Dua Lipa hasn’t worn a single manicure this summer that I haven’t obsessed over. She’s gone from polka dot French manicures to 3D gold nail art to rich girl nails, and somehow, each design she chooses manages to look better than the last. After a summer filled with pastel nail colors and 3D maximalist designs, her newest manicure is giving me the perfect amount of witchy vibes for fall.
On Sept. 4, the singer shared a series of Instagram photos from her tour stop in Toronto. One photo is a close-up of her manicure, which is a negative space look featuring a nude base and a four black starbursts painted in a criss-cross design. According to the tags, the manicure was the work of Toronto-based nail artist, Anna Hoang.
Dua Lipa has worn a handful of colorful nail designs in recent months, but with summer winding down, black and other earthy nail colors like chocolate brown and burnt orange are likely to be on the rise again for fall, so I’m sure she’ll find a way to incorporate more moody tones into some of her nail looks to come.
