On Instagram, JLo shared a carousel of behind the scenes images from her night in Riyadh, wearing a deep teal-green sequin dress. However the fifth image, showing her crystal nails, stopped beauty lovers in their tracks.
Her hands were adorned with multiple diamond rings, and yet the real showstopper was the intricate sparkling Swarovski nail art that elevated her entire Elie Saab look.
Of course, the man behind this iconic 'mani moment' was Tom Bachik. Manicurist to the stars, Tom is the genius behind many viral A-list manicures. His clients include Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum and Camilla Cabello. (Who could forget his iconic wet look mani on Selena Gomez for the Emmy's back in September?)
Tom broke down the iconic bejewelled design on Instagram with a picture of the nail set and the caption, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend."
To get the look Tom detailed that he began with his own range of 'Tweezerman x Tom Bachik' tools. for "precision & perfection." Then Aprés Nail's Coffin Gel X Extensions in 'Clear' were used for the shape of the nails and Kokoist's 'Platinum Filler' was added to the nail base. To get that sleek metallic finish, he used Mia Secret's Chrome Silver Gel Paint. This was layered with his own Chrome Powder, which he teased is 'coming soon.' To add an extra touch of glam, Swarovski Crystals and Mia Secret's metallic flakes were used for the perfect pop.
In the comments, fans of the singers showered her with praise for the iconic look, with many commenting specifically on the intricate nail design. Celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons, who also styled Lopez’s hair for the evening, commented "You’re a genius!" Whilst others deemed the look, "simply iconic."
