Nail Trends: Rihanna’s Luxury Lizard Minx!!!

Our girl RIHANNA is a true style star.

In her most recent video,”Where Have You Been,” RIHANNA puts us on to yet another new trend, showing off her sexy reptile manicured nails.

Minx Nail celebrity manicurist KIMMIE KYEES worked on RI-RI Luxury Lizard Minx, a snakeskin design that features a red tip which fades into yellow, then green at the cuticle.

“This design came from a manicure kit I bought a while back, as it had a similar design,” explains KYEES.  “When I see cool textures or bright colors, I take photos, and when I had the chance to create the design, I played around with the colors until I found this combination.”

Minx co-founder and head designer Janice Jordan suggested translucent Minx, but Kimmie eventually decided to combine the snakeskin print over a hologram base for a final Minx template that sets off the dark lines of the scaling and shimmers in the light.

This new nail look is sure to be one of the hottest styles for mani and pedis this summer. It definitely has our Juicy stamp of approval.
