Here's how J.Lo's manicurist created her milky wedding nails

There was certainly no shortage of romantic details at Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's wedding reception in Georgia, as the bride recently shared in her On The JLo newsletter. But one of the smallest details — her milky white French manicure — is perhaps the most meaningful. (ICYDK: Lopez loves a fun French manicure.)

Lopez's longtime manicurist Tom Bachik shared a close-up of the actress and singer's "timeless" nails with an "elegant twist," as he put it in the caption of his Instagram post. For her second wedding to Affleck, Lopez opted for a subtle French manicure accented with flowers and a single hummingbird on her ring finger. Along with a photo of the bride and groom's nails (including her green diamond ring), Bachik also shared details on the exact products he used to give the JLo Beauty founder her dreamy mani, so you can do the look yourself at home.

Here's the exact nail polish Jennifer Lopez wore for her Las Vegas wedding

"Minimal but meaningful wedding anniversary mani 🤍 🕊," Bachik writes of his famous client's tips. "White on white on white was the mood," he adds, suggesting that "intimate moments and personal details [are] what made Jennifer's custom wedding nails so special."

To create the wedding-worthy manicure, Bachik prepped Lopez's nails with the Tweezerman x Tom Bachik Ultimate Nail Care Set, which includes seven tools to get nails in tip-top shape. He then added "just the right amount of length" using Mia Secret Gel Extension Tips.

Bachik reveals that Lopez is "loving milky nails" these days, adding that he appreciates "how they add a timeless feel and elegant touch to a classic French style," he writes in his caption. To add extra depth, he mixed Mia Secret Gelux Gel Nail Polish in White with the brand's Luxury UV Base and Top Coat, an all-in-one sealant that adds shine and durability to natural nails.

The real star of Bachik's manicure, however, is the intricate nail art with accents that he hand-painted. Using a "tiny detail brush" and Mia Secret Gel Paint in Snow White, he painted flowers and a hummingbird just on Lopez's ring finger. “The artwork was kept subtle and barely noticeable [except] to those who knew 😉,” the famous manicurist adds.

Devoted fans may already know that hummingbirds are special to the Marry Me star, which she revealed after announcing her engagement to Affleck in her newsletter in April 2022, People reported. At the time, she shared a photo of a piece of art in her office featuring a green hummingbird. "I don't buy much art, but I bought these. One because I love hummingbirds and two because I love the color green," she wrote in her newsletter.

"Birds are always flying around me. I've always had a special relationship with hummingbirds. I realized that a lot of people say that they symbolize love," she explained. “Whenever I am in a moment of doubt and confusion, one magically appears at my window and reminds me that the universe will always speak to us if we are open to the signs.”

To add the final magical touch to her symbolic mani, Bachik "lightly matted the tips and flowers on the nails" with Mia Secret Gelux Gel Polish in Silver Glitter, he shares in the caption of his Instagram post. "It wouldn't be J.Lo without Sparkle✨," adds Bachik, who also made sure Lopez's hands were properly moisturized with a few essential Chanel products. He used L'Huile Camelia Hydrating and Fortifying Oil and Le Lift La Crème Main to create what he calls a "cuticle cocktail" for healthy-looking skin.

Nail slugging is the latest TikTok trend, and yes, it basically just uses cuticle oil

Even though Bachik shared the secrets to Lopez's second wedding manicure, it can be difficult to do at home, especially if you want to incorporate accent art like she did. So if you've got your heart set on the romantic French manicure with a twist, you might want to head to the salon with a picture of Lopez's nails to see for yourself.
