J.Lo Just Proved the “Lip Gloss” Nail Trend Is Worth Trying—Here’s How

If we were to play a word association game and you said “J.Lo,” the first thing I would say back is “nude lip gloss.” The star has been sporting glossy nude lips since the ’90s. At this point, there’s no denying that Jennifer Lopez’s one great love is ultra-reflective, latte-toned lips. (Sorry, Ben Affleck.) 

Though Lopez’s love for lip gloss has outlasted many a trend cycle, that doesn’t mean the star doesn’t dabble in other beauty trends. At the world premiere for her most recent movie, Shotgun Wedding, Lopez tried another form of lip gloss—“lip gloss” nails, that is. 

Lip-gloss nails are essentially 2023’s version of the “glazed donut” manicure that took the world by storm in 2022. Like actual lip gloss, you’ll want to opt for a color that suits your skin tone—consider something similar to the nude gloss color that would look best on you. Lopez’s manicurist, Tom Bachik, did this by creating a custom soft brown reminiscent of her signature lip gloss.
