Lemon manicure is the top trend for summer according to Hailey Bieber and Charlize Theron
Bright, cheerful and with a slight touch of retro - lemon-yellow manicures are taking over this summer's fashion collections.
Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Charlize Theron have already joined the trend, turning nail art into a real sunny manifesto of the season.
Hailey Bieber, who usually prefers chrome and dark blue shades, this time chose rich canary-coloured nails with small white polka dots. The design was created by her regular manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, but it's not the first time the model has turned to yellow: in spring 2023, she shone with lemon chrome.
"It's like sunshine in a bottle!" - says renowned nail expert Michelle Humphrey.
She recommends Essie Rev It Up and Atelier At The Bay shades as great options for those who want to add some brightness to the look. She says polka dot manicures are one of the top trends for summer, with the simple geometrics looking festive and perfect for festival season.
Charlize Theron, on the other hand, appeared on the Today show in New York with an elegant lemon accent on her nails. Her master Mo Chin chose a natural base coat and added a crescent of rich yellow at the base of the nail - minimalist, unexpected and very stylish.
This manicure is perfect for those who usually opt for a neutral or dark colour scheme, but want to try something bolder.
"If you're not ready for completely yellow nails, add small accents and you're already on trend," advises nail expert Julia Diogo.
Thus, the lemon manicure has become not only a reflection of the summer mood, but also a universal way to add colour to even the most restrained image. From thick coverage to subtle details, this trend can be adapted to suit any style.
Your next manicure? It's obvious. Go for lemon.
