We’re Calling It—Taylor Swift’s ‘Opalite’ Nails Are About to Be Everywhere

This morning, Taylor Swift released the music video for “Opalite,” the next single off her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Instead of releasing it across platforms, the visuals came out on Apple Music and Spotify Premium. While many eagle-eyed fans likely scoured the video for Easter eggs, we couldn’t help but notice a different detail—Swift’s nails.

When it comes to Swift, it’s safe to say that almost nothing is an accident, and her nail color choice is no exception. “Opalite” isn’t just the name of her new single, it’s also a man-made gem that’s meant to resemble a real opal. The stone typically has a translucent, blue-green hue, but it may look orange or yellow in certain light, just like Swift’s nails in the new video.

Opals clearly mean something to Swift—they happen to be her fiancé Travis Kelce’s birthstone (“Opalite” is widely believed to be inspired by the football player). And in the crystal healing space, many believe that opalite specifically promotes calm and tranquility. For good vibes alone, it makes sense that Swift would want to have opalite at her fingertips for this music video.

To try Swift’s gemstone-inspired manicure for yourself, opt for a blue-green holographic nail polish color, like Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish in All That Shimmers, Dazzle Dry in In Season, or Essie Special Effects Nail Color in Mystic Marine. Alternatively, you can pop on an iridescent top coat like the Londontown Shimmering Nail Highlighter Polish in Stardust to turn any color into something opal-like. To mimic Swift’s look, opt for rounded, oval-shaped nails.

The “Opalite” music video will be released to everyone on YouTube this Sunday, February 8, at 8 A.M. ET, ahead of the Super Bowl. In the meantime, we’ll be attempting to recreate her sparkling manicure. Below, find the best opalescent nail colors to channel Swift.
