I cannot stress enough how mesmerized I've been by Lizzo's beauty looks on the Special tour. Even when she isn't performing all over the world, she constantly blesses her fans with colorful hair, bright makeup, and other creative beauty moments. But she gave us an extra treat on May 11 when shared her latest metallic manicure.

She shared a few photos of the look on Instagram with the caption, “Definitely the prettiest bitch I know.” Unlike her usual sets, this is one of the shortest manicures we've seen on her. Her go-to nail artist Eri Ishizu painted the “About Damn Time” singer's natural nails using flash glitter polish and chrome powder. Ishizu tells Allure that because Lizzo is changing her nails every three to five days for the tour, they wanted to give her natural nails a break from extensions. 

She filed and shaped Lizzo's nails into a squoval form before painting them with Kiara Sky's Diamond FX Gel polish in the purple shade Aurora. Then she added Nail Labo's Mirror Chrome Powder in Silver on top. According to Ishizu, flash glitter polishes are a new trendy type of gel polish that “looks like mini diamonds when captured with flash." It makes sense that her glittery nails nearly looked lavender from some angles and silver from others. 

Makeup artist Alexx Mayo carved out her crease and blended matte purple shadows above her crease and onto her brow bone. A glittery silver pigment gleamed on her lids. He buffed more purple matte shadows onto her waterline area and added a shimmery silver pigment to her inner corner as well. Her lashes were so long they nearly touched her brows. Mayo made her gleam like a diamond with highlighter on her nose and applied a hot pink blush onto the apples of her cheeks and cheekbones for a gorgeous flush.

The Special tour doesn't officially end until July 30, so until then Lizzo and her glam squad will continue to bless us with numerous stunning beauty moments. I'd love it if her next look involved warmer colors like yellow, red, and orange for a sunset vibe.
