7 Fun Celebrity Manicures To Inspire Your Summer Set

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.

 

Dua Lipa’s dotty flower manicure

Simple, understated, yet oh-so-cute, this dotted flower manicure is the perfect way to inject a pop of colour into your summer set. Keep it simple like Dua Lipa and pair a vibrant accent hue over a nude base, or double down on the vibrancy with a contrasting colour scheme!

 

Addison Rae’s hot pink statement nails

Making a statement doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go super ornate and intricate. Sometimes, the most eye-catching option is a bold, vibrant splash of colour, as Addison Rae has proven. This hot pink manicure is fun and summery at the same time, great for dressing up your beach ‘fits!

 

Lauren Tsai’s black and white star nails

The Rooster actress leans into her signature black and white colour palette with her latest manicure, dressing up the two-toned set with a couple of airbrushed stars. It’s perfect as is for the colour-averse, but you could also switch up the shades to zhush up the fun factor!

 

Jennie’s clear French tips with metallic details

The Blackpink star sported a fresh set for the 2026 Governors Ball Music Festival, proving once and for all that the chrome trend isn’t going anywhere this year. The clear French tip and chrome accents bring some much-needed drama to an otherwise simple nude set—all in all, we’re taking notes! 

 

Lisa’s World Cup nails

For the ladies after a more timely manicure, Lisa’s got all the inspiration you could ever need. The K-pop idol sported this blue and grey football-inspired manicure in her ‘Goals’ Music Video ahead of the FIFA World Cup, and it’s a fabulous blend of sporty and glam. Sport the colours of your favourite team or keep it faithful to the original—either way, you’re ready for kickoff!
