Love Island may have come to an end, for this year at least, but that hasn't stopped us from stalking the series 12 alumni for career updates, style inspo and the latest goss in their still-chaotic dating lives.

By the way, when we say 'stalking' we mean in an admirable 'you're so cool way' not in a restraining order type of way.

One question that we have been wondering ever since she sauntered into the Spanish villa all red dress and mermaid waves was how on earth did Toni Laites always have the most glam nails? In fact, how did any of the girls maintain such magnificent manicures trapped inside the Love Island villa?

Turns out Lauren Wood has the answers. Well, kind of.

Taking to social media a fan asked Lauren, 'Does the villa have a nail bar or do you go out and get them changed? Do you pay or?'

The bombshell posted a pic of her short but sweet lemon French tip and offered up a response. 'We got our nails done on down days so the nail tech/hairdressers came in to do them for us,' she explained.

But we can safely say that we knew there was no way Toni's iconic nails were done by a tech that came in once or twice.

Firstly, her nails changed nearly every episode and we know how long it can take to create artwork as fabulous as Toni's manicure.

Fans over on TikTok, Reddit and Instagram were constantly obsessing over the American export's nails and the secret to her trademark accessory has been revealed.

It turns out our girl was prepared, as Toni headed into the villa with a collection of fabulously created press-ons and the brains behind the creations has given all the deets.

Las Vegas based nail genius Ari, whose handle is @ari.babylv, has posted a video on both TikTok and Instagram giving us pics, inspo and all the info on Toni's jaw-dropping designs.

'HUGE THANK YOU TO @Toni for letting me part of her @Love Island nail looks🏝️💛. I am eternally grateful to have crossed paths with you my beautiful girl. MY WORK IS ON NATIONAL TV AHHHH!!' she wrote.

Obviously the Love Island winner has shown her appreciation for the manicure goddess. 'I love you to the moon & back,' Toni wrote and countless other people have shared their love for her work.

MAFS UK bride Nikita Jasmine declared, 'Loooooved these 😍 !! I noticed she was changing her nails frequently & I was thinking, who’s done them 🤣 so good! 👏🏽🤍' with a follower adding, 'That’s so slay 🤌🏽🤌🏽✨.'

She enjoys stalking Love Island girlies Indiyah Polack and Matilda Draper for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys rewatching the clip of Maura Higgins confronting Tom Walker for gossiping about her to the Love Island lads.
