From faux fingers to icicle-inspired manicures.
Epic Nails Ruled the Celebrity Beauty Realm This Week
If month 10 of a life spent largely at home has you yearning for something more glamorous than a sheet mask, you’re not alone—which may be why this week was marked by some of the most major manicure moments in recent memory. For the music video for “Lo Vas a Olvidar,” Billie Eilish and Rosalía found common aesthetic ground in sets of icicle-inspired nails artfully composed of glass and gel by nail artist Sojin Oh. Positioned on clear and lengthy tips, baubles and bubbles mingled in a fluid form that called to mind handblown glass and frozen raindrops.
In an approach more camp than whimsical, Hunter Schafer obscured her own nails entirely, opting instead for a set of fitted gold faux fingertips finished in a matching monochromatic manicure, with a few hardware details thrown in for good measure. Ever the irreverent ingenue, Rowan Blanchard’s shimmering take on the French manicure (executed by Mei Kawajiri) featured pearlescent crosses and romantic decals in addition to saccharine color. And for Cardi B, a pair of armor-slash-boots by Balenciaga called for two hands of gilded talons that elevated the moment from high-shine accessorizing to a full-out futuristic look. So should you find yourself in a bit of a beauty rut, rediscover your playful nature with an out-of-the-box manicure—even if the only person who gets to enjoy it is you.
