I can’t help it—I’m a total sucker for a classic red manicure. I think that in the realm of nail polish, red should be considered a neutral. It goes with everything, always looks sophisticated, and will never go out of style.
J.Lo is never afraid to take risks when it comes to her nails (she’s been known to sport long nails with abstract designs and glitter before) but she’s also partial to more neutral baby pinks and nudes. She rarely opts for red, so when I saw her most recent manicure at the Ralph Lauren SS23 Show, I was immediately obsessed.
Instead of a pure red, the singer went for a more toned down burgundy nail color. It’s still eye-catching while being a bit more subdued than fire engine red nails. In a press release, celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik shared that he chose the color because J.Lo’s hair and makeup was kept classic and minimal. “Nails needed to complete the look,” he says. “We went with Essie’s Bordeaux to do just that! Short, strong, natural shaped nails helps the color pop.” Keep reading to see the exact products he used to achieve J.Lo’s striking red nails.
