When it’s hot outside, whatever you wear has to stand out—and Jennifer Lopez knows that includes a great manicure. Of course, she turned to her go-to nail artist, Tom Bachik, for a look that fits the European summer she’s been enjoying. While she’s been mostly vacationing in Italy with her family, her latest style captures the best of French girl beauty, blending Brigitte Bardot’s romantic charm with Jane Birkin’s effortless cool.

Lopez shared the look on Instagram, wearing a white ’60s-style satin bikini and a crochet hair kerchief, paired with black-spotted white slingback heels, oversized black sunglasses, and a white box bag. Very Bardot. (The bandana has also been the celebrity hair accessory of the season, worn by everyone from Zendaya to Gracie Abrams and Dua Lipa to both style and protect their hair.)

Her elegantly long, rounded nails—shaped and perfected with tools from Bachik’s Tweezerman collab—were a soft, creamy pink. Bachik shared that he used Apré Nail’s Light & Shadow Sheer Gel Couleur in the shade Burnt Blush. It’s a color that fits perfectly with the current trend of barely-there manicures that feel fresh and clean: soap nails, jelly nails, and soft, natural tones. Bachik’s other famous client, Selena Gomez, has also been sticking with her own nude-pink set.

“Leo season continues,” J-Lo captioned her series of photos.

Vacationing across Italy, Lopez kept her signature glam: bronzed, warmly contoured skin, shimmery nude eyeshadow, and long, luxurious lashes. Her nails were simple but chic, a luminous nude. When she ventured further into the Italian countryside, though, she added floral, colorful decals to match the la dolce vita vibe.

While the French manicure will always be a timeless summer nail trend, a delicate pink manicure could easily last you all season. It’s a versatile look that works just as well with a bikini on the beach as it does with one of J-Lo’s more daring evening outfits. And since the shade is so natural, any nail growth will look minimal—so you won’t need to hunt down a nail salon during your own European getaway. (But if you’re J-Lo, the glam team is always ready, wherever you are.)

Don’t expect Jennifer Lopez, a nail chameleon, to stick with one shade for long. Something chrome, sculptural, and 3D is surely on the way.
