Whenever I’m at a loss for what to do with my manicure, I can always count on the hands of Hollywood for some nail trend inspiration. Celebrities are the ones with world-famous manicurists at their fingertips, after all. Plus, they have ample opportunities to show off fresh paint jobs on the red carpet. This week alone, I got new ideas as Selena Gomez started a stardust nail trend with a dreamy iridescent polish by Tom Bachik, and Hailey Bieber embraced a delicious wine red mani in place of her usual almond tips. So in an effort to cure my serious nail envy, I scanned hundreds of manicures to find the nail polish colors celebrities reach for most often, so I, too, can have tips worthy of a step-and-repeat (or, just Instagram).
On my search, I learned celebrities can make a moment out of any nail color. See Jennifer Lopez’s electric blue neon manicure from over the summer, or Selena Gomez’s orange Julius jelly tips. Of course, classic fall nail colors and more subdued shades show up on celebrities' nails just as often. Just take a look at the legions of famous fans behind the moody red and bubble bath manicure trends.
