Singer and songwriter Dua Lipa has been extremely generous in sharing her style on social media—between her summer bikinis, performance outfits, off-duty looks and slinky statement shoes. But no ‘fit is complete without a perfect set of nails to match, so we’re turning to the singer shaping our style for manicure recommendations.
A few trends we’re noticing: mismatched nails, animal print nail designs and the obsession with minimalist trends. Below, enjoy nail ideas seen on Dua Lipa.
Animal prints
Patterns, whether it’s animal prints or geometric remains very strong in nail trends. No shock there, especially with tortoiseshell designs steadily taking over our social media feeds.
French mani with florals
If you love a statement mani, consider this your cue to lean into the trend. The classic French nail art shape is being reimagined with florals, gilded in gold, and even swirled with pearly pink and whites.
Naked nails with mini stars
Naked nails are here to stay, so if you’re not usually one for bright colors and over-the-top designs, you can always take inspo from Dua Lipa and keep things simple with a barely-there mani with mini stars.
