When KATSEYE hit the red carpet at the 2026 Grammys, we were instantly obsessed with their coordinating custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin gowns and gorgeous beauty details—including their equally coordinated but still unique manicures!
The group turned to manicurist Naomi Yasuda for their big night, with each member rocking a custom design in shades of white and silver. “Having worked with the girls since the beginning, seeing them perform at their first Grammys was a milestone moment,” Yasuda shared in a press release. “I wanted to create designs that felt both personal and purposeful.” For the red carpet, the group opted for “sophisticated lace and crystal chrome accents.” During their performance of “Gnarly," Yasuda switched things up with “bold and edgy” details. “Every design was tailored to their individual personalities while keeping the group’s aesthetic cohesive. I hoped these nails would boost their confidence and make them feel unstoppable during their big moments.”
Ahead, get the full breakdown of each KATSEYE member's Grammys manicure.
Sophia
Sophia went full ice queen with frosty, pale silver nails tipped with silver chrome. For the base, Yasuda used OPI's GelColor in Hands in the Clouds, a shimmery sheer white, then created the French tip with Super Gloss No Wipe Top Coat and GelColor in Black Onyx topped with silver chrome. Teeny crystals at the base of the nail added a touch of sparkle. (Yasuda used the professional GelColor products, but these shades are all available as regular polish too.)
Manon
Manon's French manicure wasn't your basic pink and white design! Yasuda added silver chains to the tips for extra-cool texture. For the base, Yasuda applied two coats of GelColor in Tiramisu for Two, a lovely cream shade, then mixed Super Gloss No Wipe Top Coat and GelColor in Black Onyx for the French tip, topping it with silver chrome powder and adding the tiny chains to each tip.
Daniela
Daniela's nails were an intricate, lacy dream. To create the textured base, Yasuda used OPI GelColor in Alpine Snow and a white lace stamping gel, then finished with top coat and silver chrome powder. You don't have to be a pro to create a lace effect; you can buy lace stamping pads for your own DIY manicures, though you may want to practice a bit for a steady hand.
Lara
For Lara's long, stiletto-shaped nails with 3D silver details, Yasuda used a mixture of OPI's GelColor in Alpine Snow and acetone, airbrushing the combo to the middle of the nail for an aura design. To create the silver 3D texture, she used a combo of OPI Super Gloss No Wipe Top Coat and GelColor in Black Onyx, then topped it with silver chrome powder. Yasuda repeated that process several times, then added studs as the finishing touch.
Megan
Megan's nails were sleek and shiny, starting with a silver chrome base and ending with a clear tip and major gemstone detail. For the base, Yasuda applied GelColor in Black Onyx, topped with chrome powder, then mixed GelColor in Alpine Snow and acetone as an airbrushed design to the edges and applied a large crystal to the center of each nail.
Yoonchae
Yoonchae also rocked a lace design. Her long, almond-shaped nails were stamped with a white swirly design and accented with crystals. Yasuda used GelColor in Put it in Neutral for the base and created the lace design with GelColor in Alpine Snow, finishing with crystals.
