Dua Lipa is fully into the "bubble bath" nails [2] trend and you will be too after seeing her latest manicure. On 28 Aug., the musician posted a picture of herself on Instagram in front of a lush green backdrop. Clad in a tank top and tan-coloured shorts, Lipa was the embodiment of the neutral aesthetic that has social media in a chokehold. While her entire look belonged on a Pinterest board, her chic, understated nails [3] were arguably the best part.
After filing them into a rounded-square shape [4], Lipa's nails were painted a cloudy, cool-toned pink shade [5], likely inspired by the original OPI Bubble Bath Polish [6] (£15). The musician decided to forego any additional designs [7], allowing the shade to take centre stage and pop against her beige-toned clothing and tanned skin.
The bubble-bath trend is the latest addition to the neutral-beauty boom [8] that has taken over Hollywood — and as a result, practically everywhere else. The shift back to barely-there beauty has resulted in viral aesthetics such as latte makeup and old-money-inspired "rich girl" nails [9]. Whether you're a big fan of more natural looks or not, you can't deny that they have withstood the test of time and are classics. So, if you're ready to give the trend a try, take another glance at Lipa's manicure below.
