Spring is almost here, which means one thing—we all suddenly care about colors again.
Shades of pink? A whole debate. Blue? No longer just blue. And red? It has to be the red. Not too orange, not too dark, and definitely not boring.
Zoë Kravitz understands. That’s why, for the 2025 Oscars after-party, her nail artist Betina Goldstein didn’t just pick any red polish. No, bestie. She went on a mission.
“I must have pulled about 27 red nail polishes from my collection to find the perfect red,” Goldstein shared on Instagram.

The kind of red that makes your hands look expensive, your rings shinier, and your whole vibe instantly more put-together.
And guess what? They nailed it. A red so good, it might just break the internet.
Goldstein applied two coats for a rich, opaque finish and topped it off with a high-shine top coat for that fresh, just-did-my-nails look. The result? A manicure so good it’s about to send everyone running for red polish this spring.
This isn’t just a nail color—it’s a whole lifestyle.

Soft pink blush from Nina Park? Flawless. That deep side-parted updo by Nikki Nelms? So sleek, you might actually attempt one yourself—flyaways and all.
So yes, Zoë Kravitz’s nails were everything. But the real win? You didn’t have to sort through 27 reds to find the best one. Thanks, Betina. Now, who’s trying that updo?
