If everyone else recalls the “The Dress” photo controversy that went viral in 2015, you’ll find that J.Lo ‘s latest marine manicure has sparked a similar discussion. This is the colour conundrum — is the polish black? Is it navy blue? It’s somebody’s guess, but one thing is for sure — it’s the answer for those who are sick of painting taupes, pumpkin oranges, and browns on their nails.
It’s the right colour, no matter whether you’re seeing black or blue, whether neutrals and orange-colored polishes are starting to bore you. Paired with her shimmering $1 million engagement ring and a beautiful reusable cup, the usual moody vibe that ultra dark manicures are always branded is not the case here.

In 2020 the stars appear to have taken a taste of this lustrous finish instead. Case in point: Kylie Jenner’s chestnut brown extensions of the last week and their reflective top coat and even Lizzo’s “VOTE” manicure at the Billboard Music Awards were shiny. If your eye is taken by this dark tone and shiny top coat, you should give your neutral lacquers a boot and test these borderline black and navy nail polish shades, like Lopez’s, below.
