While many summer nail trends are drenched in color—from butter yellow to true blue to tomato red—Jennifer Lopez is going for the exact opposite with lumière nude nails.
Instead of eye-catching designs or playful details, the singer and actor is now sporting a lumière nude manicure featuring a set of shiny nude nails that are so simple you could almost overlook it—and that’s exactly why it feels so luxurious.
What are lumière nude nails?
Based on the French word for “light,” the name describes the trend perfectly. Lumière nude nails are basically nails that feature a natural nude shade that matches your own nails as closely as possible, combined with a high-gloss finish. The result is reminiscent of healthy-looking natural nails—only more well-groomed, even, and mirror-like.
The look is part of the current clean-beauty trend and follows in the footsteps of manicures like soap nails, naked nails, and milky nails. Instead of drawing as much attention as possible, these nails are meant to look as if they were naturally flawless.
Here’s what Jennifer Lopez’s lumière nude nails look like
For this manicure, Jennifer Lopez opted for medium-length nails in a soft oval shape. The nude shade has a warm, slightly rosy tone, while the ultraglossy finish gives the nails an almost glass-like effect. Nail artist Tom Bachik used Aprés Nails’ Soft Gel Builder Blush for this J.Lo nail look, which offers a firmer gel texture with light coverage.
