Rihanna's Latest Nail Look (It Involves Rhinestones and Animal Print)

Rihanna's most recent nail-art style is a wee bit over-the-top. It's a rhinestone leopard print French manicure. Yes, all of that. In one look.

Here her nails are in context:

The interesting thing here is how little of her nail bed is beige vs. long much printed tip there is—an unusual ratio. And the middle finger appears to be all sparkle below the dividing line, which I always think is interesting. Why single out one nail? Can anyone explain this to me?

Anyway, it's funky and off-beat and bizarrely glam. I can't recommend anyone copy it, but—and don't hate me for this—I think it kind of works for Rihanna. She's a rhinestone leopard print French manicure kind of girl.

Are you guys starting to get into nail art at all? Wish this would go away? Think this look is crazy? Kind of like it (on Rihanna only)? Discuss.
