Dua Lipa Inspired Me to Get a Halo Manicure—and My Hands Have Never Looked Cooler or More Elongated

Dua Lipa.

I don't know about you, but my nails are in desperate need of some TLC. Between the festive season, New Year's, and the first doldrum days of January, my pre-holiday manicure has grown out, and I'm hankering for something fun to bring some pep to my step (and my hands).

Sure, there are your typical wintery hues—like burgundy, merlot and chocolate brown—but I prefer something a bit more extravagant to see me through to February. Enter Dua Lipa... In an Instagram post shared a few weeks ago, the singer was pictured kissing her beau Callum Turner, but it wasn't their romance that gave me pause—it was her nails. They were painted a dark red colour, outlined with a thin white line. It's a look I'm dubbing the 'halo manicure', and it's essentially nail art for minimalists.
