Jennifer Lopez Ditches Her Signature Bubble Bath Manicure for the Black Cherry Nail Trend

Jennifer Lopez rarely strays from her signature glam: glossy nude lips, sun-kissed skin, caramel highlights, and bubble bath nails. It's a look she's refined over the course of many years and it continues to serve her well. When she does experiment with winter nail color trends, though, it always feels like a little treat intended specifically for me.

For a Sunday brunch event meant to promote her new movie, Unstoppable, the star branched out from her usual milk pink manicure with trendy black cherry tips that were filed into a squared-off shape. The hue broke up her otherwise all-black ensemble, which was comprised of a Patou trench coat and micro-mini skirt accessorized with thigh-high boots.

Her shade also tapped into the season's top color trend: burgundy. Hailey Bieber has already taken the wine-red manicure trend for a spin once this year, although her color choice leaned a bit more brown than J.Lo's juicy shade of merlot. Thankfully, nail artist Tom Bachik didn't make us wait very long for confirmation on the exact polish she's wearing: CND Shellac in Black Cherry.

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
