As for summer 2025? Well, it seems it’s all about ‘lemon drop martini’ nails, if the recent carousel Hailey posted to Instagram is anything to go by.
Looking chic in an all-black beach ensemble, including cowboy hat and black bikini, she shared close-up shots of her nails while misting her face with what could be a new Rhode product drop and contouring her lips with the Rhode Peptide Lip Shape. The caption read: “lemon drop martinis all summer long 👍🍋🍸.”
This wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill butter yellow mani – this is Hailey Bieber after all, one of the forerunners of some of the biggest nail trends, who even managed to switch us onto moody ‘nightshade nails’ when pastels were having a moment this spring.
So, rather than just lean into butter yellow – a pastel shade that sits somewhere between canary and beige – Hailey opted for a slightly zestier shade of lemon and a smattering of teeny black polka dots over the top. It’s punchy, it’s playful and it leans into summer’s love-affair with acid-bright hues that pop against tanned skin.
Fancy recreating Hailey’s manicure at home? Opt for a nail polish such as Nailberry Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in Simply The Zest or Hermès Les Mains Hermès Nail Polish in Jaune Polnlen. Then take the tip of a toothpick, dip into into a black nail polish and dab in onto the nail to create a series of dots. Et voilà – lemon drop martini nails!
