At this point, there isn't anything left on the planet that hasn't already been turned into nail art. Floral manicures [1]? You bet. Fashion-inspired nail art [2]? Big yep. Now what about Lisa Frank [3]? Surprisingly, yes. Even so, Lizzo [4] still managed to catch us by surprise with her truly niche wood-inspired nail art at the 2019 BET Awards [5].
The singer, who performed "Truth Hurts" at the star-studded award show [6], matched her manicure to her monochromatic wood-print House of Holland outfit. Done by Eri Ishizu, the nail art also gave Lizzo a lot of comic material to work with. She did not disappoint, captioning one of her photos, "Ooop! Did I give you a woody?"
Ishizu said in a press statement she used a white base layered with a range of nude shades and vertical streaks to create the "dimensional wood-like pattern." The celebrity manicurist exclusively used Essie nail polish, including the colors Blanc [7], Less Is Aura [8], Truth or Bare [9], Seeing Stars [10], and Licorice [11]. "The end result was a unique, earthy nail art look," Ishizu said. Look ahead for photos of Lizzo loving her punny manicure.
