Jennifer Lopez is a manicure girl. The originator of milky-toned, lip-gloss, and sweater-weather manicures (just to name a few), she’s always having fun and pushing the boundaries of beauty when it comes to her nails.
Today, through her go-to nail artist Tom Bachik’s Instagram, Lopez kept that trend going—and was maybe sending a sign too. The multihyphenate entered a new single-girl era at the start of the year. And while you may assume she’d want to channel the confidence and ferocity of a lion (her star sign), apparently a butterfly is more of her speed for this phase of life—at least when it comes to her manicure.
To create the bedazzled manicure, which Bachik calls the Butterfly Kisses look, the nail artist traced black 2000s-style butterflies on J.Lo’s opalescent nails. To complete the look, he added dozens of Swarovski stones, which clearly matched the outfit Lopez wore in the photo.
Across literature and film, butterflies have always been associated with moments of rebirth and transformation. The bug starts as a caterpillar before building a cocoon around itself and emerging entirely anew. Perhaps that’s what Lopez is channeling in this moment. And if not? Well, it’s a gorgeous manicure.
