Jennifer Lopez is showing her love for Ben Affleck [1] in many ways — including with her manicure. On May 31, Lopez's longtime manicurist Tom Bachik [2] shared a close-up photo of the superstar's latest design, and it includes a sweet shoutout to her fiancé, courtesy of the initial nails trend [3]. The light-nude, oval-shaped manicure, which was painted with the GelBottle's "Dune" shade [4], includes a gold heart on her middle and pinky fingers. On her ring finger, Lopez has "J x B" written in an uppercase gothic font as a loving nod to Affleck. "If you know. . . then you know 🏹 Jen and Ben forever," Bachik captioned the photo.
The gold design on the nude shade looked dreamy with Lopez's massive green engagement ring [5]. After they rekindled their romance [6] in May 2021, Affleck proposed to Lopez [7] in April with the stunning ring — which has a symbolic meaning for them. "I always say the color green is my lucky color. Maybe you can remember a certain green dress," she told People at the time. "I've realized there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green."
While some people jokingly "become a lefty" after getting engaged in an effort to show off their new jewelry, Lopez's latest manicure serves as a unique way to highlight her ring — and the shoutout to Affleck is the romantic cherry on top. Her manicures have always brought a bit of glam to her timeless style: she and Bachik went for a double french manicure at the iHeartRadio Music Awards [8], and they also recently did a nude french manicure with rhinestone embellishments [9]. She's even dabbled in the milk-bath manicure trend [10]. See Lopez's nail-art tribute to her fiancé below.
