ICYMI, Beyoncé is back to posting on Instagram, which means we’re back to poring over every photo in her signature carousels for all the best beauty details. (Oh, and she got a bob!) One such nail-related detail in her latest photo drop, however, was so delicate that I almost missed it while flipping through her pics—but I’m so glad I didn’t!
Though Bey didn’t join her husband and daughters on the field at the Super Bowl, she did watch the game (and the Halftime Show) and gave us a peek at her Game Day look, complete with an enchantingly dainty take on the French manicure.
Her manicure was the work of Miho Okawara, who is responsible for many of her most recognizable (and copy-able) manicures. Okawara sculpted Beyoncé’s nails into a long almond shape with a neutral base color, then detailed each nail with its own minuscule design. Instead of a bright or creamy white nail, though, Okawara outlined the tip with a fine line and rhinestone design on the pointer finger and a series of teeny-tiny golden dots on the middle finger. Beyoncé’s ring finger tiptoed into accent nail territory with a gold and silver metallic texture applied to the tip. A few of her fingers were entirely French-less; her pinky fingers were almost completely bare, save for a cluster of sparkle at the base of the nail, and her thumbs sported a delicate design in the center of the nail. (Scroll through a few pics to see a close-up.)
The French manicure is a mainstay in Beyoncé’s manicure routine, and we’ve seen so many iterations of the look on her famous fingertips in the past. She’s gone classic, of course, but we’ve also seen her turquoise-studded “Texas French” for her Cowboy Carter album, a chrome metallic silver set befitting the Renaissance era, and even a hidden Santa Claus French during the holidays! Could her latest manicure be a clue about a new project? Fans are buzzing about an Act III album release date, every potential hint will be fully examined—and that includes her nails!
