THE budget-friendly polishes needed to recreate Chappell Roan’s captivating nail art have been revealed by her manicurist.
They are available at Target and on Amazon — but you’ll have to be quick to get them while stock lasts.
Chappell dropped jaws when she appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in a feather-embellished outfit — complete with six-inch claws.
Her nail artist Juan Alvear took inspiration from 2003’s Barbie of Swan Lake for the eye-catching look.
“When you look at them up close, each nail mimics the quill of a plucked feather,” Alvear told Vogue.
“I achieved this look using Artic Jelly and Buttercup Jelly from Essie in a gradient from opaque to translucent, then adding in striation detailing.
“I also applied long wisps of ostrich feathers for the full effect.
“I wanted them to have movement and stage presence while Chappell performed.”
Alvear shared a close-up photo of Chappelle’s nails on Instagram, where almost 61,000 people liked the snap.
One fan described the nail art as a “cool way to elevate” the 26-year-old’s entire look, while another said the manicure was “main character” energy.
“If you’re not wearing nails, you’re not doing drag,” a third said.
Others confessed they were fixated on Chappell’s “amazing” talons throughout her time on Fallon’s show.
Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Nail Polishes in Arctic Jelly and Buttercup Jelly are $13 each on Amazon.
The formulas have a “buildable” finish that makes them suitable for sheer or opaque coverage.
Hundreds of shoppers have bought the “salon-quality” nail colors in the past month.
Arctic Jelly and Buttercup Jelly have both been given a whopping 4.4-star rating out of a possible 5.

Customers have praised the speed the polishes dry and the lasting color.

“This polish is so easy to apply…goes on streak-free and lasts almost two weeks, highly recommend!” another said.
“This polish is durable and easy to apply,” a third chimed in.
“I love the color choices and I plan to order another color soon. Please try this brand, you will like it!!”
“This is like a mermaid color and can be put over the top of other colors to change them to a frosty iridescent color,” another added.
