The Victoria’s Secret runway was full of pink, but Megan Moroney took the theme all the way to her fingertips. For her October 18 performance, she wore a soft pink velvet manicure with stripes and tiny metallic angel wings. The custom art is wonderfully specific; if it's the luminous pink base you love, Bessie’s Pink Cat Eye press-ons offer a similar light-catching mood.

Byrdie’s October 19 report explains how nail artist Zola Ganzorigt combined a dimensional pink base, signature stripes, and reflective wing details. The manicure felt like a miniature souvenir of the show—part nostalgia, part grown-up shimmer.

What are pink velvet nails?

Velvet nails describe a soft, diffused shimmer that seems to glow across the surface, rather than a single sharp stripe. Nail artists often create the effect using magnetic pigments. Cat-eye nails use related light-reflective techniques, but the reflection can be more concentrated. Both finishes shift as your hands move.

That makes them a lovely alternative to flat pink polish. The color stays delicate, while the shimmer adds something to look at. Pair them with a white blouse, gray knit, or silver jewelry for an everyday version of runway sparkle.

Three Bessie ways to try the mood

Pink Cat Eye brings a lilac-pink magnetic-style shimmer to a medium almond shape. If you want the same luminous idea in a quieter neutral, Nude Cat Eye has a champagne sheen on a soft nude base. Neither copies Moroney’s stripes or wings; they capture the glow.

For a more playful romantic detail, Ballet pairs sheer pink nails with soft white hearts and tiny silver rhinestones. It's a sweet option when you want decoration without an all-over print.
