21 Headline-Worthy Celeb Manicures We Just Had to Screenshot in 2019
Whether you get your nails done by a professional, do them yourself, or leave them plain-Jane, there’s no questioning that the small canvas has become a place for big creativity. And that’s not to say bare nails or simply adorned ones are lacking. It’s just this year’s best celebrity nails are not only cute, covetable colors, but certified artistry, I would happily recreate, too.
2019 has hardly been disappointing on the A-list front. It gave us graphic maximalist nails with a smattering of sleek minimalist trends to balance out the bold. It went from bead appliques, jewels, and lengthy tips to subtle design and color. And who is nailing (yes, pun intended) these looks? Why, all your favorite celebrities, of course. So, I scoured Instagram to find the best phalanges around since the beginning of the year, and there were tons to choose from. For now, here are 21 best of the best nail-fies from Kylie Jenner, Kerry Washington, and more that are sure to offer plenty of oggle time and inspiration.
