Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Holiday Halo French’ Is Winter’s Prettiest Manicure

We can always count on Jennifer Lopez to bring a little something extra to the table, and her manicure philosophy is no exception. She recently debuted a spin on the classic French mani that’s worth copying immediately for all of your holiday parties.

Celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik shared a close-up of the look he created for J.Lo, and we’re taking notes: The base is a hybrid of some of our favourite 2025 nail trends, featuring milky white tips and a ‘tucked’ French manicure shape (meaning that the white edges extend further down toward the cuticle, giving the tips a wrap-around effect). But the main event is the thin line of glitter that traces through the middle of each almond-shaped nail. Since it sits inside of the white tips rather than along an outer edge, it adds a dimensional halo effect.

While glitter manicures are always in style for the holiday season, Lopez’s latest set is perfect for the minimalistic nail crowd. It’s still super versatile but adds just enough festive energy to feel special. Best yet, it’ll transition seamlessly from warm, glowy holiday parties to sparkling New Year’s Eve vibes.

Other celebs may be sporting maximalist nail art (animal print has been an unexpected December trend), Jennifer Lopez has stuck with neutral vibes for the holidays so far. She wore a cosy nude manicure for Thanksgiving, and Bachik’s photo of her current set proves a French mani pairs best with diamonds and evergreen tones for Christmas. But for some added elegance, she’s swapped out her short fall nails for her signature XL tips.
