Heidi Klum: Nails by Celebrity Manicurist Tom Bachik for L' Oreal Paris

Tom Bachik can do no wrong! I have become rather friendly on Social Media with both Tom and his wonderful family and, of course, watched him as a judge on Oxygen's show Nail'd It. I admire his work and love what he does with L'Oreal Paris in terms of creating new colors and new product collaborations. It was only natural that I wanted to show him some love after seeing he was doing Heidi Klum's nails last night...hello to her wonderful Make Up Artist Linda Hay, too (we go way back)!

Heidi Klum (NAILS)

MANICURIST: L’Oréal Paris Global Manicurist, Tom Bachik

INSPIRATION: “Heidi wore a beautiful yellow Versace gown and to allow it to own center stage, we kept her nails simple. She’s gearing up for a trip overseas, so we shaped her nails shorter than they’ve been recently – Heidi loves having gorgeous long nails – and polished them cleanly so that the look would last not only for Emmys night, but wear nicely into the next week or two.”

STEP 1: First, Tom filed nails into a classic round shape.

STEP 2: He next applied two coats of L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail ($5.99), allowing her natural nail to be slightly visible through the sheer hue.

STEP 3: Tom advises maintaining a manicure using L’Oréal Paris Glow Renewal Facial Oil ($24.99); a drop on each nail 1-2 daily will keep nail color looking fresh and shiny, and cuticles hydrated.
