Last night’s Grammy Awards brought out the best in celebrity nails. Nail art played a huge part in the event with the return of E!’s Mani Cam allowing the focus to be on nails and nail art. While celebrities walked the red carpet, they could also strut their fingers down the Mani Cam’s red carpet so we at home could get a full glimpse of what was on their nails. Social media also helped us get an inside glimpse of Grammy-ready nails.
