Nude may be considered a “protected” choice when it comes to nail color, but Beyonce’s latest manicure proves that you can go neutral and still stand out. Nothing about Cowboy Carter the singer can be considered ordinary, so even if she chooses a subdued shade, it must have something extra. This time, Bey chose one of the biggest trends to add some sparkle to her nude nails: a super-reflective cat-eye finish.
Last week, the nail enthusiast shared several photos of herself posing in a brown leather dress (for all you vintage Roberto Cavalli fashion fans out there) with a matching manicure, and now her specialist is sharing the details of how it was created. Artist Miho Okawarawho also gave Bey a set American flag, French hands AND nails decorated with turquoise charm she offered a closer look at the shimmering nude mani, and even broke down the exact products she used to achieve it.
Okawara, the trusted nail artist of pop icons like Lady Gaga, Ciara and Miley Cyrus, gave Beyoncé’s long almond-shaped nails a shining effect with Daily Charme hybrid nail polish in color C11 Tabby with gel base and Presto top. The $19 polish gives your nails a multi-dimensional, almost velvety finish that’s typical of the cat eye trend.
Beyoncé is another celebrity who has signed this unique nail design. She joins Anya Taylor-Joy, Jenny Dewan and Rita Ora, who also recently tried out the cat eye madness on their tips. What’s great about renaissance The singer’s version is that the nude/gold color is so universal that it will match almost anything you wear this summer. So if you’re thinking of trying a shimmery style, this would be the perfect starting shade.
And don’t worry if the length or shape of Bey’s nails doesn’t suit your preferences. A nude cat eye is chic and fashionable for all shapes and sizes. Still, you can get as close to the finish Okawara created by purchasing the same gel polish she used – just in case your local nail shop doesn’t have something similar.
