Female celebrity claws nails Coachella 2025? Oh, honey, Lisa didn’t just slay Coachella—she clawed her way through it, literally. Forget mic drops—Lisa showed up with nails so sharp, they could slice through the haters and your Wi-Fi signal.

The White Lotus scene-stealer and global stage dominator strutted onto the Coachella stage solo for the first time and made sure our jaws hit the desert floor. Why? Because homegirl was rocking a set of sculpted, XXL reptilian glam claws straight outta a magical monster manual.

Her mani moment, courtesy of celebrity nail sorcerer Juan Alvear, was inspired by creature-core fantasy and thorny bodysuit couture. “I wanted to lean into the creature fantasy of it all,” said Alvear, probably while whispering spells over his nail polish. He shaped the claws to match the thorn details on Lisa’s futuristic fit, and let’s just say—Mother Nature wants her blueprints back.

To create these talon-level tips, Alvear used Après Nail Gel-X Almond Medium Tips (say that five times fast) with the brand’s Extend Gel Novice adhesive to sculpt the dramatic bend. Then came the sorcery: a magical mix of Light & Shadow polish in Renewal (a sheer shimmer white), Gel Couleur in Midnight Shadow (a jelly black), and chrome powder so frosty, Elsa called.

Lisa’s been on a mani mission lately. We’re still recovering from her golden ombré moment at The White Lotus premiere, and who could forget those chic gray ombré Oscars claws that paired with her tuxedo gown like caviar with champagne?

Apparently, for Coachella, Lisa didn’t even fully remember what design they agreed on. When Alvear asked her if she remembered the plan, she said, “No, but I just trust you!” ICON BEHAVIOR.

Weekend 2? The nail tea is still piping hot. Alvear says they’re “still deciding” on the next set. If the claws come back sharper, we’re showing up in chainmail.
