Lily Collins Doesn’t Just Have A Chic Fresh Bob Her Manicure Is Ultra Demure

For the first half of the fourth season, it was a fresh bob. And with the arrival of the second half of the fourth season, the actress has done it again. And while everyone’s attention is focused on her 20s-chic hairdo, we can’t take our eyes off something else: a manicure that’s truly the pinnacle of poise – or demure of the trend.

So what’s the formula for the ultimate demure manicure?

Length: Nails are not too short – say, a few millimeters longer than the shortest possible length. Shape: Slightly rounded, natural. Color: Nude, practically the same shade as your natural nail. Finish: Very shiny, very polished, very measured. Style: What we want here is absolute naturalness. We want an elegant, discreet manicure that is one hundred percent adaptable to any occasion. The color works throughout the day and the shine isn’t too shiny.

If you’re looking for a very measured, very demure manicure like Lily Collins, the number one tip is to avoid bright or intensely pigmented shades. Nudes and simple pinks are your allies, as long as they have that natural glossy finish.
