What’s better than saving a celebrity’s gorgeous red manicure for your next nail inspo? Finding out that what they used was from the drugstore. Anne Hathaway‘s “cherry noir” nails are a perfect example, since they were achieved by using Essie’s Gel Couture Nail Polish in the shade Model Clicks.
Celebrity manicurist Mo Qin swiped the shade on Hathaway for the Verity premiere, proving that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get red carpet-ready nails.
“We chose a deep, dark red for Verity to bring a slightly mysterious and dramatic feeling to the nails, tying the look back to the mood of the film and her character,” said Quin.

Essie’s gel polish line is a fan favorite for several reasons. No matter what shade you choose, the formula delivers the glossy look of a gel manicure without requiring a UV lamp. If you’re into moody reds, Model Clicks (as seen on Hathaway) is a must-have for your collection. The rich aubergine-wine shade sits somewhere between deep burgundy, plum and nearly black. Plus, it’s perfect for fall; in certain lighting, you can see those wine-toned undertones, while in others, it takes on the dramatic depth of an almost-black manicure.

If your nails are brittle or need some TLC, Essie says the chip-resistant formula uses its flex.e gel technology, designed to bond and move with the nail rather than chip easily. When used with the coordinating top coat (and with the top coat reapplied on day seven), you can get up to 15 days of wear.
Ready to switch shades? There’s no complicated removal process, unlike a traditional salon gel manicure. You can remove Model Clicks with regular acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover, with no soaking or scraping required. That makes it an easy way to get the glossy, dark-nail look without committing to an actual gel manicure.
One Amazon shopper called it the “perfect nail polish,” noting that it’s “highly pigmented,” dries fast” and has amazing color payoff.
