We’re excited to share Celebrity Manicurist, Brittney Boyce, used Smith & Cult to createthe two-toned and textured nail looks for Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox for the highly anticipated eighth annual iHeart Music Awards last night. Brittney was inspired by the “Alternative Rock Song of the Year” nominee, Machine Gun Kelly’s past wardrobe looks, to create his extra long nails, which were outfitted with piercings, chains & spiked studs. While Barbie nails were the inspiration for Megan’s manicure.
