If you haven’t already fallen under the spell of butter-yellow manicures, where have you been? The pastel-neutral hybrid is chic, goes with literally everything, and has been gracing the hands of fashionistas everywhere. But here’s the thing—spring trends are like your ex’s promises: cute for a moment, but they don’t always last. Enter fluorescent yellow, the summer upgrade your nails deserve. And no one has made this transition more effortlessly than Tyla at the Billboard Women in Music event, rocking not just a neon manicure but a matching pedicure. Because why stop at one statement when you can make two?
Tyla’s Billboard Look: A Masterclass in Subtle-but-Not-So-Subtle Flexing
The blue carpet (yes, not red, keep up) saw Tyla stepping out in a Jean Paul Gaultier barely-there, but somehow still there black open-knit dress. She styled it with an updo so artfully undone that even the messiest of us felt personally attacked. But let’s be real—what really stole the show was her blazing-hot neon nails.
Her stiletto-shaped talons, courtesy of nail artist Saccia Livingston, were custom-mixed with three Aprés Nail shades: Lemon Sour, Cloud Nine, and Hi-Lite. (Basically, the holy trinity of ‘caution tape chic’). And for the commitment queens out there, she matched her pedicure too—because if you’re gonna glow, you might as well glow head to toe.
The Unexpected Trend: Matching Nails to Lingerie
Now, here’s where things get even spicier. When Tyla took the stage to perform Push 2 Start, she didn’t just stop at the nails—she coordinated her lacy bra to the same neon shade. A bold move? Absolutely. But also kind of genius? 100%.
Let’s be honest, most of us aren’t walking around in sheer tops and lacy bras outside of an Rihanna-level IDGAF moment. But matching your manicure to your undergarments? That’s the kind of low-key coordination that screams put-together but effortless. And who doesn’t want that energy?
So, if you’re looking for a way to shake up your nail game this summer, consider taking a page out of Tyla’s book: Go bold, match with intention, and don’t be afraid to turn heads.
