The Best of the 2012 Emmys: Manicures

Nails have really stepped up their game to becoming a bona-fide fashion accessory. As you could see at this years Emmys, no outfit was complete without the perfect shade of polish (or nail art, in Zooey Deschanel’s case). Check out some of our favorite nail looks of the event, as well as some great polish ideas based off of the best colors seen on the red carpet!

P.S. Did I mention they even had a “mani-cam” on the red carpet this year? Yup, celebs would come by and show off their perfectly polished fingers by actually “walking” their nails down their very own red carpet.

+ Zooey Deschanel really caused a Twitter stir when people got sight of her adorable Emmy themed nail art! She never seems to let us down when it comes to her nails (remember the tuxedo nail art she did a while back)? Amazing!
