Our excitement about the nail looks in 2019 is on par with Lady Gaga's famous description of producer Ryan Murphy: They were "brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular . . ." and the list goes on.
This year, celebrities enlisted some of the most talented artists to create ornate works on the tiny surfaces of their nails. Some of these best include Lizzo's "gold nugget" nails, Rihanna's gold drip design, and Elle Fanning's pierced neon tips.
Millie Bobby Brown's manicure for the launch of her brand Florence by Mills might just inspire you to try multiple nail trends at once. She wore long, square nails with a purple gradient tip and negative-space accents.

Don't be distracted by Lizzo's brightly printed outfit — her equally standout extralong "gold nugget" nails are just as good.
Elle Fanning's fluorescent nail art look at the Met Gala was created by celebrity manicurist Mar Y Sol, who used Strike a Rose ($9) — a neon hot pink shade from Essie's Summer 2019 collection — as the base, and bedazzled each finger with a different charm.
From afar, Blake Lively's nails appeared to be solid shade of canary yellow to match her dress of the same shade. Up close, you'll find that the actress actually had Pokémon-themed nail art carefully painted onto two accent nails.
If you're a fan of anime (Japanese animated films and TV shows) and manga (Japanese-born comics) or you just love damn good nail art, you're going to want to copy Jordyn Woods's nail art.
