Hailey Bieber's Lemonade Nails Are Defining Summer 2025
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. While the weather may be unpredictable, summer nails are decidedly sunny—and stars like Hailey Bieber and Charlize Theron are trying them out. Both celebrities have been spotted wearing lemonade yellow nails, one of the season's biggest color trends. Departing from her signature chrome and navy tips, Bieber opted for bright, cheerful canary nails complete with tiny polka dots created by her longtime nail artist, Zola Ganzorigt. This isn't Bieber's first foray into yellow—in spring 2023, she embraced the color trend with a high-shine, chrome finish. The intricate spots create a joyful detail that feels fresh yet sophisticated for summer. It's a hue that celebrity manicurist Michelle Humphrey champions. 'It's giving sunshine in a bottle!' she previously told ELLE, recommending Essie Rev It Up and Atelier At The Bay as her top picks. Polka dots are also emerging as one of summer's biggest nail trends, with the simple nail design proving perfect for festival season. Meanwhile, Charlize Theron appeared on The Today Show in New York City sporting an unexpected lemonade manicure in an understated half-moon pattern. Manicurist Mo Qin gave Theron's fingertips an immaculate, clean base and added a pop of yellow in a crescent shape at the nail base. For those who prefer a neutral or dark color palette in their wardrobe, yellow nails offer a great way to experiment with bolder colors without overwhelming the senses. Not ready for a full yellow commitment? Take inspiration from Theron's interpretation. 'If you don't want to commit to the full yellow color, you can just add little accents and still be part of the trend,' says manicurist Julia Diogo. Your next manicure look: sorted.

How Hailey Bieber And Charlize Theron Are Embracing Lemonade Nails This Summer
Our British weather may be unpredictable, but when it comes to summer nails, we're fully embracing sunny manicures and it seems like stars such as Hailey Bieber and Charlize Theron got the memo, too. Both celebs were spotted wearing lemonade yellow nails, one of the biggest nail colour trends this season. Eschewing her usual penchant for chrome and navy tips, Bieber went with bright, cheerful canary nails complete with tiny polka dots created by her longtime nail collaborator, Zola Ganzorigt. This isn't the first time Bieber's embracing yellow. In spring 2023, she took on the colour trend with a high-shine, chrome finish. The intricate spots make for a joyful detail that feels fresh yet grown-up and refined for summer. It's a hue that fellow manicurist Michelle Humphrey is a big fan of. 'It's giving sunshine in a bottle!', she previously told ELLE, name-checking Essie Essie Rev It Up and Atelier At The Bay as firm favourites. Polka dots are also proving to be one of summer's biggest nail trends. The simple nail design is excellent for festival season. Elsewhere, Charlize Theron attended The Today Show in New York City with an unexpected lemonade manicure in an understated half-moon pattern. Manicurist Mo Qin gave Theron's fingertips an immaculate, clean base and added a pop of yellow in a crescent shape just on the base of the nail. For those who favour a neutral or dark colour palette in their wardrobe, yellow nails are a great way to experiment with punchier colours without overwhelming the senses. Not a fan of a bold block of colour? Take a cue from Theron's interpretation. 'If you don't want to commit to the full yellow colour, you can just add little accents and still be part of the trend,' agrees the manicurist Julia Diogo. Your next manicure look, sorted.

7 Of The Coolest Nail Colours To Wear This Summer
Come rain or shine, there's little doubt that finding the best summer nail colours for your manicure can make an impactful difference to your mood. But just when you think it's time to let go of winter's moody wine tones, A-list manicurists are re-assuring us that a deep fig will always look elegant no matter the season... If you are looking for a lighter switch-up, butter yellow nails are here to stay, as is green nails - this time in a calming shade of milky matcha that feels grown-up and elevated. Spring's baby blue manicures still feel fresh, but as manicurist Michelle Humphrey shares below, do consider cool blueberry tones for a summery twist. Ahead, the best nail colours to try this summer... There's a satisfying, delicious smoothness to pastel butter yellow that is catnip for the fashion crowd, and beauty is following suit. 'It's giving sunshine in a bottle!' says manicurist Michelle Humphrey. 'Soft, creamy, and way more flattering than people think, try Essie Rev It Up for a bolder take and Atelier At The Bay which is more muted,' she recommends. Green nails are always on the summer mood board for their fresh, crisp appeal but Humphrey is a fan of the more elegant matcha green, which she describes as 'earthy, calming, and chic.' Instead of oceanic blues, try a cool-toned blue, suggests Humphrey. 'Think periwinkle, indigo, and soft purples. I'm reaching for Essie Orchid Jelly and Dress Call!' she tells ELLE UK. 'Bright pinks and corals are a go-to for me—they're bold, energetic, and just scream summer fun,' says nail artist Tinu Bello, who's done manicures for major stars such as Letitia Wright and Michaela Coel. 'Think vibrant fuchsia or punchy watermelon tones that instantly lift your mood and add a pop of colour to any look.' Bello namechecks Mylee Bubblegum Gel Nail Wraps and Mylee Be Yourself Gel Nail Wraps as her current favourites. According to Humphrey, clients often shy away from a salmony tone like apricot, but it's worth considering if you're looking for a lighter, more understated alternative the aforementioned hot pink or bright yellow. 'It's not the easiest shade to wear, and I hardly ever get requests for it, but apricot nails are truly stunning,' she says. A warm undertone can truly bring out your natural tan or you can ease into the trend with peachy French tips. Don't save your deeper tones just for winter. 'I'd love to see more people embrace moody brights and inky shades during summer, like rich teal or fig,' says Bello. 'There's a misconception that dark or muted colours are just for autumn, but when you choose versions with a luminous or juicy finish, they actually pop beautifully in summer light.' Similarly, you don't have to stash away the sparkle until Christmas time. Metallic silvers are popular on the SS25 runways. They shine brilliantly in the sunshine and are perfect for summer festivals. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
