Sorbet Nails Are Literally The Coolest Manicure Trend For 2025

I won't pretend sorbet nails are a brand-new trend. Let's be real — they look a lot like the pastel manicures that pop up every year at this time. But while they're not exactly groundbreaking, there's no denying that the biggest nail artists are obsessed with them right now. From Iram Shelton's shimmering strawberry manicure to Harriet Westmoreland's mint sorbet French tips, sorbet nails provide a cool pop of colour among the wave of neutral princess nails and milky manicures.
For the sceptics amongst us, there is a subtle difference between this year's sorbet nails and more traditional pastels: 'Though they're in the same family of soft tones, sorbet shades are slightly more vibrant versions of pastel colours,' explains session manicurist Ami Streets. 'Inspired by their namesake edible summer treat, they're even brighter and juicier, often with a sheer or jelly-like finish that gives a gorgeously glossy and playful vibe.' Think of fruity hues inspired by your favourite ice cream flavours, such as banana, peach, strawberry, or pistachio, if you're unsure where to start.

How do you wear sorbet nails?
Streets points out that sorbet shades lend themselves beautifully to nail art looks. 'Soft ombré gradients in sorbet colours are a dreamy nail look... effortlessly blending shades like pinks and peaches, for example, creates a sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,' says Streets. Additionally, for minimalists, French tips, half-moon manis, and simple, dainty dot designs are a great way to wear sorbet hues more subtly.

'Weekend plans: pick, snack, repeat 🍑,' As ever captioned the photo of Meghan in her seasonal outfit, which included a sun hat that featured an 'M' monogram.

In her other photo from the summer day, Meghan is walking on a beach in the seasonal attire — soundtracked by Will Smith (a.k.a. the Fresh Prince) and DJ Jazzy Jeff's 1991 hit "Summertime." "That weekend feeling ☀️🎶," Meghan captioned the photo. The Duchess of Sussex has been active on social media this year so far, posting snaps and clips of family trips to Disneyland, a Father's Day celebration for Prince Harry and birthday memories of their children. Meghan and Harry, 40, share son Prince Archie, 6, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 4. Earlier this month, Meghan posted a heartfelt montage in tribute to Harry for Father's Day, which included clips of both children and one scene of Archie learning how to ride a bicycle. The clip was soundtracked by an acoustic version of "Have It All" by Jason Mraz. "The best," she captioned the footage. "Happy Father's Day to our favorite guy 💕." Meghan — who settled in her home state of California with Harry and their kids after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020 — told PEOPLE in March that life has both changed and stayed the same in recent years. 'When your children get to a certain age — when you're not just playing in the sandbox with them but almost playing in your own sandbox again — it's super joyful,' Meghan said of her children growing up. 'As a woman, a mom and a wife, to be able to find yourself again — in a way that was always present but that you maybe couldn't put as much attention on as you now can when your kids are a little bit older — is a wonderful feeling.' she added.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic blasts Lionel Messi's Inter Miami teammates after Club World Cup exit: ‘Statues'
Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't hold back after Inter Miami's Round of 16 blowout loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup over the weekend, likening players on the Miami squad to 'statues' and pushing back on any criticism of Lionel Messi. Inter Miami's presence in the knockout stage was already a bit of a surprise – the result of a surprising win over Porto in the group stage – which made the 4-0 loss to the reigning Champions League winners not much of a shock. Ibrahimovic, a Swedish international who played for some of the top clubs in the world, including time at AC Milan, PSG and Manchester United, took issue with any sort of blame being placed on Messi for the ugly loss in the 32-team tournament. Advertisement Zlatan Ibrahimovic blasted Inter Miami after the team's Club World Cup exit. AC Milan via Getty Images He currently holds a senior advisor position with AC Milan. 'Messi's defeat? No, don't talk about the defeat as if it was his fault! Messi didn't lose, Inter Miami did! Have you seen this team?' he told French soccer publication Footmercato. Advertisement No matter where you are in the world, you can watch the FIFA Club World Cup for free on DAZN. All you need to get started is an email address. No subscription is required, but you will have to make a free account on the streamer to start watching. DAZN also has premium, paid options available to enhance your viewing experience with HDR picture, Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, and fewer ads. DAZN Premium plans begin at $19.99/month. 'Messi plays among statues, not teammates! If he was in a real team, in Paris, in Manchester [City], in any big team, you would have seen the real lion. 'Messi only plays because he loves the game, because he can still do what 99 percent of players can't! But he's surrounded by those who run as if they were carrying bags of cement! There are no coaches, no stars, not even players who understand how to move without the ball!' Lionel Messi looks on during the Inter Miami-PSG match on June 30, 2025. FIFA via Getty Images Advertisement Inter Miami possesses one of the more star-studded rosters in Major League Soccer with Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez. 'You want to blame Messi? If he plays with [Cristiano] Ronaldo, with [Kylian] Mbappe, with [Erling] Haaland, with Zlatan. Then you can talk! But today? No, no, no,' Ibrahimovic continued. 'That's not the Messi I know, he's a big ghost who plays in a circus! But be careful, if you give him a real team, he'll burn the stadium down again! Because quite simply. Messi is still Messi, but today? It's not his defeat, it's the defeat of Inter Miami and football.' Advertisement PSG dominated Inter Miami – the only MLS club of the three that made it to the Club World Cup that advanced – and Messi's impact on the match was limited. Inter Miami took home $21.05 million in prize money as a result of their run in the Club World Cup.

Khloé Kardashian names every cosmetic procedure she's done: 'I know some great doctors'
When it comes to sharing her beauty regimen, Khloé Kardashian is taking a page from sister Kylie Jenner's digital book. The reality TV star and media mogul, 41, opened up about her history of cosmetic procedures in the comments section of a June 28 Instagram post. Following her recent appearance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Italy wedding, Kardashian received a shout-out from Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a London-based aesthetician, who praised her as the "standout face" from the celebrity nuptials. Betteridge, who said Kardashian's physical appearance has "changed a lot over the past few years" speculated that "The Kardashians" star's "transformation" likely included cosmetic procedures such as a "temporal brow lift," a rhinoplasty (nose job), lip filler, and a face and neck lift. "She looks dramatically different from a few years ago," Betteridge concluded. "And whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself." The following day, Kardashian responded to Betteridge's assessment by confirming the cosmetic work she's had done in a detailed list, including the doctors and service providers who oversaw her procedures. "I take this as a great compliment!" she wrote. "In 2025 there are many other things we can do before surgery," Kardashian added. "But when it's time, and if I choose to, I know some great doctors 😉💞" What cosmetic work has Khloé Kardashian done? See the full list Khloé Kardashian's beauty candor follows Kylie Jenner's breast implant confession Earlier this month, Kardashian's younger sister got candid about her own cosmetic history. The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, revealed her exact breast implant order after a fan, social media influencer Rachel Leary, complimented Jenner's bust in a TikTok video published June 2. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in the comments section. Kardashian previously opened up about her relationship with body image, including her explorations of plastic surgery, in the June 2021 reunion for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Kardashian revealed at the time that she'd had a nose job, as well as unspecified "injections." "When the show first started, I was very secure, very secure," Kardashian said. "Then, during the first couple seasons I became insecure because of the public opinions of myself. Then, I had a good run of being secure. Then, recently I've become now insecure again. So, I guess it just goes up and down." Contributing: Erin Jensen, USA TODAY
