Kate Hudson sparkled from head to toe on the Oscars 2026 red carpet, matching her crystal-embroidered, jade-colored Giorgio Armani Privé gown to over 41 carats — $35 million worth! — of rare green diamonds from Garatti.
But couture and jewelry weren’t the only ways she brought the bling. Hudson completed her Academy Awards look with “diamond dust-infused” nail polish from Essie’s Liquid Diamonds collection.
Celebrity nail artist Brittany Boyce — whose clients also include Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian — layered the luminous Drip Drip hue with Essie’s pale pink Fairy Tailor and Shiny Top Coat for the “perfect iced glazed neutral nail.”
While the Liquid Diamonds collection doesn’t official launch until May, Essie dropped a limited quantity at Ulta Beauty tonight, so shoppers can get their hands (and nails) on it early.
In addition to Hudson’s sheer shade, the polish comes in seven other color — including Frost Yourself, a nod to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”
Unlike most celeb-loved gel polishes, the formula doesn’t require professional tools like a UV light — but it still lasts up to 15 days. (Editor’s note: Having tried the line myself, I can attest it truly does have salon-like staying power.)

The star — who walked the carpet tonight alongside her mom, Goldie Hawn — was up for best actress at tonight’s ceremony for her role in musical drama “Song Sung Blue.”
And while she didn’t walk away with a trophy, it’s safe to say she nailed her red carpet glam.
