So, what are lip gloss nails, exactly? While matte, chrome and bedazzled nails have always been fun options, but the lip gloss trend tones things down for a more natural look that still gleams. It should have a similar effect to a high-shine lip gloss on your lips, especially when worn over a nude. It’s a “no makeup makeup” look for your nails, and it fits perfectly into the “clean girl” aesthetic TikTok has been loving.
So, where does J. Lo come in? The forever trendsetting star recently rocked lip gloss nails of her own at the premiere of her new film, Shotgun Wedding. Nail artist Tom Bachik revealed his technique for “nailing” the look on Instagram. He started with nail and cuticle care, of course, before applying tips. But how did he get that beautiful color with an ever-so-soft two-tone look? He mixed two shades!

“I custom mixed the perfect lip gloss color just for Mrs. Affleck,” Bachik wrote on Instagram. “A semi sheer high gloss nude playing off her skin tone.” While we don’t have the exact shades he used, we found two on Amazon Prime that you can mix together yourself to recreate the look. Remember: semi-sheer, high gloss. A pink and a nude. These “jelly”-like Crystal Pink and Sheer Brown gel shades from GAOY are our picks!
