7 Fun Celebrity Manicures To Inspire Your Summer Set
Claws out!
From intricate lace designs to World Cup-inspired motifs, we’ve rounded up seven celebrity manicures worth emulating this summer.
PSA: We are officially in June! The summer is ramping up, and that means we’ll soon be seeing the girls embrace sun-kissed skin, flushed cheeks, and sorbet shades on holiday. Of course, Dua Lipa has already beaten us all to the punch on that front, but that just means we have plenty of inspo for our upcoming travels.
Step one of cultivating the ultimate holiday beauty look is nailing the perfect manicure. Frankly, we’re all going to end up sticking to a basic beat and a slick-back as we try to beat the heat, so the only indicator that a baddie is near will be a killer set of nails.
That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favourite celebrity manicures of late. From simple statement nails to subtle adornments, there’s something here for every girl to draw inspiration from—find the full roundup below:
Iris Law’s lace nails

One of our favourite nail art designs to date is Iris Law’s latest manicure. At first glance, it looks like a classic nude nail, but upon closer inspection, you’re met with a breathtaking, intricate lace weave. Should you prefer a more natural-looking manicure in general that isn’t too basic, this is a lovely summer-ready design to explore, reminiscent of Mediterranean summers and late sunset dinners.
