The King Kylie era is officially back, and it’s bringing some major beauty nostalgia with it. From sculpted brows to colorful hair, the youngest Jenner is once again setting the tone for what’s next—one manicure at a time. The latest? Kylie’s ultra-glam, chocolate-toned snakeskin nails that practically broke the internet. Bold, sculptural, and unapologetically maximalist, the set is a full departure from the "clean girl" aesthetic that’s been dominating recently. With a deep espresso base, high-gloss, and scale-like detailing sculpted across each nail, the look is sultry in the best way—like your favorite designer bag reimagined in gel. It’s luxe, it’s daring, and most importantly, it’s pure King Kylie. But let’s be honest, whatever Kylie touches turns into an instant trend. “Snakeskin nails were huge back around 2019–2020, but the look got a little overplayed and faded from the spotlight,” says pro nail artist Miish Quiroz. Now, with Kylie embracing all things bold and sculptural again, the pattern is slithering back into relevance. There’s also a strong Y2K tie-in here (a lá Britney Spears and her iconic python at the 2001 VMAs), and in classic Gen Z fashion, the look is being reimagined through modern finishes like matte-and-gloss contrasts, holographic foils, and blooming gel effects. Sound like a dream come true? Read on below to discover how to get the look, step by step. How to Get the Look There’s more than one way to rock a snakeskin mani, so it helps to show your nail tech a few inspo pics before your appointment. If you’re embracing your inner Kylie, ask for a 3D sculpted texture with a matte base and glossy scales layered over the top using a no-wipe gel. “That contrast really makes the pattern pop,” says Quiroz. For something a little more low-maintenance, Rachel Arreola of Vistosa Nails recommends snake print foils. “It’s a quicker way to get the effect without the detail work,” she says. And when layered over gel polish and sealed with a top coat, it makes a quick yet powerful impact. You can also experiment with hand-painted scales using a fine liner brush or opt for the blooming gel technique, which gives the design a diffused, watercolor finish. That softer version is perfect if you’re working with neutrals or want something more understated. And don’t feel boxed in by traditional python shades—“you can go nude-on-nude, try a French tip version, or even do neon snake print for summer,” says Arreola. How to DIY at Home Snake print might sound complicated, but there are a few pro-approved hacks for pulling it off yourself. If you want crisp scales, Quiroz recommends stamping plates like Clear Jelly Stamper for easy and accurate application. Just apply your base, stamp on the design, and finish with a top coat. For something softer, you can go with the blooming gel method. Simply apply your base, layer on the blooming gel, and use a dotting tool to create the scale pattern. The gel helps the design gently spread for a more diffused, artsy effect. If you’re feeling bold (and patient), try recreating Kylie's sculpted snakeskin nails at home with the gloss-over-matte method—a favorite among pros for its dramatic finish. Start with two coats of a deep polish (like chocolate brown or forest green) and cure if using gel. Follow with a matte top coat and cure fully to set the base. Then, using a fine liner brush and a no-wipe glossy top gel, carefully paint on the scale pattern, either full coverage or just as an accent. The key is in the contrast "between the matte base and the shiny scales, which is what really makes this look pop,” says Quiroz. Cure one final time to seal it all in and voilà! You're ready to take on the red carpet (or your local dive bar, doesn't matter).

If there’s one thing JLo will always do, it’s serve a lewk. From the legendary green Versace dress to her signature glow, Jennifer Lopez has long been the blueprint for elevated glam. But lately, she’s been keeping things sleek, subtle, and ultra-polished—especially her nails. Dubbed “BB Cream Nails,” J.Lo's new mani is the perfect example of minimalist beauty done right. Created by her go-to nail artist Tom Bachik, the look is soft, sheer, and skin-tone-enhancing—just like your favorite BB or CC cream. And like most things J.Lo touches, this one’s already catching fire. BB Cream nails are part of the ongoing minimalist wave that’s been dominating fingertips everywhere, like the ultra-viral milky manis, barely-there French tips, and glossy neutral overlays. What sets this one apart is its subtle blur effect. “It enhances rather than hides, giving your natural nails a soft-focus glow,” says nail expert Juli Russell. The goal is to achieve that perfectly imperfect polish that feels expensive without trying too hard. Ready to jump on the BB nail train? Read on for how to get the look at home or in the salon, according to the pros. How to Get the Look When booking your salon appointment, come prepared with a few photos. Terms like "BB Cream Nails," "milky manicure," or even "barely there nails" can vary depending on the salon—and the goal is to get a sheer, neutral-toned builder gel or a soft pink or nude overlay that enhances your natural nail rather than covering it completely. Let your nail tech know you’re after a finish that feels light, glowy, and ultra-clean. "It’s all about enhancing your natural nail with a glow that smooths imperfections,” says Russell. For that J.Lo polish (literally and figuratively), ask for an almond or soft oval shape. Not only is it timeless, but it also elongates your fingers and gives the whole look a bit of glamour. Color-wise, this is where personalization matters. Since not all sheers are created equal, ask your tech to help choose a shade that complements your skin tone—it should blend beautifully into your nail bed without looking too cool, too warm, or too opaque. Some manicurists may even suggest layering a sheer milky white over a nude or pink base to get that perfectly blurred, creamy finish. The final step should always be a super glossy top coat to seal it all in and give you that signature BB cream-style radiance. DIY At Home The best part of this trend is that you can totally DIY this look at home, no celebrity glam squad needed. Start by shaping your nails into an almond or oval silhouette, which gives that luxe, elongated effect, or go with a soft rounded shape for something more natural and minimal. Gently buff the surface to smooth out any ridges, then apply a ridge-filling base coat to create that flawless canvas, says Russell, who loves this look for its fresh, barely-there finish. Next, reach for a sheer nude, pink, or milky polish that flatters your skin tone—nail pro Miish Quiroz recommends swiping on a thin layer of milky white over your base color to get that softly blurred, BB cream effect. Top it all off with a super glossy top coat (a must for that healthy, luminous shine) and don’t forget a nourishing cuticle oil. The end result? A clean, polished manicure that’s minimalist, modern, and 100% J.Lo approved.

Turns out pastels aren't a spring-exclusive nail look—and Selena Gomez just proved it. In preparation for an on-camera appearance, Selena's nail artist, Tom Bachik, gave Selena what he coined a "Dreamy Lilac Mani." The shade is a light, creamy purple, and the shape is Selena's go-to: almond. Bachik, a celebrity 'MAN'icurist who creates trendy nail looks for several other celebrities including Hailee Steinfeld and Jennifer Lopez, never fails to share the details of his designs on Instagram. He posted Selena's lilac look on June 19, including in his caption the exact nail-prep kit and shade of purple he used on Selena's nails. Selena showed off her "Dreamy Lilac Mani" in behind-the-scenes photos on set for Match Game, a 2025 revival of the popular game show set to be hosted by her Only Murders in the Building co-star, Martin Short. The pastel purple added a pop of color to her black Miu Miu dress and Apagée earrings, an ensemble put together by Selena's stylist, Erin Walsh. But, can someone without a celebrity nail artist achieve the lilac dream? Absolutely. Don't worry, since Bachik isn't a gatekeeper, we won't be either. Let's get into it. How to Get the Look Unlike some of the other summer nail trends like the 'Amalfi nails' or fruit skin manicures that require a higher level of artistry and precision, Bachik's "dreamy lilac" manicure is very beginner-friendly. In fact, all it takes is two steps: nail prep and color. Officially launching back in the summer of 2020, the Tweezerman x Tom Bachik Ultimate Nail Care Set is what Bachik uses to get a "flawless nail base" on all of his clients, Selena included. The set features two types of nail clippers and cuticle cutters, a two-in-one "pushy" and under-the-nail cleaner, a nail buffer, and a nail file. Besides the fact that Selena is—well, Selena—it's no wonder her nails are always so enviable. You truly can't beat a nail look that begins with such meticulous prep. Once the cuticles have been pushed and clipped into oblivion and the nail has been filed into your ideal shape—almond if you're Selena—it's time to grab the shade 'Aster Family' by Aprés Nail. Aprés is known for creating the iconic Gel-X®, a soft-gel nail extension system, but the company also sells hundreds of shades of gel polishes. When using 'Aster Family,' Aprés warns that "because of how highly pigmented Gel Couleur is, less is more!" While Bachik didn't share the exact topcoat he used on Selena to finalize his "Dreamy Lilac Mani," Aprés suggests following 'Aster Family' with their Non-Wipe Top Glossy Gelcoat. No Gel, Please. Just in case you're on your nail-healing journey, or you simply don't have the money and/or resources for a gel manicure, we've got you covered. There are several traditional nail polish colors that are almost identical to Selena's pastel purple. Here are a couple that will leave your nails looking just as dreamy: Essie Lilacism or OPI Do You Lilac It?.

For many years, neutrals have typically consisted of milky mauves, beiges, sheer whites, and blush tones. These are still beautiful colors, but lately people have begun gravitating more toward earth tones that still have a luxe aesthetic without feeling as predictable. Earth tones are exactly what they sound like—shades inspired by nature and the Earth such as terracotta, mushroom, and soft browns. “The beauty of these shades is they mimic natural elements, so they tend to complement a wide range of skin tones,” says Erica De Los Santos, nail artist and founder of Nail'd It Beauty Lounge. “Whether you have fair, medium, deep, or olive skin, there’s an earth tone that enhances your nails without overpowering your look.” She adds that because they’re more muted and grounded, they give that clean and elevated vibe. They’re not as harsh as a stark white or as bold as a neon, making them super wearable for everyday, professional settings, or even more trendy, editorial looks. Here are some gorgeous earth tone nail colors to try yourself. 01 of 08 Soft Brown An earthy replacement for traditional taupe, soft brown feels more “of the earth,” lending an organic softness that plays beautifully with natural textures and creamy neutrals. It reminds us of sun-baked clay, weathered tree bark, or hand-thrown pottery. 02 of 08 Olive Green Green may not intuitively feel like a neutral tone, but an olive-y hue pairs surprisingly well with almost everything while still giving that luxe vibe. “It’s neutral, and it pairs so well with gold accents,” notes Valentina Fernandes, manicurist and MiniLuxe nail designer. 03 of 08 Terracotta Think of terracotta as the earthier twist to mauve. It still has that powdery, dusty aesthetic, but is warmed up in the most beautiful way. “Terracotta is just that perfect warm, earthy tone,” Santos says. “It gives rich, cozy fall vibes but honestly looks good year-round.” 04 of 08 Mushroom Santos says another flattering earth tone you can gravitate toward is mushroom, which is a slightly cooler, grounded color that toes the line between gray and taupe. It might even have some low key brown or lavender undertones. 05 of 08 Apricot Another neutral earth tone nail polish option that Fernandes loves is apricot, a surprisingly warm and juice hue that still reads soft and sophisticated. This warm tone brings a splash of golden-y goodness to your fingertips, sort of like the soft radiance of golden hour. 06 of 08 Alabaster Not stark white and definitely not a true gray, alabaster is a creamy off-white neutral infused with a hint of warmth. It reminds us of perfectly polished stone or well-loved linen, and it delivers a clean and crisp effect without feeling sterile. 07 of 08 Gray-Blue This striking color takes inspiration from natural elements like river rocks, stormy skies, and morning mist weaving through the mountains. Santos says, “I love a gray-blue because it feels neutral but still has that cool, modern twist. It’s different without being too loud.” 08 of 08 Sunstone Craving a little bit of sparkle? Sunstone is the perfect neutral with a shimmery twist. This warm and peachy-meets-beige shade is laced with the most gorgeous subtle golden flecks that catch the light.

If there’s one thing Addison Rae knows how to do, it’s set the tone for what’s going to trend next—and her latest manicure proves it. A playful blend of pastel tones, subtle swirls, and feel-good nostalgia, Addison’s dreamy tie-dye nails are basically summer bottled up in a manicure. It's the dreamiest combo of sunset skies, ice cream drips, and just the right amount of Y2K flair. Plus, as someone who consistently lands at the intersection of pop culture and beauty, Addison makes a strong case for nails that are less about perfection and more about self-expression. With the aura nail trend still going strong and ‘90s references dominating runways and TikTok alike, her swirly, watercolor set feels like the natural evolution. It’s wearable, fun, and totally customizable, making this look a leader, not a follower—just like the Diet Pepsi singer. “This version of tie dye nails is using the aura trend but translating it into a soft, modern tie dye look that’s perfect for summer,” says pro nail artist, Jessica Warz. With bright, pigment-blended colors softly melting into one another over a milky or white base, the style channels carefree energy without ever looking messy or overdone. It’s the kind of mani that feels spontaneous and unique every time—plus, there’s no wrong way to wear it, which is exactly what makes it so fun. So whether you’re into pastel swirls or vivid pops of neon, tie dye nails are the perfect canvas for self-expression. Addison's manicure is 2 Die 4—no doubt about it. And if you're ready to hop on the trend, read on for everything you need to know to get the look, plus how to DIY it from your own vanity. How to Get the Look at the Salon First things first—if you're aiming to recreate this dreamy manicure, bringing a photo to your salon appointment is essential. There are lots of tie-dye techniques, so showing your nail tech exactly what you’re envisioning will help get everyone on the same colorful page. When describing the look, ask for a tie dye effect, aura swirl nails, or watercolor tie dye. Warz recommends asking for bright, blendy pigment powders over a white base, while luxury manicurist Miish Quiroz adds that a "milky or nude base can also work to soften the final look." For a little extra personality à la Addison, you can even request mini details like leopard spots, little hearts, or letters—just give your artist a heads-up so they can plan accordingly. And don’t forget to choose your finish! Glossy top coats add vibrancy, while a matte coat gives it an earthy, velvety texture. Either way, this look will really pop. How to Style at Home Though tie-dye nails look fancy, they’re surprisingly beginner-friendly for those looking to skip the salon and get crafty at home. And if you have eyeshadow and a white nail polish, you’re already halfway there. According to Warz, all you need to do is start with a white base coat and a matte top coat. Once it’s completely dry, dab on eyeshadow using a small applicator or your finger. “This look is really blended, so I’d recommend using a fluffy brush at the end to blur the colors together before you slap on your favorite shiny top coat,” she says. And don’t forget to apply cuticle oil—always. You can also experiment with sponge or marble techniques using either regular or gel polish. Nail tech Rachel Arreola suggests dabbing polish onto a white base with a cosmetic sponge, then softly swirling the colors together for a seamless blend. Whatever method you choose, take your time, savor the process, and welcome the beauty of imperfection. As Arreola says, “each nail ends up being unique and interesting—true to the spirit of tie dye,” so don’t hesitate to play around and let your creativity run wild.

Many skincare products make outlandish promises to help you achieve a perfectly toned, smooth, and glowing complexion, but few deliver. With so much noise on the market, it's essential to pay attention to what reviewers say, and it appears that retinol is a skincare must-have. More specifically, Amazon customers have been raving about the RoC Retinol Correxion Night Serum Capsules. They've become so popular that over 9,000 shoppers bought them in the last month. The 30-pack of biodegradable night serum capsules is currently on sale for Amazon's Prime Day extravaganza, so you can snap them up for just $25 instead of $33. Not only do the individual capsules provide optimal freshness for the perfect dose of serum, but it’s also a travel-friendly format that won't take up much space in your luggage. With a potent blend of retinol, bio-derived antioxidants, and ceramides, each dose of the lightweight fluid is designed to hydrate while addressing deep and fine lines, fading dark spots, reducing crow's feet, and visibly firming and lifting collagen-depleted skin. RoC Retinol Correxion Night Serum Capsules The brand claims that users will notice a difference in hydration from the first use and firmer skin after four weeks. Since this formula includes retinol, it's advised to start implementing it into your skin regimen slowly. Begin by using one capsule on your face and neck every other day, gradually increasing the frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to it. Then, you can start using the formula every night, making it an excellent option for retinol beginners who worry about drying out and irritating their skin. Shoppers have been stunned by the results, with one dubbing the RoC Retinol Correxion Night Serum Capsules "Botox in a bottle." After using the capsules daily for two months, the "fine lines around [their] eyes are gone." If you wonder just how long it takes to see results, they also shared that by day five, they "noticed how supple [their] skin started looking" and that their fine wrinkles "were becoming less noticeable." Another reviewer who is turning 70 and suffers from rosacea was "skeptical" of the formula after using a $145 anti-aging serum for two months "with no results." They stated that after "the very first night," of using the encapsulated serum, they saw less redness by the next day. They also mentioned that one capsule held enough serum for their face and neck, and after three months of use, "all redness and breakouts are gone." They're so confident that they no longer wear foundation. The serum left their skin as soft and firm as "a newborn baby's," and it even reduced "puffiness under the eyes," making their face look "15 [to] 20 years younger—" even their dermatologist was "stunned" by the results. For those with a more sensitive skin type who think they can't use retinol, think again. A third reviewer said they "appreciate the gentle formulation of this serum," and they never experienced the "common concerns" that usually follow incorporating a retinol product into their routine. They added, "The serum boasts a lightweight, silky texture that glides effortlessly onto the skin. Upon application, it absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue." Over time, they noticed "a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines, particularly around [their] eyes and forehead." Don't wait any longer to transform your anti-aging skincare routine and add RoC's Retinol Correxion Night Serum Capsules while they're on sale for Prime Day.

Retinol will always be the go-to ingredient in our nightly skincare routines, but many products can take weeks (or even months) to deliver visible results. Thanks to Eight Saints, you can enjoy all of the anti-aging benefits of retinol without the wait—and hundreds of five-star reviewers started seeing noticeable improvements within a week. The Eight Saints Smooth Sailing Retinol Facial Moisturizer is a creamy formula that instantly hydrates and starts targeting fine lines, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, dark spots, and more. With retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E, this gentle-but-powerful formula works on all skin types without parabens, phthalates, or other irritating ingredients commonly known to cause redness and irritation on sensitive skin. And while you’ll still want to pair it with your favorite daily SPF, this cream can simplify your skincare routine with anti-aging ingredients and moisturizers all in one. Eight Saints Smooth Sailing Retinol Facial Moisturizer “Right away, I noticed how smooth and soft my skin felt—almost like velvet. It has that ‘baby skin’ texture that’s hard to achieve,” shared one five-star reviewer. “My skin is pretty sensitive and prone to reacting to new products. But with this cream, I’ve experienced zero redness, itching, or breakouts, even using it twice a day. That’s a major win in my book.” The lightweight cream comes in a large 2-ounce jar that can last months with regular use. It’s designed to absorb quickly into the skin, leaving it smooth and soft without oiliness or greasy residue. And unlike many products with active ingredients that can only be used in a pea-sized amount, it’s safe to slather this moisturizer on liberally without worrying about irritation. Since a little goes a long way, you can also lightly coat your skin to make it last even longer. From fine lines to uneven texture, shoppers with a variety of skin concerns have been impressed with the Smooth Sailing cream’s quick results: “After using it for seven days and seven nights, my crow’s feet are almost gone,” shared another shopper, who described it as their new “holy grail” product. After trying everything from budget-friendly to luxury skincare products, they noted that “nothing has even touched my deep crow's feet except for this product after just a week.” Along with its anti-aging and hydrating benefits, this moisturizer also provides a smooth surface for makeup. Since it soaks into the skin without leaving residue, you can apply foundation, primer, concealer, tinted sunscreen, and more directly on top without pilling or graininess (just be sure to let it absorb completely first). One reviewer even noticed that the brighter and “perkier” appearance of their skin allowed them to skip foundation entirely: “It allows my skin to absorb the rest of my makeup without the need to slather on foundation. This alone makes it worthwhile for me, and overall, I’m really pleased with this moisturizer.” We love that the Eight Saints Smooth Sailing Retinol Facial Moisturizer formula is fragrance-free for sensitive skin, and as a huge bonus, it’s also cruelty-free. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tones, enlarged pores, or damage from the sun, it’s a gentle and effective option that works on all skin types.

We’re officially in the thick of summer, but no heat wave is going to get you down. Especially if you have a cute manicure to admire and a calendar full of fun summer plans. As we look to the most popular July nail colors, there’s a nice mix of bright and splashy shades that stand out, some low key minimalist hues that match with all your summer fits, and finishes with just enough oomph. You can’t go wrong with any of them. 01 of 10 Hot Coral Hot coral combines pink, orange, and red for an unapologetic, definitely-going-to-get-noticed summer manicure. “It pops against sun-kissed skin and channels tropical summer energy,” says manicurist Cyndi Van, nail service and education director at Tricoci Salon & Spa. “This hue has dominated celebrity vacation manis and red carpet moments for its fearless edge.” 02 of 10 Nude Shimmer Nude or milky tones with a touch of shimmer are in high demand this month. “The subtle sparkle looks amazing in the sunlight, which makes it perfect for summer,” says Karina Dubinina, owner of Backstage Beauty Salon in London. “It gives an extra glamorous feeling without stepping into bright or neon territory. Adding a little shimmer is always a good way to refresh your nail look.” 03 of 10 Tomato Red Nails A cousin to hot coral, tomato red leans into all the “tomato girl summer” vibes and we’re 100% here for it. “This is a sultry, true red that’s replacing burgundy, seen in flowy skirts at Bottega Veneta and structured dresses at Balmain,” notes Jacqueline Pham, celebrity manicurist at Color Street. “It’s a bold yet approachable hue, especially when used in patterns or as an accent in accessories.” 04 of 10 Cotton Candy Pink Is it even summer without enjoying a voluminous puff of cotton candy? This trending July nail color takes inspiration from our favorite fluffy candy, and it’s surprisingly versatile. Evelyn Lim, manicurist and chief educator at MiniLuxe’s Paintbox Studio, says cotton candy pink is the perfect summer pick. 05 of 10 Tangerine Another bright nail polish color trending in July is tangerine, says Lim, which is playful, juicy, and instantly energizing. Like sunshine for your fingertips, tangerine infuses a happy sort of vibe and definitely stands out in a crowd. 06 of 10 Sky Blue For some summer manicure inspiration, all you have to do is look straight up. “A creamy light blue that evokes summer skies, sky blue nail polish is refreshing, cooling, and versatile,” says Van. “It’s a favorite on editorial shoots and celeb manis, and perfectly complements beachwear and denim alike.” 07 of 10 Aqua For a splashier take on blue, lap up some aqua. Lim says this is a top July nail color trend, and it’s perfect for everything from a seaside escape to moseying about town. It’s bright, joyful, and looks great with everything from crisp whites to colorful patterns. 08 of 10 Butter Yellow The stronghold butter yellow has on the fashion and beauty industry right now is not to be underrated. If you’re not keen on spending a lot on a new dress or shirt, you can dabble in the trend with your nails. Pham says, “This creamy, pastel yellow ranges from soft, almost vanilla-like shades to slightly deeper golden tones. It’s been seen on Chanel, Chloé, and Toteme runways, and acts as a neutral.” 09 of 10 Milky Pale Pink Minimalists will love this top July nail color, which pairs with everything in your wardrobe but still feels more elevated than a basic beige. “This is a translucent nude-meets-pale pink,” Van tells us. “It’s ideal for weddings, events, and everyday polish. A staple in the clean girl aesthetic and luxury bridal looks.” 10 of 10 Glazed Lilac Another barely-there trending July nail color is glazed lilac, with glazed light blue a close runner up. “These are colours that remind us of the sea and lavender fields,” Dubinina says. “The glazed finish adds a modern, dreamy touch to these gentle pastels.”

Summer is in full swing, making it time to head to the beach, lake, or pool for some much-needed cooling off. But before you go, you may want to give your swimsuit line some extra attention. (Just another one of those women-specific issues.) Shaving causes far too much razor burn, and waxing requires an appointment, or wrestling around in the bathroom with DIY options. Then there’s laser hair removal, but honestly, who has the money or the time? A hair removal depilatory cream is the answer to your summer hair-removal woes. This gentle and affordable option takes very little time and costs just $10 on Amazon. Veet Gel Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin Veet’s Gel Hair Remover for Sensitive Skin takes just minutes to apply and use, leaving you hair-free and out the door in no time. Simply apply the cream in a smooth layer over the desired area, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove the cream with the provided spatula, and then rinse your skin clean with warm water. No scrubbing, ripping, or plucking required. And bonus: This formula doubles as a moisturizer, hydrating skin for up to 24 hours. Unlike waxing, Veet Hair Remover eliminates even the short, stubborn hairs using 35 percent less chemicals than other hair remover creams on the market, according to the brand. It also removes hair closer to the root for long-lasting smoothness, as affirmed by one Amazon shopper who wrote, “Finally something that works!” They said, “I think using it on my legs and armpits lasts longer than traditional shaving.” This dermatologist-tested hair removal cream contains shea butter and lily to moisturize and soothe skin post-removal. Another five-star reviewer backed this claim, saying it “works wonderfully!” They noted, “It removes even short and stubborn hairs without irritation, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized… I've tried other hair removal creams before, but this one stands out for how well it works without causing any discomfort.” Before you head out on your beach vacation, don’t be afraid to put this depilatory to the test. Backed by thousands of five-star reviews, it seems to really do the trick. Plus, think about all the money you’ll save foregoing other options, like waxing and permanent hair removal, that require general maintenance. Veet proves that smooth and supple skin doesn’t have to be timely or costly. For more hair removal options, check out our other finds from Amazon below.

Fashion designer Christian Louboutin was a style genius whose name is now synonymous with luxury. He’s most well-known for his signature red-soled shoes, which are painted with an ultra-shiny, bright red lacquer on the bottom that captures just the right amount of knowing attention. Louboutin nails are inspired by the shoes, with that iconic flash of red popping up in the subtlest but chicest way. What Are Louboutin Nails? Louboutin nails mimic the designer’s famous shoe via an inky black top coat and bright red painted on the underside of the nail—just like the bright red soles of the designer’s iconic footwear. “It's the perfect stealth flex,” says Meagan Swartwood, manicurist and community manager at Arctic Fox. “It looks minimal and chic from above, then surprises with that red pop. You can also customize it with glitter, rhinestones, or go matte to make it.” It’s a simple manicure, but has just enough of a twist to keep things interesting and it’s a fun way to nod to the legacy of Louboutin. “This manicure embodies minimalism with attitude,” Swartwood says. “While other trends go full maximalist, this one keeps it clean but adds just enough edge to stand out.” Basically, it signals ‘expensive taste’ without much effort and definitely for way less cash. How to Get Louboutin Nails Want to sport some Loubie nails? Here’s what to ask for at the nail salon, and how to DIY them yourself. At the Salon If you’re requesting Louboutin nails at the salon, ask for a black nail polish on the top of your nail with a coat or two of bright red nail polish underneath. Seal everything with a glossy top coat. This look works best with longer nail shapes—like coffin or stiletto nails—so you can really get a flash of that red. “If you're going to do this design and gel, make sure to let them know since they will have to buff the underneath of the nail for the gel to stick,” advises Vicki Ornellas, manicurist and global educator with Salon Perfect. “Then let them know the two colors of your choice.” DIY Louboutin Nails To achieve this at home, Ornellas says to buff and paint the underside of your nail first, then let it dry completely. (A gel polish system will get this done in about 60 seconds.) Next, “apply black nail polish to the top of the nail, bringing [the polish] down the side walls completely so you don't see the red underneath,” says Orenellas. You can add some rhinestones for more glamour, or play with texture by using a matte top coat and a super shiny topcoat for the red.
