For the record, taking a photo of oneself with your hands in it and making it appear natural is extremely awkward! Promising young woman nails: Why do my paws seem more significant than my head in this picture?
Once we watched Promising Young Woman last weekend, I had to wear rainbow nails again immediately. Carey Mulligan plays Cassie in this thriller, a young adult in her 30s with a tragic incident that forces her to leave medical school, return to living with her parents, and pursue other goals. Although some retaliation is involved, I don’t want to reveal too much.
During the film, Cassie sports a pastel rainbow manicure that occasionally takes center stage.
I found out that the manicure was the writer/director Emerald Fennell’s idea while reading about the film’s styling, and an amusing fact for you: she is the actress who portrays Camilla Parker-Bowles in The Crown!
Cassie’s nails and makeup serve as both her armor and a weapon in a symbolic sense. Her innocent sweetness sometimes hides her rage.
I only intended to have a little fun with my rainbow-painted hands, but I understand the need to use makeup as protection.

Detail In Promising Young Woman
On the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK’s March issue, Carey Mulligan spoke with the magazine about her entire skin-care regimen, including how her minimalist approach differs from her role in the recently released Golden Globe-nominated movie Promising Young Woman. Mulligan used her hair and cosmetics to transform into her role for the film, including vivid wigs, bold eyeliner, and a fanciful manicure.
Mulligan’s persona is binary: By day, she goes by Cassie, a woman who resides at home with her parents and works as a barista in a bubblegum pink coffee shop. By night, she’s leveraging the masculine gaze against them to lure self-described “good guys” into a dark trap.

Mulligan explains, “My character invents different characters. “Makeup is crucial since she often presents herself in entirely distinct avatars. It was so much fun to go from far extremes as an article of true body-con clothing and hair pulled back into a Kardashian style. She then assumes the role of a young, impressionistic adolescent.”
Despite the switching roles, Cassie’s vibrant and mismatched manicure. Which Mulligan claimed truly helped her get into the role—remains a tiny bit of glam continuity throughout the film. “Each finger on my manicure in Promising Young Woman was painted with a distinct pastel color. I could never keep it up in real life, but I liked having it for the movie because it was so lovely.”
