Megan Thee Stallion sees your subtle french manicure and raises you her latest eye-catching set. The “Plan B” rapper is currently wearing some wild light-up nails in Tokyo, where she’s set to perform at Summer Sonic Festival this weekend.
She showed off her glow-in-the-dark manicure in a gallery of Instagram photos captioned, “First of all I’m in Japan living my best life ? second I gotta show y’all a close up of my light up nails because . . . my nail tech can do anything I ask.” The manicurist she’s referring to is Coca Michelle, who’s responsible for bringing most of Megan’s out-of-this-world nail looks to life.
Michelle began crafting Megan’s nails by applying long, coffin-shaped acrylics decorated with turquoise patterns that subtly matched the Grammy winner’s cutout bodysuit. She then secured tiny LED lights of varying colors underneath the tip of each acrylic, basically turning Megan’s fingers into Christmas-tree lights. Michelle also gave herself a matching set featuring clear, square-shaped acrylics and small, multicolor lights.
With a summer dominated by far more low-key nail trends – see: milk-bath manicures and ’90s supermodel manicures – could Meg’s nails kick-start a move toward maximalism? If anyone can inspire that switch-up, it’s her. Take a closer look at the star’s light-up set to soak up the inspiration.
