For the “How To Get Away With Murder” actress Viola Davis, Kandalec chose a bold seasonal color all over the nail. “Fall foliage was the inspiration behind Viola’s red carpet look. We chose Essie’s Bordeaux, a deep red, to complement her bold berry lip and burnt orange Zac Posen gown,” says Kandalec.

For Mandy Moore, Saunders created a chic half-moon manicure. “Inspired by the pink tourmaline stones in Mandy’s jewelry, I created a subtle nail art look using Essie’s classic Ballet Slippers at the moon, topped with Essie’s Muchi, Muchi, a creamy pink mauve, on the remainder of the nail. The finished look was soft, yet playful,” says Saunders.
