Get the Nails: Chappell Roan’s Bejeweled Cat-Eye Mani

Chappell Roan’s first outing on the Resonator Awards red carpet was a study in goth glam. The multi-hyphenate singer/songwriter paired her upcycled, beaded black Xi Scorpii corset with jewel-encrusted nails that celebrity manicurist Rachel Sun created to match its darkly romantic aesthetic.

Sun used Aprés Nail products to build the look.
