How to do Anne Hathaway’s ‘coconut jelly’ nails at home
Jelly of Anne Hathaway’s red carpet manicure?
From “glazed donut” nails to the return of French tips, the internet loves a new nail trend. So when celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik described Hathaway’s “End of Oak Street” premiere look as a “coconut jelly gloss mani” on Instagram, it immediately sparked dozens of headlines.
And while Hathaway’s Bvlgari jewelry and Prabal Gurung top aren’t quite in our budget, the secret to her trending mani is just $10: Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Polish in Arctic Jelly.
After completing the “perfect prep” with his Tweezerman nail tools, Bachik applied the unique icy white shade for a minimalist mani.
From Essie’s Jelly Gloss collection, the buildable color can be layered with other shades or worn on its own. (Consider sticking to one coat for an opaque effect, or applying multiple coats for a juicy, coconut milk-esque look.)
Bachik knows a thing or two about Hollywood trends, given he regularly works with everyone from Selena Gomez to Jennifer Lopez.
It’s far from the first time Hathaway’s worn Essie polish; she used the Gel Couture Polish in Sheer Fantasy for a press junket earlier this summer, before wearing the Fairy Taylor shade (layered with Mademoiselle) for the NYC premiere of “The Odyssey.”
Her “Devil Wears Prada 2” co-star Emily Blunt is also an Essie devotee, as her manicurist, Julie Kandalec, revealed on Instagram that she used multiple shades — including the near-black brown Always Morphing — in the iconic sequel.
Now, we’re girding our loins for a “coconut jelly gloss” August.
