Red carpet appearances feature dark polish

Hailey Bieber paired glossy black almond-shaped nails with a pink Chanel gown at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala. Her nail artist used OPI Intelli-Gel in Black Onyx to create a lacquer-like shine on the elongated shape. Dua Lipa has worn this midnight shade even during summer months when brighter colors are typical.

Stars prefer simple manicures over art

Kylie Jenner matched her glossy black nails with a pink dress at a holiday party for her cosmetics brand. Both Jenner and Bieber selected this dark shade instead of adding color pops to neutral outfits or choosing burgundy tones. This choice marks a shift away from the glazed styles that have defined Bieber's recent public appearances.
