2019 Met Gala manicures that are absolutely stunning

WATCH: Stars take the camp theme to extremes at Met Gala

Over-the-top looks took over the pink carpet for this year's Met Gala, in which the theme was "Camp: Notes on Fashion."

But it wasn't only the outfits that caught people's eyes -- the nails did, too.

Elle Fanning showed up with an extra-accessorized manicure, for example, while Halsey rocked stunning spiked red nails.

We are fangirling over Fanning's embellished nails. Celebrity manicurist Mar y Sol Inzerillo said in a statement, "Elle is the definition of camp. She wanted an expressive, bold look, and we went for it."

"We started with Essie's strike a rose, a neon hot pink with a demi-matte finish from the new summer 2019 collection. Then, each almond-shaped nail was pierced and adorned with fun vintage charms, from french fries to Bubble Yum and more!"

While Cardi B's elongated feathered gown might have been among the most talked about at the Met Gala, her blinged out Swarovski crystal nails were a stunning sight to see as well.
