Sometimes, the most sumptuous looks are also the simplest. Jennifer Lopez gets it. Those in need of nail inspiration to round out their holiday beauty approach should look to her latest neutral manicure, which found strength (and style) through subtlety. 

“We wanted rich girl nails for the Thanksgiving holiday,” nail artist Tom Bachik tells Vogue. “Nothing says that more than a beautiful creamy, full coverage greige—it’s very Chanel.” 

Needless to say, the pro instantly elevated the taupe midi-coffin manicure into something aspirational. (J.Lo’s jewelry may have lent to the narrative, too.)

The color offered a gray-tinged café au lait alternative to Jennifer Lopez’s mocha nails and made for ideal inspiration for this week’s polish palette. From serving up seconds to gesticulating during discussions with loved ones, your nails will undoubtedly be displayed this time of year. So why not choose a hue that communicates quiet luxury for your Thanksgiving nails or Christmas nails
