butter LONDON's Global Colour Ambassador Katie Hughes created true nail art Monday night, using delicate lace and stones from Emmy Rossum's Met Ball gown to embellish her tips. The design, while gorgeous, also happened to be the most original beauty tribute to the Met's "Punk: Chaos to Couture" theme that I saw. Here's why ...

That's all great, but punk style was built around DIY fashion, artistic expression, and using unconventional materials in new ways. The fab Katie Hughes managed to capture all that with one killer manicure (on nude nails no less) - it's brilliant! More important, here's how you can make the look your own.
