Celebrate Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl era with beauty picks inspired by her sparkling orange aesthetic
Taylor Swift sent the internet spiralling, again. At exactly 12:12am ET, she announced her highly anticipated twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, sprinkling the reveal with enough Easter eggs to keep even the most seasoned Swiftie in detective mode until album release day. While the official date is still under wraps, the mood is clear — we've entered the orange glitter era. It's giving main character energy with a side of sequins, and whether you're deep in the fandom or just Swiftie-adjacent, you can channel it right now. To celebrate this new era, I've gone on a treasure hunt worthy of a Swift bridge key change to find the beauty products that capture this tangerine-tinted sparkle. Think of it as a pre-game before the inevitable album drop. Orange you glad you can wear it now? The star of the show is the OPI Infinite Shine Gel-Like Lacquer in Dreamsicle for $26, a limited edition shade that instantly screamed 'album landing page' when I saw it. It's a juicy, sheer orange that shimmers with a candied finish — sweet enough to tempt you into biting your nails (don't, obviously). It's buildable, giving you the choice between a subtle sheer or a bolder, more showgirl-worthy coat. And because we're talking OPI, the Pro-Wide brush means smooth, streak-free application every time. Chip, stain and scratch resistance? Consider it your Fortnight of flawless nails. If you're ready to take things up a notch, the OPI'm Dreaming collection is like a pastel daydream with press-ons that lock into place for up to 11 days without a single light-cure lamp in sight. It's the kind of polish that says 'I'm ready for the stage' but also 'I've got a full day of life admin to do', a very Taylor balance between spectacle and groundedness. Other ways to sparkle in the orange era If orange nails feel too bold for your 9-to-5, you can still play along with the album aesthetic through more subtle touches: tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Shimmer Glass, $46 DIOR Mono Couleur Couture High-Colour Eyeshadow, $58 Sephora Collection About That Shine Sheer Shine Lipstick, $26 Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Bio-Radiant™ Gel-Powder Highlighter, $69 Sephora Collection Glitter Power Multi-Use Shadows Wand Trio was $29, now $14 Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix Shimmer Lipstick, $39 Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment (Limited Edition Peach Glaze), $29 Rare Beauty Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss, $36 Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush, $68 Haus Labs by Lady Gaga PhD Hybrid Lip (Secondary), $43 Whether you're decoding lyrics, prepping for the inevitable stadium tour or just enjoying the spectacle, these little touches will have you looking album-ready long before release day. In the meantime, keep your notifications on — history tells us that if Taylor's started with orange glitter, we're in for a ride.

The 4 Fruit Nail Trends To Try This Summer
Every year, summer rolls around and, like clockwork, social-media feeds become flooded with a frenzy of fruit-inspired beauty trends – from tomato fragrances to strawberry-glazed lips and berry blush, this season is always ripe with fresh and zingy beauty inspiration. It should come as no surprise then that, right now, fruit nail art is one of the biggest summer nail trends that we're all going bananas over. Fruit nails have been a summertime staple for a couple of years now (need we remind you of the delectable farmer's-market nails that Hailey Bieber showcased last June?), but don't be fooled: fruit nails come in many forms, with diverse and mouth-wateringly creative designs constantly cropping up. So, whether you're a loyal princess-nails devotee who's looking to inject some low-key summery playfulness into an otherwise simple manicure, or you're on the hunt for something a little more daring, keep scrolling for a taste of some of our favourite fruit-inspired manicures. Sometimes, less is more. If you tend to gravitate towards minimalist nails – and the sheer thought of veering away from OPI's bubble bath or a classic French tip sends shivers down your spine – then ultra-subtle mini-fruit designs may be what you're after. Adorable and intricate, mini-fruit nails are sweet yet subtle – an understated way to get on board with the trend without sacrificing your preferred clean, neutral base – so you're not venturing too far out of your comfort zone. Nail artists can delicately paint the cartoon-like shapes from scratch, or else use little fruit stickers for ease. Commit to a theme (limoncello-cocktail nails featuring tiny little lemons and butter-yellow French tips are all the rage right now) or go all-out with different types of fruit dotted all over to achieve a chic fruit-salad-inspired look. If you're after a manicure that looks good enough to eat, then look no further – 3D fruit nails are a deliciously maximalist option. The look is achieved by intricately sculpting and layering coats of gel polish to emulate the juicy textural quality of actual fruit. The gel can even be used to imitate little 3D water droplets – for that added splash of mouth-watering detail. Whether you opt for juicy lemon wedges, sweet bunches of berries or even little bananas complete with a 3D banana peel, the result is a manicure brimming with drama and dimension. Behold summer's most thirst-quenching manicure: fruit-water nails are a simple, hyper-glossy and wearable look that we're drooling over right now. Perhaps not quite so literal or self-explanatory as other fruit-inspired manicures, fruit-water nails are inspired by the colour and fluid consistency of different fruits rather than their shape and form – this look captures the freshly squeezed quality of fruit juice and bottles it up in a sheer, liquid-like manicure tinged with citrusy sunrise shades. This sleek and refreshing variation on fruit nails shares similarities with Korean jelly nails – another of our favourite manicure trends for summer. Giving nail 'art' a whole new meaning, fruit-skin nails beautifully and precisely imitate the multicoloured, soft-blur appearance of real fruit skin. This painterly look – like many of the most innovative beauty trends – was popularised in Korea, and it's easy to see why it's taking our social-media feeds by storm. Whether emulating the outer layer of fuzzy peaches, crisp apples or juicy grapes, fruit-skin nails always have a watercolour-like finish. Each nail becomes a canvas for a delicate fusion of soft, blended colours that look deceptively realistic. If you choose to go for fruit-skin nails at your next nail appointment, don't be surprised when you constantly catch yourself staring at the mini masterpieces on your fingertips.
