Dua Lipa’s Midnight Manicure Is the Greatest Winter Inspo

It goes with out saying, Dua Lipa is a star. I do know that phrase can embody a whole lot of traits, so listed here are a few of *her* particular attributes it covers: singer, dancer, fashion icon, shade influencer.

Although the 29-year-old started providing magnificence inspiration to the plenty as quickly as she burst onto the music scene, her current flip as a redhead actually sealed the deal when it got here to her significance (and supplied the identify for one among 2024’s greatest hair shade tendencies: Pop Star Pink).

She’s now again to black within the hair division, however the pink lives on via a beforehand shot marketing campaign for YSL Magnificence… which additionally presents some new glam inspiration. Posted to Lipa’s Instagram on January 13, the Make Me Blush powder blush commercial reveals a glowing, flushed pop star with pink hair and a terrific midnight blue-black manicure.

Although we do not know who precisely was accountable for nail artwork for the marketing campaign, we will take some good knowledgeable guesses re: their course of. To start, the artist’s nails had been filed into an oval form. Then, a couple of coats of darkish, darkish polish had been utilized—sufficient to make the shade utterly opaque—earlier than a shiny prime coat completed issues off.

So far as the precise merchandise are involved, you possibly can have your alternative of bluish-black shades to get the look. However as a result of she’s a Yves Saint Laurent magnificence lady, I would wager that the shade is the model’s personal nail lacquer in Noir Primitif. Maybe with a little bit of Bleu Cobalt blended in?

Although I’ve to think about this marketing campaign was shot some time in the past (there isn’t any approach she went again to pink hair that quick when the black licorice shade is so good), the mani inspiration caught round. For New 12 months’s Eve, Lipa wore a black glazed manicure that performed off her darkish locks.

Let this be a lesson. Even in case you’re not a star (but!!!), you possibly can paint your nails like one. No matter hair shade.
