Jessica Alba is many things. Mother, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist, to name a few. She’s also a devout minimalist beauty lover, which she’s once again proven with her latest social media post. On Aug. 7, Alba posted a selfie on her Instagram account, showing her over 20 million followers that she’s living her best life in a bikini by the pool. Simply captioned “Sunshine,” the photo captured all the best parts of a summer beauty aesthetic: tan skin, wavy hair, and a coconut in hand. As she hydrated, she inadvertently showed off her new manicure, which is a tried-and-true Hollywood favorite.
Alba’s nails were first filed into a short, round shape for a manicure that is as cute as it is practical. She then opted for a classic French design—a translucent pink base paired with a white smile line at the tips of each finger. A few swipes of glossy topcoat gave the manicure an expensive-looking shine.
