Megan Thee Stallion sees your subtle french manicure [1] and raises you her latest eye-catching set. The "Plan B" rapper [2] is currently wearing some wild light-up nails in Tokyo, where she's set to perform at Summer Sonic Festival this weekend.
She showed off her glow-in-the-dark manicure in a gallery of Instagram photos captioned, "First of all I'm in Japan living my best life 😂 second I gotta show y'all a close up of my light up nails because . . . my nail tech can do anything I ask." The manicurist she's referring to is Coca Michelle [3], who's responsible for bringing most of Megan's out-of-this-world nail looks [4] to life.
Michelle began crafting Megan's nails by applying long, coffin-shaped acrylics [5] decorated with turquoise patterns that subtly matched the Grammy winner's cutout catsuit [6]. She then secured tiny LED lights of varying colors underneath the tip of each acrylic, basically turning Megan's fingers into Christmas-tree lights. Michelle also gave herself a matching set featuring clear, square-shaped acrylics and small, multicolor lights.
With a summer dominated by far more low-key nail trends — see: milk-bath manicures [7] and '90s supermodel manicures [8] — could Meg's nails kick-start a move toward maximalism? If anyone can inspire that switch-up, it's her. Take a closer look at the star's light-up set to soak up the inspiration.
