Blake Lively is back on Instagram and already serving us some major nail art inspiration. The actor attended the Michael Kors Fall-Winter 2022 New York Fashion Week show looking fresh in a powder blue three-piece suit and the subtle french manicure worth adding to all your mood boards.
Lively's nail artist Elle Gerstein posted an up close picture of her elevated '90s supermodel nails with what Gerstein calls a "polar moon" design, giving the look a reverse french manicure feel. Gerstein used the Luxio by Akzents Gel Nail Polish in Forever (£18) for the warm pastel pink base colour, and while she didn't share the polish used for the nail art, Luxio by Akzents Gel Nail Polish in Forever (£18) is a milky white shade of the same line you could use to create a similar effect.
With french manicures continuing into 2022 as a strong nail art trend, Lively's take feels like a subtle (yet sweet) approach that takes it to the next level. Her reverse french nail art, while simple, adds a special touch that takes the look from just a trend to an intentional style choice. With how simple her nail art is to recreate, we may have just found our next DIY nail project. Take a closer look at Lively's nails below.
