This season maximalist nail art has been all the rave. Social media has been flooded with funky nail art people have been getting. Popular designs have included colorful squiggly lines, pop art, different colours on each nail, and more.
Dua Lipa’s nails have caught the attention of many due to her outside-of-the-box taste. Vogue took the liberty of reaching out to the singer’s manicurist, Michelle Humphrey, via Zoom.
“Usually Dua has a look that she fancies and she’ll pull images,” Humphrey explained to Vogue. “And then we’ll either do that, or sometimes I’ll add something or take something out, then it becomes its own thing.”

Humphrey continued, “I love [nail] appointments with individuals like Dua or actresses and other personalities – something where they want a look. It’s so nice and rewarding when you can be creative,” says Humphrey. “There’s a transformation, and you can see a real before and after. A manicure is always a transformation anyway – nails will be cleaner, tidier and neater – but when you put some boujis glitter on it and make it fun, that’s what it’s all about.”
Colourful, bold nails have become especially popular on platforms such as Tik Tok and Pinterest. Humphrey’s unique designs have also been sported by the likes of Lily Allen, Adele, Cate Blanchett, and more.
