Dua Lipa is nothing if not a trendsetter. She's a master at photo dumps and inspiring an entire generation to embrace alien green chrome nails, piece-y bangs, and drastic hair changes. Here at Allure, we especially enjoy zooming in on her Instagram photos to check out her newest manicures. 

All this time, it's been puzzling trying to decipher if she's wearing gel polish, tip extensions, or dip powder in her photos. But whatever she's doing, it's clearly working, because she just posted a photo of her long and extremely healthy bare nails. Does Dua need to give us some new rules for how to treat our nails?

On April 7, Dua finally gave us a glimpse of her natural nails. The shot of four long fingernails shows just how strong they are, despite her constant manicures. Her nails are oval-shaped, and she seems to be just as surprised as we are that they've gotten this long, judging from her caption.

"My natural nails really on a mad one!!!" she wrote. "I don't even know how they got this long without breaking???" It's comforting to know that even a star as big as Dua dreads breaking a nail as much as we do.

We're going to need a full step-by-step tutorial for how she keeps her nails so healthy, especially between the numerous awards shows she attends (hello, Grammys) and music video shoots for her latest singles (have you seen the "Sweetest Pie" video, yet?). Give us your secrets, Dua.
