Lady Gaga's 2019 Oscars Nails Debuted Essie's Spring Collection

From her old-school French twist full of swoon-worthy swoops to her all-black Alexander McQueen gown with matching opera length gloves, Lady Gaga completely slayed the red 2019 Oscars carpet. But the accessory we assumed was just a classy detail, was actually hiding a major debut we didn’t see coming. The singer and actress sported a brand-new, never-before-seen nail color on her tips, debuting essie’s spring 2019 nail collection.

The A Star Is Born actress took home her very own Oscar win and accepted her golden trophy, sans gloves, showcasing barely-there pink tips that were the perfect complement to her stately, but glam look. The singer and actress wore a nude with hints of pink shade, Stirring Secrets ($8.99), from the floral-inspired spring collection and it might just be our favorite nude polish yet. Expect this nude lacquer to sell out quick, especially since it’s backed by Hollywood’s belle-of-the-ball, Mother Monster herself.

To get Lady Gaga’s nails red-carpet ready, celebrity nail artist Miho Okawara paired the new shade with essie’s Here to Stay Base Coat ($9) and Speed.Setter Top Coat ($10) for mega-shine. And we applaud Gaga for her decision to keep them simple and understated. You truly can’t go wrong with a nude hue.
