Back in 2022, we thought Rihanna was officially done with long nails after spotting her with a few short sets, including the surprisingly very minimalist French tips she had for her Super Bowl announcement. Our predictions were clearly premature: She's had plenty of longer sets this season, including her recent take on the trendy milky manicure.
We have seen milk bath manicures on everyone from Lizzo to Jennifer Lopez to Kendall Jenner in recent years. And now Rihanna is the latest celebrity we can add to that list: She shared her new nails in a photo campaign for Fenty Skin's newest launch, the Cherry Dub Superfine Daily Cleansing Face Scrub, on June 6.
In the first photo, the star's face is full of the peach-hued face scrub with a few of her nails in the frame. Then the next few photos show a clear shot of the square-shaped tips as she cleanses her face.
The long nails had a light white hue that was not opaque chalk white, or quite sheer enough to look like her natural nails. It's that in-between colour that looks like watered-down milk — hence, the name “milky” or “milk bath” manicure.

During the process of growing out her nails (or just requesting longer acrylic sets) Rihanna has been a wealth of manicure inspiration. On May 18, she shared a few flicks from her maternity shoot from 2022 when she was pregnant with her son RZA.
Her hands embrace her nude breasts, and you can see the bright red (or maybe it is orange?) hue of her almond tips. At the Met Gala, she had a French ombré manicure with a few 3D embellishments; a few days before the annual fashion event, she was rocking a pretty lavender polish.
