At first, it looks like she&#8217;s wearing just a simple, one-color manicure on her short, squoval-shaped nails, but look a little closer. (You may need a magnifying glass, or a few zoom-ins to see it.) Is that a baby blue micro-French tip we see? It&#8217;s so thin and delicate, you&#8217;d definitely miss it at first glance, but upon closer examination, it&#8217;s absolutely there. You gotta love a delightful little surprise like that, especially when it&#8217;s <em>so<\/em> unexpected. Plus, the combination of deep, brownish-black polish and a light blue tip is such a good one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Charlize Theron appears at a premiere with dark nails with a pale blue tip.\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/charlize%20black%20nails.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69ea183299beaec6e5296a5f\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/charlize%2520black%2520nails.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk foWpck hRFzlA caption__credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Nails aside, we&#8217;d be remiss not to mention Theron&#8217;s mini bob, which she wore very deeply parted to one side with some casual-cool texture.
