Demi Lovato's Diamanté Outline Manicure Is the Epitome of Holiday Elegance
If you're on the fence about whether or not to try a holiday-themed manicure, I get it. As fun and festive as they are, some designs can read a bit juvenile, garish, or cheesy. You have a sophisticated reputation to uphold! But Demi Lovato just proved that you can nail the spirited vibes of the season without sacrificing any elegance.
Nail artist Natalie Minerva shared a carousel of photos to Instagram featuring her client, Lovato, wearing her latest creation: a truly lovely, innovatively bedazzled manicure that would work well for truly any special occasion, from a wedding to the most anticipated holiday party of the year.
Close-ups of the powerhouse singer's hands reveal that she's wearing a light, pink-leaning nude polish on softly coffin-shaped nails. To elevate the look, Minerva fully outlined each nail in the teensy-tiniest of rhinestones. (The nail artist is loving the outlined look lately, recently posting a high-contrast outline manicure she did for Emma Chamberlain.)
And believe it or not, it took Minerva only about 45 minutes to complete what seems like a painstaking process. But that, she tells Allure, is because she actually applied the color—OPI Bare My Soul—two days prior to adding on the rhinestones (size Ss3, to be exact).
The beauty of this idea—aside from the fact that it's so lovely for any imaginable event—is that it would also work with any color. Want to go with a more classic holiday red? Perhaps a frosty blue? No matter the hue you want to wear for the rest of December, the “diamanté outline,” as Minerva calls it, will only enhance your chosen polish shade.
Just be sure to keep a few extra stones and a little glue handy in case any of the gems don't quite make it to the New Year's countdown.
