Only Rihanna Could Pull Off a Manicure That Looks Like a Freakin' Work of Art

Rihanna [1] clearly has "Summer nail trends" on the brain. After electrifying Instagram with her solid neon green nails [2] in May, the singer revealed her latest supercool manicure with lavender jade nail art. Over the weekend, Rihanna [3] shared photos of her new nails, which are pretty much identical to actual lavender jade, making this even more captivating than it already is. RiRi's go-to nail artist Jenny Longworth [4] told Refinery29 that the "textural nail art" was created to look like some of the singer's "favourite jewellery."

Longworth said she used a similar strategy to that of creating marble nail art [5] and "started with a really chalky lilac base." She added dabs of dark purple and with "a nail art brush saturated in polish remover," watered down the dark purple to give a marbled look. "I added in some highlights with a thin brush in white gel polish, and finished with a super glossy top coat to bring the whole look together," she said. And voila — a Summer nail trend was born.

We hope our manicurist can pull this one off because we're obsessed. Check out Rihanna's lavender jade manicure ahead, which she expertly paired with a lavender sheer dress and clutch [6].
