The Emmy Awards may be all about honoring the best TV shows of the year, but the night's red carpet beauty looks never disappoint. Along with soft, pretty neutral eye makeup, orange lips, and center parts galore, the 2019 red carpet has delivered a handful of must-see nail art that is begging to be the inspiration at your next manicure appointment.  

This year, the stars took a glam approach to their manicures by adding a ton of sparkly details to their nails. A few examples: Billy Porter's crystal-encrusted silver nails and Lyric Ross's gold-foiled accent nail.

Color was also a major trend. Jameela Jamil had a matchy-matchy moment with her coral nails and lips, while Regina King's magenta nail polish popped against her turquoise gown. 

Here, we've rounded up all of the can't-miss celebrity manicures from the 2019 Emmy Awards red carpet.

Subtle French tips using essie's Call Your Bluff were added as a final detail.

Right down to her nails, King's red carpet look was all about color. Nail artist Desiree Abhiram of Frenchies Nails chose essie's Jamaica Me Crazy, a shimmery magenta, to compliment the star's turquoise gown.

The Russian Doll star gave the negative space manicure a spin. She left the lunula bare (the white half moon at the base of the nail) and painted the rest of the almond-shaped nail black. Gold lines tied in her metallic dress.

Some may match their lipstick to their gowns, but the Pose star has made a case for coordinating your lip shade to your manicure. Her coral nail polish was nearly identical to the lipstick she wore .

Whimsy and romantic was the vibe of King's Emmys manicure. Nail artist Thuy Nguyen drew red harts on her ring and pinky fingers for a fun detail. Nguyen worked with essie's Gel Couture Nail Polish in Bubbles Only, while Minimalistic served as the base.
