As the temperature rises, so does our obsession with the latest nail trends sported by our favourite celebrities. Whether it’s Hailey Bieber’s butter yellow nails or Dua Lipa‘s chromatic manicure, there’s no shortage of inspiration for your next nail appointment. We’ve curated a list of our top celebrity-inspired nail colours to try just in time for summer.
Soap nails
The soap nails trend is the perfect way to elevate a classic minimalist manicure. Achieve the look with a glossy, sheer nail polish for a simple, milky look. The soap nails can be done with many colours such as white, beige or light pink, as seen on Selena Gomez. This is the perfect look if you are going for the “clean girl aesthetic”. Some are even referring to this trend as “lipgloss nails”.

Baby blue nails
With over 103 million posts, the “Blueberry Milk Nail” trend took TikTok by storm last summer and it shows no signs of fading away. This powdery, sheer blue shade, often applied over a beige or white base, flatters every skin tone.
Celebrities like Sofia Richie and Sabrina Carpenter have been spotted sporting this pastel colour. “The powdery blue manicure has definitely taken over!” said professional nail artist Julia Diogo, one of the experts championing the trend. Blueberry milk nails aren’t too flashy; from afar, they resemble white. But up close, they have a subtle yet stylish flare to them. We think this trend is here to stay, making it a perfect choice for a trendy summer manicure.

Adding sparkle to any outfit is easy when your nails look like this!

Coloured French tips
This new trend is a vibrant twist on the classic French tip manicure. If the multi-coloured nails or chrome looks are a little too daring for you, the coloured French tip offers a more subtle yet trendy alternative. The best part about it: you can choose from a variety of shades whether soft pastels to bold neons. Hailey Bieber is known to rock this look with vibrant, neon colours.
