Charli XCX Wore This $13 Glossy Pink Nail Polish on the Cannes Red Carpet

Charli XCX Wore This $13 Glossy Pink Nail Polish on the Cannes Red Carpet
Charli XCX

Charli XCX is the figurehead for all things 'Brat'—an aesthetic based on the title of her last studio album. It's all about the party-girl vibe. Think smudged eyeliner on tired eyes, tousled hair, and bold going-out outfits (bonus points if they incorporate the color of the album, neon green).

However, Charli XCX is currently in Cannes, France, for the annual film festival, and it seems she backed off the Brat aesthetic for something a little more classic and glamorous. The singer was spotted at an event wearing a lavender gown with a feathered shawl. As beauty editors, we couldn't help but notice her manicure, which was impossibly chic and surprisingly classic. After doing some digging, we discovered that Charli XCX's nail artist, Stephanie Stone, used a $13 nail polish.

The Exact Nail Polish Charli XCX Wore to Cannes

Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish - Sheer Fantasy

Here's the exact nail polish Stone used. The fan-favorite light-pink color is right in line with the milk-nail trend that's happening right now. It's slightly sheer and gives nails a clean, polished look.

Essie's Gel Couture line delivers up to 15 days of chip-resistant, high-shine wear. The best part? You don't need a UV lamp to cure it. It's applied and removed like traditional nail polish, except it's way more long-lasting. It's the best of both worlds.
