They matched her lip liner.
Yes, you heard that right.
There’s something in the air—slightly musky, a little sweet. Smells like the Indie Sleaze revival is officially in full bloom. And while we’re holding onto our ripped tights like sacred scrolls, Rihanna just handed us another relic of chaotic glam to obsess over: a matte black French manicure so sharp, it could cut through a Tumblr filter.
The Nails: Matte Black with a Glossy Twist
In her latest Fenty Beauty campaign for the new Gloss Bomb Oil, the 37-year-old icon gave us an ultra-cool, high-contrast nail moment. Created by celeb nail artist Pika, the look serves short, square nails painted in jet black with a matte finish, but wait—there’s a twist. The tips? Glossy AF. Think patent leather mary janes… but for your fingertips.
How to steal the look:
- Use a deep black polish like OPI’s Black Onyx
- Apply a matte top coat across the full nail
- Then, go back and carefully coat just the tips in a high-shine top coat
Matte meets gloss. Indie meets polish. It’s giving layered Tumblr aesthetics with a luxury upgrade.
The Makeup: Gloss Bomb Girlcore
While the nails had their moment, let’s not ignore the glam. This is a lip gloss campaign, after all.
Rihanna served seven looks—one for each Gloss Bomb Oil shade—but the standout? A cool, shimmery brown lip combo featuring:
- Gloss Bomb Oil in Rose Amber
- Trace’d Out Lip Liner in Brown’d Out
The lip screamed party girl, early-2010s Tumblr-core in the best way.
Add in heavy bottom lashes, a swipe of black liner, and we’re ready to hit the club (or the corner store at 2AM).
Honestly? If Rih never steps back into the studio, I’m good.
Loud is still perfect. Her nails are better than ever.
And party girl makeup? Never going out of style.
