Did you know Adele loves a good manicure? Look at any photo of the star and you'll always notice she has perfectly polished nails. While she often sticks to wearing classic, elegant styles, she's experimented with bloody French nails and gunmetal polish with cool chrome. Over time, we've gotten to know the singer for her incredible vocals and timeless glamour which she's brought every weekend to her Vegas Residency, but it's finally time for her nail close-up.

Recapping weekend 43 of her Vegas Residency on Instagram, the singer posted photos of her performance in a quintessential Adele look. For the show, she wore a custom JW Anderson black gown that had shimmers of gold detailing that must have been the inspiration for her manicure. In the first slide, the 36-year-old looked camp right in the eye, showing off her black and gold fancy French manicure.

Her manicure was more than meets the eye. At first glance, it just looks like her almond-shaped nails were painted in a French style using black polish for the tips for a moody feel. Like any typical French mani, it had a pink glassy base. But, if you look closely, you'll notice a thin strip of gold that borders her entire nail. The attention to detail and fancy gold flecks made her nails feel like a tiny little painting. The manicure genius behind the look was none other than Zola Ganzorigt, who works with stars like Hailey Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter.

The rest of the "Hello" singer's look followed the timeless black and gold color palette. For beauty, she wore her golden blonde hair straight and wore a glittery gold eyeshadow that twinkled in the lights. She paired her eyeshadow with thick black eyeliner and long lashes. She finished the look off with super-bronzed cheeks, dark brows, and a matte rose lipstick. Inspired by the sparkling details, her makeup artist, Anthony Nguyen, called the look as "Diamond" makeup.

Although minimalist manicures are shaping up to be one of this summer's biggest trends (just ask Bella Hadid and Anne Hathaway), there's something so special about a manicure that looks like a work of art. Petition to hang Adele's latest manicure in the Met!
