In no community is \u201cto each their own\u201d more true than the beauty coterie. I know that if you don’t get a bob right after I get bob, it’s not because you don’t like my bob\u2014it’s because you just prefer longer hair for yourself. And while I know plenty of people who insist on a squared-off nail shape, it’s just never been for me. I prefer the softer look of an oval or almond shape, especially if there’s a French manicure involved. But Demi Lovato<\/strong> might have just recruited me to the square side with what her nail tech is calling the \u201cmicro straight French.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lovato is getting the word out about her upcoming ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep<\/em>, and that includes bopping around New York City during New York Fashion Week. The singer was spotted in a variety of devastatingly cool outfits, like a red long-sleeve top and low-slung black pants, and a belted, ribbed, burgundy catsuit. But just in case you couldn’t quite zoom in enough to get a close-up of her equally awesome nails, her go-to nail artist, Natalie Minerva, is happy to oblige.<\/p>\n

In a new Instagram carousel, we get a clear look at a totally fresh take on how to do a French manicure on squoval nails (square nails with a bit of softness on the edges). Whereas French manicures typically curve along the edge of the nail down to the cuticle\u2014even when it’s done on square nails\u2014Lovato’s micro tips are painted straight across.<\/p>\n

And those straight little tips make a big impact in the prettiest metallic shade, a chrome-like platinum sitting atop a combination of OPI For the Fill of It Nail Builder Gel and OPI Pearl Clutching Behavior, which is available as a non-gel polish as well.<\/p>\n

As soon as I saw this, my entire brain chemistry shifted and my mind suddenly opened up to the possibility of not-oval nails and not-curved French manicures. But if you’re still Team Oval, don’t worry\u2014this pretty silver streak will look just as lovely as a curved tip.<\/p>\n
