Why would a nail art enthusiast watch the Golden Globes? The celebrities, their nails? Nope. Unfortunately most celebrities are quite conservative when it comes to red carpet manicures so I watch it for one reason only, to get some nail art inspiration! Big award ceremonies are amazing in that sense because only the best dresses make it to the red carpet. Then you just need to pick the dress you like the most and interpret it as nail art.
So, true to the SoNailicious tradition (see the Golden Globes 2014 and the Met Gala 2014) we’ve turned 5 of the Golden Globes 2015 best dresses into nail art. Enjoy!
