Golden goddess
According to the 2025 Pinterest Predicts report, ‘golden goddess’ nails are a hot trend for this year – and singer, LISA, got the memo. She rocked a gold ombré alternative French mani by Juan Alvear for a front cover shoot for The Hollywood Reporter, which featured the cast of The White Lotus.
