We’re not sure when it happened, but whenever we’re struggling for ideas right before our nail salon appointment, we look to Hailey Bieber. She’s unwittingly become the queen of nail trends after inspiring the doughnut glaze trend that went viral and defined 2022. Seriously, I think nail manicurists were sick of us asking for them. I’m here to report that Miss Biebs has come through once again and informed us of the biggest nail trend for summer 2024: glow-in-the-dark nails. Yep, you read that right.
I know, it might seem like we’ve time-travelled right back to 2010 for this one but in Hailey we trust. Upon first glance (read: in the daylight) this mani looks like a jewel-toned green, which we’d appreciate anyway, but it’s when the lights go down that these nails really come into play. Fluorescent, radioactive, neon – whatever you want to call it, this mani is both unique and fun. Keep scrolling to see them in all their glow-in-the-dark glory.
Can we also talk about that Rhode phone case? It’s the perfect companion for any mani mirror selfie.
Celebrity nail artist, Zola Ganzoright, is the mastermind behind the manicure (and many of our favourite Hailey nail looks). From her dainty coquette-style mini bow nails to her ‘mirror glaze’ mani (the glazed doughnut 2.0), Zola’s designs go straight into our nail inspo folder.
While slime-green nails might not be appropriate all year round, Hailey debuted them at Coachella, so we’re sure these will be the ‘It’ nail trend of the festival season for summer 2024.
Want to try them out for yourself? Here’s a great DIY option to get you glowing.
