Not only did Carly Rae Jepsen sweep last night’s MMVAs, taking home three awards and performing twice—she also took the nail art spotlight away from manicure enthusiast Katy Perry. Jepsen’s sparkly tips were hard to miss on stage, and given her multiple wins and performances there was plenty of on-camera time to scope them out.

Best of all, just like Jepsen, the manicure was totally homegrown, done by none other than Leeanne Colley, owner of Tips Nail Bar and Revlon’s nail expert. “Carly kept saying, ‘I’m all about whatever you want to do,’” Colley told us, which resulted in a totally playful and definitely unique look. Colley started by adding a bit of length to Jepsen’s natural nail, with stiletto-shaped tips.
Revlon Colorstay Long Wear Nail Enamel in “Stiletto” (a rich shade of black) was the basis for the design, but each nail was adorned with its own glitzy element, including 3D holographic glitter and black-to-silver fades. One nail was painted with a watercolour effect, and two were painted with hearts—which coincidentally matched Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” dress. And there was another heart on her fingers: Colley pierced the nail on Jepsen’s ring finger with a heart-shaped charm that dangled all night long and clearly brought some good luck as well.
