I Just Re-Created Elsa Hosk’s Perfect Neutral Engagement Nails With Two Iconic OPI Colours

It’s been quite the year for celebrity engagements. First, we had Zendaya and Tom Holland, summer saw Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and, as of yesterday, Elsa Hosk and Tom Daly. While most people get excited to see their engagement rings, as a beauty editor, my eyes are firmly on their engagement nails. And Elsa Hosk’s are among the chicest I’ve ever seen yet.

We often see Elsa wearing a sheer, milky manicure or a sheer pink hue, and her engagement nails are no exception. The neutral hue, paired with long almond-shaped nails, is a classic combination. Not only does it make for a timeless engagement manicure, but it’s also an eternally chic nail colour that transcends seasons and nail trends. And if you are anticipating someone popping the question, or you’re a bride-to-be looking for wedding manicure inspo, then this is a manicure that you certainly won’t regret when showing off your ring.

While we don’t officially know what nail colour Elsa Hosk is wearing (I’ve been keeping a close eye on her usual go-to nail tech, @jenny.jennys). However, having studied sheer manicures and spoken to celebrity nail techs—as well as trying out milky manicures myself—I have a hunch that Elsa may be wearing two very iconic OPI nail colours.

I’m taking an informed guess that Elsa’s manicure is a combination of the iconic Funny Bunny, layered with Baby, Take A Vow on top. Elsa’s engagement nails have a sheerness to them, which both of these colours provide, and Funny Bunny creates a milky white base, while Baby, Take A Vow adds a touch of cool-toned pink that almost leans slightly lilac.

I put my theory to the test below, applying two thin coats of Funny Bunny, and two thin coats of the aptly named Baby, Take A Vow on top—it’s the perfect bridal pink. And I have to say, this might be a very close match if you want to replicate this look on your own nails. I used OPI’s nail polishes for my manicure, but you can also request these two shades in the salon if you want gel nails. That being said, if you want a gel nails alternative, then I swear by Essie’s Gel Couture Top Coat, a nail polish top coat that applies and looks like gel, but keeps my nail polish chip-free for between 7 and 10 days.
