Rihanna [1] attended the NYC Porcelain Ball [2] this weekend with a beauty look so hot, parts of it seemed like they were melting. The singer's nails were painted black [3] and featured gold polish dripping down a few accent nails. Her go-to manicurist Maria Salandra [4] posted an image of matte black candles with gold wax dripping down the side, which can be the assumed inspiration for this creative drip manicure [5].

While we've seen this nail art before [6], we can't get over how luxe it looks in this black and gold colour palette. Ahead, check out Rihanna [7]'s nails and the rest of her steamy beauty look.
