Simone Biles has been living her best life recently, and she doesn't show signs of stopping anytime soon. Between getting engaged to Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens and lounging in the sun on a glorious spring break trip to the Turks and Caicos, we truly do love to see her winning. And as such, she is, of course, rocking some excellent beauty looks while doing it.

Between her Y2K pigtails, her beachside braids, and the hair and makeup she did (on her own) for last year's Olympics, we almost can't handle how talented the athlete is. But what we really want to discuss now is her nails, because the manicure she got engaged in on February 15 — chic, oval-shaped, white — couldn't be more different from her most recent one. 

Biles posted a photo of her new nails to her Instagram story on April 19. Sitting in her car, the athlete's new nails are giving '70s floral glam, and we are here for it. Her thumb, pointer finger, and pinky are painted a bright orange, while her middle finger and ring finger were painted ever so delicately with the cutest flowers.

Under a nude base coat, little flowers of yellow, orange, and red grace the top of her nails, so we can confirm that this design will be the inspiration for our next manicures as well. We're thinking that she either has acrylic extensions or gel extensions, and each nail is filed to oval-shaped perfection.

Simone Biles really went from an Olympic gold medalist to a style icon, and we couldn't be happier for her. Although her proposal was pretty recent, we're already dreaming of the nails she'll wear walking down the aisle. But, for the meantime, we will be stalking her Instagram for more stunning vacation photos that she's bound to post this summer, and the new manicures that come with them.
