Found: The $4 Nail Polish Harry Styles Wore in His "Watermelon Sugar" Video
Harry Styles has done it again, y'all. Aside from offering up endless sartorial inspiration in the form of printed sweaters, grunge flannels, and frilly blouses, the English singer is also known to take unexpected beauty risks. Specifically, he loves to rock a bold manicure featuring fashionable elements like bright hues and even stylish designs. Simply put, the man is nail goals.
This week marks the release of the music video to accompany Styles' hit single "Watermelon Sugar," and the summertime vibe of the flick has left us all craving the beach (and a bite of seasonal fruit). In the video, Styles partakes in a surprisingly titillating watermelon feast while being fawned over by about a dozen models. But the thing that stuck out most? His nail polish, of course! The perfect shade of neon coral popped from the first frames of the video and kept capturing our attention for all three minutes and eight seconds until the very end.
If like us, you're a fan of the polish, then you'll be pleased to know that we did some light internet stalking and located the Instagram account for celebrity nail tech Sreynin Peng, who was the manicurist on set of the new video. She shared in a recent Instagram story that the nail polish in question is a shade by Salon Perfect called Flamingo Flair. The best part? It only costs $4!
Maybe it's our adoration for the stylish Brit, or maybe we're just itching to amp up the summer vibes, but we're sensing a hot nail trend in the making. Keep scrolling for more "Watermelon Sugar"–inspired nail polishes, then check out a few of our favorite Styles nail moments for even more summer manicure inspiration.
