Rihanna Co-Signs The Milky Manicure Trend For Summer

By now, you’ve probably seen us write about minimalist manicures enough, but it’s for good reason! Why would celebrities like Selena Gomez, Eva Longoria, Anne Hathaway, and more put their stamp of approval on the nail look if it wasn’t that good? Sometimes, you just need a swipe of a basic polish to feel put-together and confident, and Rihanna’s latest campaign for Fenty Beauty is just another example of the simple manicure’s strength.

On July 2, Rihanna took to Instagram to announce a handful of new Fenty Beauty products along with fresh campaign imagery. “It’s a Fenty lip summer!” said the multi-hyphenate in the caption of her photo dump, which featured RiRi wearing different lip shades. Of course, the star was wearing a fresh new manicure, one that’s already on our summer mood boards.

On her coffin-shaped natural nails, Rihanna wore a simple yet effective naked French manicure. If you didn’t already know, a naked French manicure is when you wear a natural nude or barely-there polish that blurs any discoloration and gives a faux-French effect using the natural whites of your nails. The 36-year-old’s manicure was the quintessential naked French style that featured a swipe of nude polish.

In the photos, Rihanna is wearing a full-glam makeup look featuring shimmery eyeshadow, a radiant complexion, and wispy eyelashes. The finishing touch was her glossy new Fenty Beauty products.

“Brand new GLOSSBOMB STIX has entered the chat!!!” Rihanna wrote in the caption. “Ultra glossy, perfect level of pigment, packed with vitamin E, shea butter, squalane!” The new shades include a Black Cherry and Dragon Fruit Treatz Lip Oil, that boasts a berry and bright red shade. The singer also hinted at a new surprise product, which hasn’t been revealed. While we wait for more details, we’ll be copying her easy-breezy manicure.
