Dua Lipa's Grand Prix manicure fuses two of the summer's trendiest nail styles.

      What occurs when Dua Lipa presents not just one, but two fashionable manicure trends? A frenzy among beauty editors, I assure you. When the singer was spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, my attention was immediately drawn to her artistic yet refined fingertips (after noticing her Speedcat sneakers, of course). At first glance, the manicure appears to be sheer and milky, but a closer look reveals some stunning, carefully positioned shiny details. Forget traditional French tips—this minimalist design instantly enhances sheer polishes. Keep scrolling for all the beautiful specifics directly from Dua Lipa's nail technician.

      Technically, Lipa has sported this manicure for a while. She initially shared images of her starry tips a week ago in Hamburg, Germany, during the European segment of her Radical Optimism Tour. It’s safe to assume she loves the look created by celebrity manicurist Michelle Class, as the pop star chose to keep it for her Monaco Grand Prix appearance in Monte Carlo.

      Upon closer inspection of the design, it’s clear why Lipa is such a fan. The sheer pink base boasts a super glossy finish, giving the impression that her nails were dipped in rosewater; this look, aptly named the "watery nail" trend, has become one of the most sophisticated polish options of the summer. (Think milky nails, but even more sheer and luminous.) As if one chic nail trend weren’t enough, the manicure also features tiny silver stars scattered across the nail plate. This elegantly simple design enhances the look just the right amount while maintaining an understated and stylish effect. “People appreciate a balance between clean and artistic,” celebrity nail artist Saccia Livingston previously mentioned to Who What Wear regarding this year's manicure trends, which explains why Lipa's look has been hard to shake from my mind. It perfectly strikes a balance between classic neutrals and eye-catching nail art.

      While Class didn't disclose the exact polish used for Lipa's watery base, she did tag European brands Kinetics Beauty and Lucy Pastorelli Tools on Instagram. I would speculate she used a sheer shade like Nude By Nude or Rose Petal, along with a sharp-tipped spatula like the Multi-Tool to apply each metallic star. Fortunately, you can replicate a similar look with various polishes and decals, so keep scrolling for my recommendations.
