Dua Lipa's Simple Nail Art Is the Perfect Summer Manicure
With nail trends being so chill over the last year or two—who knew nude nails would be so hot for so long?—those of us who were once confident DIYing our nail art may feel a bit out of practice these days. But it's never too late to pick up the hobby again (we're seeing hints of the nail-art pendulum swinging back the other way), and Dua Lipa's latest manicure is the perfect inspiration for easing back into it.
Lipa has been busy on an international tour, but she always makes time for fun beauty moments, lie the turquoise mascara she popped on a couple of weeks ago. In her latest Instagram carousel of photos, videos, and memes, we're treated to a close-up of her nails (all the way on slide 15), and they couldn't be cuter.
The on-the-shorter-side oval shape features a sheer, barely pink base—the kind of color you see on its own a lot these days. But instead of leaving it there, nail artist Michelle Humphrey added some sweet details: little daisy-like flowers with black petals and a white center. (One and three-quarter flowers per nail to be exact.)

And in an Instagram Story about her book club, we got a few more looks at the cheerful design.
The flower-child 1960s vibes of this manicure feel perfect for summer, but the choice to make the petals black keep it from seeming too vibrant, if that's not your thing. And we love that Lipa paired it with super long mascara on her upper and lower lashes—it's really giving Twiggy.
Lipa's concertgoers may not be able to see these little beauty details from their seats, but we're thankful she shares them for everyone to enjoy—and get inspo from.
