Jennifer Lopez Just Made Bejewelled Nails Accessible For Minimalists

J.Lo has done it again — epitomising elegance through almond-shaped lacquers that champion minimalism in beauty. This time — they’re star-studded with charms, pierced with rings, and softened with hearts. While the singer-actress endowed the nails with a milky white on the day of her wedding, she added a little something to the aesthetic this time around. Ahead — how nail artist Tom Bachik bedazzled the nails, and some other demonstrations to take cues from.

J.Lo Makes Piercings & Chains Look Minimal. Somehow.

J.Lo’s press-on nails are all-white, and they’re punctuated by chains, hearts, piercings, and other itsy-bitsy embellishments that elevate the appeal of the one-toned aesthetic without stealing from its simplicity. Bachik has adorned one of the nails with Jennifer’s initials; thrown in hearts and pea-sized rhinestones; pierced some of them, and added chains across and over. While these are custom-made press-ons, you can request your manicurist to embellish an all-white set of nails with charms and adornments of your liking.

If you want to DIY the look, all you have to do is paint your nails white, and work some charms into the equation. While piercing the nails might not translate well at home, you can try adorning each lacquer with hearts and gems using nail glue — think gems, stars, hearts, snowflakes, and more.

Other Ways You Can Bejewel Your Nails Subtly

Minty

A neutral-toned, glazed-donut-like backdrop is complemented by a minty-fresh shade of green as well as gemstones. This one’s minimal and playful all at the same time.

Swirl

Add a gem close to the base of each swirl, and you’re done.

Metallic

If you’re looking for something poppy, combine silver-hued splashes of colour with some gemstones.

French

How about adding a little something to a conventional French manicure? You can request your manicurist for a milky-white, sheer base instead of an all-clear one. Gotta love these rhinestone-studded nails.
