Nails Like Rihanna: How To Get The Singer's Manicure For Less Than $10

Rihanna is definitely a fashion and beauty icon! From head to toe the singer/songwriter always looks stunning. RiRi is ELLE’s October cover star and her incredible looks are featured throughout the issue, but we’re particularly interested in a smaller style detail… her gorgeous manicure. Why? It’s none other than Target’s exclusive defy & INSPIRE polish!

Manicurist to the stars, Kimmie Kyees, is the genius behind Rihanna’s gorgeous manicure.

Kimmie, who also works with celebs like Katy Perry and Khloe Kardashian, gave the cover star the perfect burgundy mani for the shoot, using defy & INSPIRE’s Frenemy shade.

Find below how to create another popular fall look — the chrome nails!

1. It's important to prep a natural nail with a base coat like All About That Base.
2. Then, use two coats of defy & INSPIRE’s Moon Dust.
3. Complete the look by adding a top coat of Over The Top to seal in the color and give the manicure a great glossy shine. These metallic colors are so brilliant and the chrome effect is outstanding!
4. Finish with a cuticle oil.

Not ready for a full metallic mani? Kimmie’s got another idea…

“If someone wants a touch of metallic without committing to the full manicure, a nice French tip in metallic is gorgeous,” Kimmie said. “An accent nail is also a good way to incorporate metallic. You could also dabble in striping — possibly a strip along the smile line or vertically down the entire nail. There are so many fun ways to add a little something to your nails and when you do it using metallic, it becomes a real statement!”
