When we saw that Demi Lovato attended the premiere of Paris Hilton’s new documentary, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, we knew she must have been wearing an incredible manicure. She always does! But it wasn’t until a couple of days later that her go-to nail artist, Natalie Minerva, shared a close-up of her nails, and nothing could have prepared us for just how cool it actually is.
Lovato wore a strapless, fitted-yet-drapey Maticevski dress to Tuesday’s Los Angeles event, and the gorgeous gray hue definitely served as inspiration for Minerva’s manicure.

“I saw what Demi was wearing for the premiere, and so gray was definitely the top contender. I’ve been really into gray and cooler toned nails lately because it’s so easy on the eyes,” Minerva tells Allure. She filed the nails into a squoval shape and started with a coat of OPI Suzi Talks With Her Hands. “Then, we added a new soft, fine pigment magnet gel I just got in Japan.”
In a reel Minerva posted to Instagram, she adds, “D said it reminded her of dolphin skin. I’m like, wait, actually, you’re right.”
And while that description may sound ever so slightly icky, we cannot argue—and we cannot complain. That’s a bottle nose complexion in manicure form if we’ve ever seen one, and it’s stunning.
