF” and “Sun, Sea, and Sand in my Pants” into a luminous slime-green hue. Finally, use fine-tipped nail brushes to paint the Gucci logo in "PUMP Up the Volume."
If this approach sounds a little intimidating, no worries. We came up with a lazy girl shortcut to getting Billie’s fabulous nails at home. Lather your nails in ella+mila’s “Mistletoe Magic.” Then apply these Gucci nail art stickers available on Amazon. After this two-step process, you’ll be looking like Billie at a fraction of the cost and effort.
