Joey King did not come to play at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards—her nails were just as iconic as her dress.
The actress, who hit the red carpet in a reworked Miu Miu gown, rocked a periwinkle-meets-glitter mani that was straight-up dreamy, courtesy of her go-to manicurist, Thuy Nguyen.
The Manicure Breakdown: Soft, Shimmery, and Chic
Created by Thuy Nguyen to match the lapel of Joey’s dress, this nail look featured Fairywinkle by @apresnails—a pastel periwinkle blue that added the perfect cool-toned pop.
Underneath all the artsy silver accents? A sheer neutral base called First Touch, keeping it soft and elegant. For that extra sparkle, New Year Wishes was layered on, bringing in just the right amount of glitz. And to top it off? A non-wipe top coat for that glossy, red carpet-ready finish.
Why This Look Just Works
It’s giving ethereal, but make it edgy. Paired with her custom Miu Miu gown—aka a black dress with crystal-embellished sheer panels that basically created the illusion of a bikini top + skirt (and a surprise collar??).
This mani was the perfect balance of soft glam and high-fashion edge. The cool-toned blue played against the dark gown flawlessly, and those silver details tied in with all that crystal embellishment.
How to Get the Look
If you want to recreate Joey’s mani, go for a pastel blue polish, a sheer neutral base, and add silver glitter details for that red carpet-worthy sparkle.
Or switch up the shimmer for gold if you’re feeling extra fancy. Either way, this nail moment is proof that a little bit of glitz goes a long way.
Thuy Nguyen shared all the nail details (with some swoon-worthy photos of Joey) on her Instagram, so if you’re looking for more close-ups of this stunning set, you know where to go!
