Can’t decide on one color for your next manicure? Why not follow Tracee Ellis Ross’s lead and wear them all?
The actor teamed up with manicurist Zola Ganzorigt on her latest set, a multicolored manicure in earthy tones that feels both playful and elevated. “Mismatched but perfectly matched,” Ross wrote on Ganzorigt’s Instagram post about her nails, and we’d have to agree!
“Tracee usually sticks to her favorite nude, French, or red colors,” Ganzorigt tells Allure. “But this time she wanted to experiment with new nails, so we went with this and she loves it. It’s her ‘out of my comfort zone’ nail.” Ganzorigt shares that she used 10 different jelly nail polishes to create the look in shades of nude, butter yellow, silver chrome, and dark brown; each nail has its own unique shade, but they all work together in perfect harmony for a cohesive color story.
Ross’s nails were filed into a long, oval shape and the colors chosen ran the gamut from a classic milky pink-white on her pointer finger to a nearly-black espresso brown on her pinky. We love the unique yellow shade, the soft mauve, and a hint of chrome for texture and shine, and the jelly formula makes them stand out even more, especially against her all-white Calvin Klein outfit. It’s the perfect solution for those nail appointments when you truly can’t decide between a handful of hues because each one feels like “the one” for your mood and vibe. But with the right color palette and the right placements, your “mismatched” manicure isn’t mismatched at all! (Another Ganzorigt client, Kylie Jenner, did a mismatched plaid set for Thanksgiving.) Plus, earthy tones seem to be having a moment; Bella Hadid recently showed off a dark taupe hue on the red carpet at Cannes, further proving our point that spring nails don’t have to be sugary sweet.
