In fact, if you stalk J.Lo's Instagram like we do, you probably noticed that the lady's nails are always on point, like, no matter what! Just recently she had her nails decorated with her and fiancé Ben Affleck's initials!

Her manicurist has revealed that the superstar takes such special care of her nails and her hands that she actually gets them done every day. The pair switch up her looks and coordinate them with her head-turning outfits and keep them looking fresh, no matter which project she's working on. The singer's nails are so versatile, and she rocks everything from super-glamorous sparkly nails to subtle natural nails. And actually, daily manicures are likely much healthier and cause less damage than gel, dip, or artificial nails.
Tom has done Jen's nails for some of the biggest events of her career, including the Super Bowl halftime show, where they looked incredible. She's the queen of glamour, and her nails are no exception. Here's a look at some of the times J.Lo's manicures have totally slayed!
Even J.Lo's nails are in love with Ben Affleck.
We're still so happy for Jen and Ben, and if Jen's latest choice of nail art is any indication, the excitement of her rekindled romance with Ben hasn't worn off, either. This manicure proves just how loved up she is.
The glitter ombré nail trend will never die.
Definitely not as long as it's a go-to for J.Lo. Honestly though, J.Lo's manicurist does it best. These nails are so smooth and seamless, and the fine glitter makes them seem really high-end.
These floral nails are a dream.
How gorgeous are these floral nails? We've been loving the look of totally sheer nail polish under bright designs lately, and this totally fits the bill. These nails remind us of pressed flowers.
A little sparkle never hurt.
Tom loves showing off the results of the work he does on the singer's nails, and he rarely disappoints. These are so classy and glamorous, just like she is. "Fresh #Nudenails with a little Sparkle @jlo #nailsbytombachik," he captioned this post.
Jen loves to match.
The actress really looks lovely in purple. She matched her gorgeous purple nails to her eye shadow, and it looked so incredibly beautiful. "Pretty in purple. A vivid lavender #monochromatic look for @jlo #nailsbytombachik."
She doesn't shy away from color.
"Spring has sprung @jlo #ManiMonday #nailsbytombachik," Tom captioned this gorgeous yellow mani he did on J.Lo in March 2020. The brightness of the color went well with the shine of her gorgeous diamonds.
This close-up is mesmerizing.
Her nails are so perfectly manicured, and they look strong and natural—but also so glamorous. "I’m slightly obsessed with sparkles at the moment. #TBT #nailsbytombachik," Tom captioned this awesome pic of J.Lo's nails in February 2020.
She loves wearing designer down to her nails.
J.Lo might be from the block, but her taste level has definitely elevated, and this manicure is proof. The singer rocked some gorgeous nails with beautiful designs covered with the Chanel logo. They look so chic and perfectly polished.
She once rocked some fractured glass nail art.
The details in these nails are to die for! It looks like the nail art is made out of Swarovski crystals! "Still my one of my favorites!! @jlo #nailsbytombachik Fractured Glass with some Bling ✨ #jlonails #jlo #manicure #nailart #swarovski," he captioned this post in February 2020.
J.Lo can rock a bright pink so well.
J.Lo can do a subtle nude color, but she can also pull off some bright pink nails like these, and they look amazing on her. Tom hooked her up with this look for a taping of her show World of Dance, and they surely stood out.
She gave the neon trend a try.
She is not afraid of standing out! These bright nails are definitely visible from a mile away, and they look so fierce on her. Tom captioned it, "A little neon for our girl! #neonnails #nailcolor by @kiaraskynails 'New Yolk City.'"
She makes a statement with her nails.
She got these beautiful beige nails with gold designs to honor Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna after their deaths in January 2020. She wore these the day of their memorial service on February 24, with the numbers "2" and "24" written on her nails to honor their jersey numbers.
She has always been about her bling.
We never expect J.Lo to be simple or plain in anything that she does, and these gorgeous, over-the-top nails are the proof. Look at the various designs these nails have! They are truly fit for a superstar.
J.Lo loves a good nude.
And who doesn't? This color in particular is so beautiful because it is elegant and classy with a hint of sparkle and shine to make it more fun. "The only thing better than a nude nail is a nude nail with sparkle. Am I right?!" the nail artist captioned this snap.
She makes glitter nails look so kickin'.
Jen paired this bronzy manicure with big hoop earrings, a high braid, and bright orange lips that gave us serious "Jenny from the Block" feels. We love this darker glimmer shade for a more sultry look.
She appreciates wild nail art.
Jen easily goes back and forth between classic, clean, nude manicures and totally flashy manis with tons of embellishments, like that time she got her nails iced out in bling. Her hands look so fierce!
She’s not afraid to go bright.
J.Lo rocks neon nails. These nails look so perfect, they almost don't even look real. Yasss, Queen! This green is such a gorgeous summer shade, and we love the delicate shaping of this mani.
Her nails were done with real dinero!
Don't even get us started on that time she cut up a real $100 bill to decorate her nails to promote her song "Dinero." What's the point of being J.Lo if you can't just be totally over the top once in a while?
Sometimes she rocks pastel nails.
Because a girl's gotta be soft and polished, too! Jen really has a lot of fun with her nails and seems to use them to express her mood, try out new trends, and create a theme for her looks for certain events and occasions.
She loves a little sparkle.
J.Lo has always been all about the bling, so we're not surprised at all that she rocks glitter nails so often. It's the perfect way to add just a little bit more sparkle. This mani perfectly matched her dress—obsessed!
La cantante doesn't shy away from bold colors.
Jen knows that true style is all about the details. Don't be surprised to see her in a chic monochromatic outfit paired with bold nails. Her manicurist also shared a photo of her wearing a bold blue-green chrome nail color.
She accessorizes her manis like it’s nobody’s business.
And we don’t just mean with nail art designs—we mean with blinged-out jewelry! Have you noticed yet that J.Lo often coordinates her jewelry with her manicures? Honestly, we can't even imagine how much jewelry she actually owns.
She appreciates clean, nude nails.
Especially on those days when she’s rocking natural hair and a bare face. Just like Jen is not afraid to go makeup-free in public, she's also cool with having natural-looking nails sometimes.
We rarely ever see her with shorter nails.
But when we do, you best believe those babies are polished. Despite their shorter length and square shape, these nails really create a dramatic effect, especially combined with that intense smoky eye.
Her manicurist posted this hand-painted work of art.
The nail artist shared this glittery #TBT in June 2018 and said the intricate design was all done by hand. This is so impressive! It's super cool how Jen honored her Bronx roots with the graffiti style.
