Keke Palmer has been providing non-stop beauty inspiration lately and we have been loving every minute of it. From bombshell waves to paint-chip nails [2] that remind us of all the best parts of summer, she has landed — and remained — on our mood boards over the past few months. Her latest look deserves the same level of adoration, thanks in part, to her textured nails [3] that we want to recreate ASAP.
Extensions were added to Palmer's nails, which gave them about an inch and a half of extra length. They were filed into a tapered-square shape [4] before different shades of polish were added to each one. Colors like sheer blue [5], black, and even orange were used for the base, and to take the look up a notch, different 3D designs like swirls and abstract line work were added on top. This resulted in a truly one-of-a-kind manicure that just screams summer. She finished the beauty look with a high bun and soft makeup.
Textured nails have been having a serious moment this season, and the look has been spotted at Fashion Weeks and on social media alike. Trends like seashell designs [6] and liquid-molten nails [7] rely heavily on the use of hard gel. Should you need some timely inspiration ahead of that next mani appointment, take a closer look at Palmer's nails below.
