Dua Lipa has been booked and busy, and by booked and busy, we mean in the salon. The singer, currently on her Radical Optimism tour, has been serving some of the best summer manicure inspiration as of late. From maximalist checkerboard nail designs to complimenting her mermaid cosplay with a pretty pink seashell manicure, there's a Lipa manicure for every aesthetic. Her latest nail look is equal parts shimmery and minimalist, perfect for summertime.
Throughout the tour, Lipa has been posting behind-the-scenes looks at her performances, travels, and everything in between. Today, she posted a photo dump to Instagram, notifying fans of a new remix and podcast appearance, with a timely "Happy Friday" message in the caption. In the photos, Lipa is wearing a barely-there silver French manicure, giving the usually extravagant sparkly design a pared-back feel.
You'll have to look closely to notice the touch of shine in Lipa's manicure. Her almond-shaped nails were painted with a pinky nude polish, with a swipe of metallic silver sparkle in place of French tips. From Rihanna to Rita Ora and Hailey Bieber, everyone's put their spin on the silver French manicure. And, while a shiny silver French manicure sounds maximalist in theory, Lipa's take on the popular summer nail look is very pared-back because her silver tips have a thinner, more transparent application of the silver polish.
In the photo, the 28-year-old's complexion is glowy and flushed with a tap of pink blush across her cheeks. She's wearing her signature red hair and is dressed in a simple black tank top. In another photo within the post, she's tied her hair up in a messy bun and is wearing smoky makeup with a cool-toned brown lip look. The mirror selfie shows Lipa wearing a halter neck dress detailed with a chic cut-out at her hip, accessorized with lots of gold jewelry.
Dua Lipa's in her manicure era, and we'll be re-creating her nail look all summer. Her silver French manicure is the perfect summer nail inspo— it has just the right amount of sparkle to liven up your everyday looks, while still having a laidback feel. It's a sparkly summer slay (say that three times fast).
