The 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2022, were presented on February 26, 2023, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, California.
Celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec created the stunning nail look on SAG-nominated and winner, Jessica Chastain using "Lights Lacquer's Voulez-Vous." Kandalec chose this color because the pearly white shimmer of Voulez-Vous perfectly complemented Chastain’s gorgeous almond-shaped nails. Kandalec wanted to create a natural look that reflected on the red carpet (and would look gorgeous holding the SAG statue!).

Emily Blunt, wearing Chanel, wanted a red color to match her dress. Gitane popped perfectly against the tomato red of the dress. For toes, she wanted a pinky nude to pick up some of the warm colors in the flowers, but because she was wearing red open-toed stilettos, she needed the perfect tone found in Égerie.
