You Could Play "I Spy" with J. Lo's Glittery 3D Nails
Getty Images As the parent of a four-year-old, I play a lot of 'I Spy"—in the car, at restaurants, poring over the iconic I Spy book series. You know what would fit right in in the pages of those books? Jennifer Lopez's latest manicure! Lopez's concert nails, designed by her go-to manicurist Tom Bachik, are a visual feast with so many blink-and-you'll-miss-them references, they needed their own Instagram grid post. If you were watching her from the arena floor, you probably wouldn't get to see all the details, which is why we're so thankful Bachik posted a close-up at his work so we could pore over every intricately designed nail. The long, coffin-shaped nails were a mix of burgundy, milky pale pink, and gold tones, embellished with sparkling charms, gemstones, and pearls for a royal vibe. Lopez is currently traveling through Europe on her 'Up All Night' tour, which kicked off in Spain. However, the singer-actor-dancer brought a little bit of home to the stage with one of her nails, which featured the New York Yankees logo in gold and rhinestones; more gemstones danged from the 'Y," ending in a large garnet stone. There were bows, crosses, sacred hearts, and even what appears to be the Chanel interlocking 'C' logo, framed by dangling small pearls. See what I mean about 'I Spy?' I spy, with my little eye… Though Lopez typically wears a much more neutral manicure for her day-to-day life and red carpet events, she likes to go all out with her performance nail art. For a trip to Dubai, she and Bachik whipped up a Swarovski crystal butterfly manicure that we're still thinking about. When she performed at an Elie Saab show in late 2024, her nails were encrusted with even more Swarovski crystals for the definition of superstar sparkle. Lopez has a full touring schedule through mid-August; the 'Up All Night' tour takes her through Italy, Hungary, Egypt, Turkey, and more. We've got a feeling Bachik is already busy whipping up many more ornate manicures for us to ogle. Can't wait!

Jennifer Lopez's Gucci Nails Clash With Her Outfit in the Most Luxurious Way
Getty Images One of the best things about the burgeoning designer nail trend that Cardi B, SZA, and Megan Thee Stallion have all been participating in is that you don't actually need music-superstar money to take part in it. While your chosen nail artist definitely deserves a big tip for their intricate work, the beauty of these manicures is that you don't have to pair your Chanel-logo nails with a Chanel ensemble—you can throw on some Old Navy and go about your day with a high-low look. But in the case of Jennifer Lopez, whose budget has fewer limitations than most, she's all for breaking the must-match rule, too, but in a much more luxurious way: wearing a high-end designer-logo manicure with a completely different high-end designer-logo outfit. Lopez was spotted in Warsaw, Poland, the day after her 56th birthday, looking absolutely radiant with long, straight hair, peachy-nude makeup, layered gold and diamond jewelry, and oversized wire-frame glasses. She paired strappy, brown, high-heel sandals with a stunning, silky, off-white Valentino dress covered in a subtle pattern of the fashion house's logo. But go ahead and zoom in on J. Lo's nails. Her designer manicure doesn't echo her Valentino ensemble, but rather her love of Gucci. Her go-to nail artist, Tom Bachik, posted close-ups of the incredible set to his Instagram Stories, giving us a clear look at the amazingly ornate art on each coffin-shaped nail. Starting with the Aprés Nail shade Girl Dinner, Bachik added instantly recognizable Gucci details like gold-accented green and red stripes, a snake, and, of course, the Gucci logo pattern. Each nail is different, and some even feature three-dimensional, bejeweled charms, like a cherry and winged insect. Now if you'll please excuse me, I'm going to take my Madewell-clad behind to the nail salon for a Marc Jacobs-themed manicure, thankyouverymuch.

21 Fresh Takes on the French Manicure for Summer
French tip nail designs have come a long way since their inception in the 70s. Created in 1976 by Jeff Pink, founder of nail brand ORLY, the French manicure started out as a simple yet chic combo of a bright pink shade on the nail base with a white cap at the tip. In modern times, the design has taken on many lives of its own: bolder designs (think ombré tips, jeweled accents, and shiny chrome finishes, and using every color your heart desires), make the French mani one of the most fun nail looks you could wear. 'It's incredibly versatile, universally flattering, and never goes out of style,' celebrity nail artist Kim Truong tells Vogue. 'Its neutral colors complement every skin tone and outfit, and suit all nail shapes. Plus, the design is easy to refresh, so it always feels current.' 'It's pretty much fail-proof,' adds celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik. 'If you don't know what to do with your nails, you really can't go wrong.' Below, Truong and Bachik share their favorite ways to dress up the classic mani. From pastel texture tips to micro fruit-inspired designs, here are 21 ways to elevate your French tip nail designs.

What Are Soft Gel Nails? Here's What to Know About the Acrylic Tip Alternative
In recent years, soft gel nails have grown in popularity—so much so that even Tom Bachik, Jennifer Lopez's go-to nail expert, relies on them to create the star's natural-looking nails. If you're a fan of classic acrylic tips, you may be wondering how soft gel extensions compare. While there are definitely similarities, the two couldn't be more different when it comes to the material and the way they are applied. Read on to learn all about the ins and outs of soft gel nail extensions. Who knows? You might just want to follow Bachik's lead and make the switch yourself. What are soft gel nail extensions? Soft gel nails are similar to old school press-on nails—the shape of the nail comes pre-made and is meant to cover your own nail completely. Unlike acrylic nails, soft gels are free of plastic, resins, and polymers. And, unlike press-on nails, they don't require glue. What's the difference between acrylic tips and soft gel extensions? There are several differences. One of the main ones? Acrylic nails are made of plastic. They are created with a mixture of monomer liquid and polymeric powder. Many people use acrylics because their own nails don't grow well or break off easily. Applying acrylics can take at least half an hour, and removing them can be a lengthy process: They need to be filed and wrapped with cotton soaked in acetone and then covered in aluminum. Soft gel nails, on the other hand, are lighter and more flexible as they are made from a flexible gel, similar to the gel used in gel polish. They are applied after the manicurist does a dry manicure, since a traditional 'wet' manicure can prevent the gel extensions from adhering. When applied correctly, soft gel extensions are long lasting and less damaging to natural nails. They are applied with a type of gel polish that acts as a glue. Since soft gel nail extensions come pre-shaped, the manicurist has more time to experiment with designs and finishes. Soft gel nails can be glazed with colored gel polish or regular polish and are ideal for adding all kinds of decorations. To remove them, the tip is cut to the base and then the nail is soaked in acetone for 10 to 15 minutes. You can do it at home, but most professionals recommend removing soft gels with the help of a manicurist at the salon. How to apply soft gel nails According to the brand Aprés, a favorite of Bachik, soft gel nails can last up to four weeks without chipping or lifting—if they are applied properly. Though the brand is available in salons, it also offers kits with products and tools that allow you to apply soft gel extensions at home. Here's how the brand recommends applying their version:
