Matte Nails Are a Modern Look J-Lo’s Manicurist Loves
In This Article
We’re falling fast for matte nails! This super trendy look is accomplished with a matte polish or just a topcoat, and it’s been steadily gaining popularity this year. Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik, who works with A-listers like Selena Gomez and J-Lo, recently gave the trend his stamp of approval, and we’re predicting it’ll dominate the holiday season.
J-Lo’s Manicurist Says Matte Manis Are In
Bachik, known for setting some of the year’s biggest nail trends (think: apple cider nails and olive-inspired nails), never misses. His choice of colors and finishes have inspired some of our favorite mani moments of 2024. So, it’s no surprise seeing him approve of matte nails, a finish that adds a luxurious edge to any look. Calling a matte finish a “modern twist” in his Instagram post, Bachik shows us just how sophisticated this look can be with a bright red matte mani.
