Jennifer Lopez is the best person to know how to serve sparkle. She loves everything that sparkles and shines, from beautiful red carpet gowns to show-stopping performances. Now, her latest manicure shows that she’s bringing that energy into the holiday season. Her French tips with a shimmering silver halo are a fun, new take on a classic that I’m going to copy right away.
Tom Bachik, the star’s favorite nail artist, posted a close-up picture on Instagram with the caption “The perfect holiday mani.” I couldn’t agree more.

How to Copy J.Lo’s Shiny French Mani
Bachik started with a nude base on nails that were medium to long and soft with almond shapes (notice the flat tops). He then made a French tip that was pretty thick and milky white. The thin, shimmery silver curved line that ran through the middle of each nail was the best part. With a striping brush (you can get one on Amazon), Bachik drew the lines freehand over the base of the white tips.

The shiny detail looks like a halo, and even though it’s not very noticeable, it makes a regular French manicure feel perfect for party season. I like that it’s festive without being too much (I’m not a candy cane or snowman person). And while I’ll be taking this to my salon, you could do something similar at home if you like to do things yourself.
The Only Fall Color You Need
The understated shine of the manicure in the picture perfectly complements the real bling she’s wearing. The mani is like arm candy if you don’t have J.Lo’s jewels (who does?!). The silver makes it feel like a party (think jingle bells and snow queen), but the design would look just as good in any metallic color, like gold or rose gold. As this season’s holiday French manicures take over, you can get even more nail ideas here.
