The BLACKPINK star\u2019s nude manicure with a single red gem accent is also a reminder that award-season nails, from the Met Gala to the VMAs, now make as many headlines as the gowns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The pop star, who is performing her new single \u201cSaWaDiKa\u201d and is up for four awards, arrived at the 43rd annual ceremony in head-to-toe crimson: a red lace The Attico gown with bustier detailing, topped with a statement-making Quine Li coat with a long train. She completed the monochrome look with red pointed-toe heels but kept the red to a minimum on her nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-segment\">\n<h2 id=\"lisas-vmas-nail-look-up-close\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">Lisa\u2019s VMAs Nail Look, Up Close<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/88f6fcaa3dae558eb1e878fed2909f9651cddffc-2256x1504.jpg?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"Lisa in a red lace gown with nude talon-shaped nails at the 2026 MTV VMAs\" width=\"2256\" height=\"1504\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"mt-2 text-center text-sm italic text-gray-500\">Getty Images \/ Monica Schipper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The manicure comes courtesy of celebrity nail artist Juan Alvear, who calls himself \u201cforever experimenting\u201d in his Instagram bio, and it shows. Instead of a sharp stiletto or almond curve, her nails curve into an elongated, talon-like point. She topped off the look with a stack of chunky rings, plus red gemstone accents scattered across a couple of nails for a subtle pop of color against the nude base.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"lisas-best-nail-moments-with-juan-alvear\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">Lisa\u2019s Best Nail Moments With Juan Alvear<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">This isn\u2019t the first time Alvear has turned Lisa\u2019s hands into a work of art. He gave her an icy, rhinestone-encrusted press-on set at the 2026 Met Gala, a maximalist gold-jewel manicure for BLACKPINK&#8217;s Deadline World Tour and a gold-flake ombr\u00e9 look at the 2026 Golden Globes. At this point, Lisa\u2019s nails are as much her signature as her wardrobe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lalisa \u201cLisa\u201d Manobal\u2019s sculptural, talon-shaped nails  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
