Best Dance/Pop Recording nominee, Zara Larsson, brought sunshine to the Grammys with a 3D, beaded yellow nail design to match her sequinned two-piece set. The fun and floral style was the creation of celebrity nail artist, Juan Alvear, using Aprés Nail.
Naomi Yasuda tended to the nails of K-pop girl group, KATSEYE, creating a range of silver chrome looks using OPI. From metallic French-style tips to silver 3D embellishments, the nails were different but cohesive – just like the stars’ outfits.
Best New Artist winner & Man I Need singer, Olivia Dean, took home her trophy in style, as LA and New York manicurist, Eri Ishizu, added shimmering rhinestones to a chic pink-nude nail base using OPI.
Juan Alvear was busy at the 2026 Grammy Awards, also crafting an eye-catching mix ‘n’ match manicure for award nominee, Teddy Swims. The bold blue, black, grey and white look featured 3D silver charms and chrome, and was created using Aprés Nail.
OPI ambassador, Zola Ganzorigt, was behind Sabrina Carpenter’s pearly nail look, which matched her elegant red carpet dress. Zola created the star’s dazzling French tips using shimmery white shade, Kyoto Pearl, and Tin Man Can Chrome Powder.
Celebrity nail artist, Rachel Sun (@allhailthynail), crafted a ‘vintage chrome’ manicure and pedicure for Best Music Video winner, Doechii. Aprés Nail was used to fashion copper chrome French-style tips, and Rachel suggested on Instagram that 2026 will be the year of bold pedicure looks.
