When it comes to a new album rollout cycle, no one does it quite like Taylor Swift. The musician just dropped her latest studio album, Midnights, and of course she got a manicure to match. Swift prepped for the album’s midnight release with themed nail art and shared the look on her Instagram Stories a few days before the drop so fans could replicate it at home if they just couldn’t wait for the album.
In the photos, Swift’s nails are painted a deep, dark midnight navy or black and covered in holographic glitter and stars. The musician’s nails are kept short, likely for playing guitar, and it appears that Swift DIYed the whole manicure instead of calling up a nail artist or heading to the salon; maybe she needed a project to calm her mind while waiting for the album release or another way to tease fans outside of her “Midnights Mayhem” TikTok series. “Meet me at midnight,” she captioned her manicure shots.

The starry manicure perfectly follows up the glittering, glamorous look Swift hit the red carpet for the MTV VMAs, where she wore a dress literally covered in (faux) diamonds and added sparkles to her lids for even more “Mirrorball”-esque impact. The album itself also has a song called “Bejeweled,” and her teaser trailer for the music videos does hint at more sparkle to come, so the glitter makes total sense for this new Swift era.
If you’re already on your umpteenth stream of Midnights and want to show your love for the album to the world, creating your own midnight mani is easy. We can’t tell what brand Swift used for her starry topper, but Nails Inc Showstopping Spitalfields Star Topper Nail Polish gives the same silvery sparkle. A deep blue like Essie’s Infinity Cool should set the tone for late nights and early mornings, as would Chanel’s Boy De Chanel Nail Colour. And voilà! You’re ready for the clock to hit Midnights.
