It’s still early morning as I write this, but Beyoncé’s manicure has me craving a cold glass of bubbles. The Cowboy Carter musician swapped her “Texan French” nails in favour of a sheer micro-shimmer champagne shade, and if a manicure could be classified as “blonde,” it would definitely be this one.
The nails made their debut in Bey’s latest Instagram video, set to her song Sweet Honey Buckin’. Her nails are long, shaped into a slightly rounded almond shape and painted a shape-shifting colour that looks nude in one light and frosty in another thanks to the shimmer finish.
When she’s standing still, they look like a simple neutral mani, but when she moves, they catch the light and look almost glazed, though a zoom-in on the manicure reveals no chrome powder was involved. (Or if it was, we’d need a magnifying glass to see it.)
They’re naked, but not — a look that certainly seems to be a trend amidst our favourite celebrities, Bey included. Jennifer Lopez wore a similar summery shimmer look recently, with her long, almond-shaped nails covered in a sheer neutral colour with the tiniest hint of sparkle, while Halle Bailey recently gave her barely-there nails a twist of super sheer ballet pink.

Beyoncé’s nails were the perfect match for her long, blonde curls, a mix of darker honey tones at the back and bright, pale creamy blonde around her face, styled as always by hairstylist Neal Farinah.
The mani even matches her duster – a patterned beige suede jacket tied over denim cutoffs! Makeup artist Armando Kole applied an equally shimmery champagne shadow over the musician’s lids and defined her eyes with delicate tracings of dark liner on both the upper and lower lash line, finishing with an apricot blush, highlighter, and lip gloss.
At the end of the video, Beyoncé does a little “Cheers!” at the camera with her glass of champagne, so I’m taking that as a sign that it’s officially the weekend. Thanks, Bey!
