The Golden Globes tends to run the glamour gamut, the red carpet serving as a backdrop for a parade of stylized, sophisticated, and funky looks.

“Selena told me ‘I don’t want the nails to get lost in everything,’ so we wanted nails to be an integral part of making this look edgy,” Bachik tells Vogue. “I love a black nail as it can symbolize strength and confidence while looking chic and sexy.”
