Jennifer Lopez Just Unveiled A Manicure That Will Be Big In 2024
Less is more in the manicure department nowadays. Whether itās the short, milky nails we saw at Chanelās Cruise 2024 show, or the shift away from nail art, weāre going naked on our nail beds to start out the new year. Thereās no better example of this than manicure icon Jennifer Lopez, whose latest manicure was all about her natural nailsāwith a shimmering twist.
A new spin on the ālip gloss nails,ā the look features a glossy effect, thanks to shimmering particles in the polish that catch the light. Lopezās longtime manicurist, Tom Bachik, dubbed the look a āNew Yearās celestial shimmer nudeā. Executed on ballerina-shaped nails, this one is sure to catch on soon.
Here are our favorite elements of the look:
The shape: BallerinaThe ballerina manicure was the most popular short nail shape on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival last year. It got its name due to the fact that it adopts the same shape as traditional ballet shoes: straight at the tips, oval at the sides. As luxurious as it is discreet, it āfits in perfectly with the quiet luxury aesthetic,ā explains Lara Royo, brand manager at Mavala.
The color: Transparent, with shineāThe key to pulling this type of manicure off is to choose a natural but high-shine nail color, and to take care of the cuticles and hands so that they always look perfect,ā adds Royo. The result is a barely-there effect which, at first glance, doesnāt appear glazed, simply very well tended to.
