Celebrity manicure looks have absolutely dominated the 2024 nail trend landscape. From Selena Gomez’s buttermilk mani to Zenday’s poppy red polish, trending manicure designs have been coming in thick and fast—and I haven’t even got started on Hailey Bieber. From her farmers’ market fruit nails to the now iconic cherry blossom design, Hailey has, single handedly, provided the very best inspiration for the chicest and most fun nail art designs all year long.
But that’s not to say Hailey has been the only one providing the nail inspo. If you’re seeking ideas for your next nail appointment, I’ve got you covered. Below, I’ve rounded up the 14 best celebrity nail trends of 2024 . And, if you fancy giving them a go yourself (much like Blake Lively who recently did her own nail art for the It End’s With Us premiere) I’ve also included the best nail polishes to recreate the looks at home, including some of the shades the celebrity manicurists actually used. Keep scrolling and get saving…
1. Blake Lively’s butterfly and blooms manicure
Designed to match Blake’s sequin Versace dress, these pretty pastel nails feature a nude shimmery base coat topped with flowers and butterflies, which Blake actually created herself.
2. Jennifer Lopez’s American manicure
Lovers of a classic French manicure need to try this twist on the design, created for Jennifer Lopez by manicurist Tom Bachik. Rather than a bright white tip, it features a milky hue paired with a nude rather than pink base for a softer look.

4. Kylie Jenner’s mismatched bouquet mani
Floral nails are a huge trend right now, so much so that this is the third set I’ve included on this list. Unlike the other more subtle designs, however, Kylie’s mismatched bouquet packs a punch in terms of both colour and design—the perfect holiday manicure for winter sun breaks.

6. Selena Gomez’s buttermilk mani
SS24 was most definitely the season of the buttermilk mani but it’s a trend I don’t see disappearing anytime soon. So loved is it that three women (myself included) asked for it at my last nail appointment in the space of an hour.

As autumn/winter sets in, many of us will be switching from summer brights to darker manicure shades. If so, use this midnight blue mani, which Simone Ashley wore at the Met Gala, as inspiration. Not only does it make a chic alternative to classic black but it feels much more wearable thanks to the delicate blue undertones.
