Although fall isn’t quite over just yet, my sights are set on party season. Sequins? Shimmery eyeshadow looks? Party pumps? It’s arguably one of the best seasons for pulling major fashion and beauty looks, particularly in the manicure department. Lucky for us, Taraji P. Henson’s gemstone-adorned nails serve as the best easy yet festive blueprint.
You may know Henson as an actor or beauty muse, but her latest moniker? Wine connoisseur. Throughout fall, she’s been traveling to promote her newest wine, Seven Daughters Moscato. On her latest leg of appearances, we couldn’t help but notice Henson’s chic take on the French manicure.
French manicures are so back. They never really went away, but the style definitely took a backseat to fall color trends and chrome styles. With Henson’s nail look, it’s all about the details. In a photo posted to her Instagram, her new manicure was front-and-center.
On a medium-length square shape, each nail had a milky white base topped with classic white French tips, with added swirls and abstract line details that look like a work of art. Then, each nail was topped with a bevy of silver gemstones for some added shine and texture.
What makes the look exciting? Her nails balance the festive party mood with everyday ease, which isn’t an easy feat. They would look perfect paired with a cocktail dress and heels, or add a bit of refined sparkle paired with a casual everyday outfit.
Re-creating Henson’s manicure is easy, and there’s plenty of room for adding personal touches. Try it on by opting for your favorite French style and then just add gemstones.
