Congratulations, Demi Lovato! The singer tied the knot with Jordan “Jutes” Lutes on May 25 in California and looked absolutely stunning from head to toe. But one element of her wedding-day immediately look stood out as a bit of a surprise: the bridal manicure!

Lovato is known for her edgy style—think lots of leather, tattoos, and sleek silhouettes. Instead of a shiny black manicure, a deep and romantic red, or gray chrome, which is what we would have predicted for Lovato's wedding set, the musician chose a classic soft, barely there polish for the big day.

Lovato worked with longtime manicurist Natalie Minerva on two similar-but-not-identical sets for the wedding weekend. “For Demi's nail look, she wanted something that felt timeless and I absolutely agreed,” Minerva tells Allure of the inspiration.

For the first evening, the two landed on a combination of OPI's Nail Lacquer in Passion, a sheer neutral pink, and For the Fill of It, a pro-only warm pink shade. “It's a builder gel that is tinted so it gave a beautiful finish and extra protection,” Minerva explains. On the wedding day, Lovato chose Pearl-Clutching Behavior, which Minerva describes as the “perfect wedding milky nude” that “offers coverage but still has a little consistency.” Minerva shaped the star's nails into medium-length rounded almonds and painted a few delicate coats of color atop the nails for a sweet, whisper-light set that looked so good with Lovato's Vivienne Westwood gown and sparkling diamond ring. Minerva came prepared for the occasion with an entire lineup of nail options in a similar palette, including OPI's beloved Bubble Bath, and also gave the groom a wedding-day manicure.
