When Megan Thee Stallion and her nail artist Coca Michelle come together, they create manicures that explain why nail art is called what it is: art. One of the latest manicures the duo created appears to have three different nail designs, so I'm officially dubbing it the Gilded Jelly French.

Thee Stallion first teased the golden manicure in an Instagram photo dump posted on October 20. You can see the stiletto tips in the seventh photo, in which she is holding a glass full of bubbly. Thankfully, Michelle shared four clearer photos and a short clip of the manicure on her own Instagram page. In the first picture, Meg has one hand outstretched and another holding the glass — a phenomenal and artistic nailfie that displays each chrome C-curve tip well. 

For these pointy nails, Michelle used nail charms, specifically golden charms from the Rising Collection that she created in collaboration with Kollectin. Michelle adhered textured golden plates to the base of each nail; each charm covered most of the nail, leaving only a portion of the opaque base showing in the middle. She also added a golden charm with a colored jewel at its center to each ring and index finger. 

These golden nails were as shiny as the big rings on her fingers and chunky bracelets on her wrist, so as mentioned, I am officially calling these Gilded Jelly French nails. But what would you call them?
