Celebrities are giving spring nails their own flair. From diamond French tips to cloud nails, there is no denying that these nails are the highlight of the season.
Celebrities and Their Spring Nails
Spring nail art is all about embracing candy-colored inspiration, with celebrities leading the way. These trends include classic pastels, chrome, pearl finishes, and iridescent shimmer. Expect to see florals, gingham prints, French tips, psychedelic, retro designs, and metallic 3D art.
There are simply way too many to mention, but here are the top spring nails recently seen on celebrities.
Diamond French Tips | Chloë Bailey
Chloë Bailey's diamond French tips are the epitome of opulence, showcasing her signature blinged-out style. Her long, slanted oval nails featured a glossy pink French base with a layer of chrome underneath the silver gemstones for added shine. Each nail boasted a unique pattern of silver crystals, ranging from chunkier pieces to smaller, intricate shapes.
To achieve a similar look at home, start with a basic French manicure using a silver polish for the tips instead of white. Apply chrome powder for a base layer of shine, then add gemstones as desired for a sparkling finish.
Neon Glow-in-the-Dark | Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber, known for her influential nail styles, debuted the eye-catching neon glow-in-the-dark nails at Coachella. Her nails, initially appearing as a vibrant neon green, revealed their glowing secret in the dark. Replicating the look at home is as simple as using glow-in-the-dark neon nail polish on your nails. Use two to three coats to make an opaque finish with a strong glow. Bieber's festival style, including oversized jackets and glowy makeup, perfectly complemented her standout nails, making them a must-try for anyone looking to add some fun to their look.
"No Doubt" Tips | Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani's Coachella nails were a nostalgic nod to her iconic band, No Doubt. Her long square nails featured a unique twist on the classic French manicure, with yellow tartan tips spelling out "No Doubt" in a gothic font. Each nail also had 3D hearts and silver gemstones, adding a touch of glam to the punk-inspired look. To recreate this style, use Gel-X Sculpted Square tips in extra-long, along with gel colors for the tartan pattern. Stefani's overall festival look, complete with '90s plaid and bold makeup, perfectly captured her signature style and made for a memorable Coachella moment.
Night-Out Nails | Rihanna
Rihanna's night-out nails added the perfect pop of color to her already bold look. Her lavender manicure featured a deep purple French tip, creating a chic two-toned effect. While the manicure added a playful touch to her outfit, it remained subtle and elegant. This two-toned trend aligns with the spring 2024 nail art direction, focusing on tonal variations within the same color family.
To recreate Rihanna's look, start with a lavender base and add a deep purple tip, ensuring the colors complement each other seamlessly. Finish with a glossy top coat for a polished finish that's perfect for a night out.
Cloud Nails | Angelina Jolie
Cloud nails are set to be a major trend this spring, and Angelina Jolie's minimalist yet elegant look at the opening night of "The Outsiders" in New York City showcased this perfectly. Her nails featured a barely-there nude shade with white undertones, creating a cloud-like effect.
To recreate this look, start by shaping your nails and applying a clear base coat. Then, apply a sheer tan polish like PLA's Cloud and Clear polish. Finish with a glossy top coat for a shiny, sophisticated finish that's perfect for any occasion.
