Wimbledon may be over, but Emma Watson‘s nails are as timeless as ever. On July 16, the actor attended day 14 of the prestigious tennis tournament in London, England wearing a preppy ensemble that consisted of a hat, collared shirt, salmon-colored pants, and a classic french manicure to finish off the look.
Watson’s nails were kept at a short length and filed into a soft-oval shape. As is characteristic of the manicure, each digit was first painted a translucent-pink shade to mimic the color of natural nail beds. Then, a thin smile line, also known as the white tips, was added to each finger. A topcoat added a glossy shine.
French manicures have been trending since the first resurgence of Y2K beauty trends a few years ago, but the look is perfect for daily wear and formal occasions – such as a notable sports tournament – alike. The best part? French tips are highly customizable, so if you’re a fan of color or more intricate designs, opt for versions like the designer, shadow, or even chrome-french manicures. If your current beauty philosophy falls a bit more in line with Watson’s – meaning, pared-down and classic – take a closer look at her iteration of the trend below.
