The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, known as The Met Gala, chose as this year’s exhibition theme, “The Garden of Time.” The fashion and beauty on the red carpet was full of florals, botanical elements, and --of course--drama.
Singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter took the theme all the way to her fingertips, with a manicure by Zola Ganzorigt using OPI.
“Sabrina has been wearing a lot of blue lately, which is a great color for her and really enhances her eyes. The black and blue fairytale gown she wore is so elegant and classic. To complement the look, I used OPI “It’s a Boy!” with Chrome Effects in ‘Tin Man Can’ and adorned the nails with rhinestones.” - Zola Ganzorigt
