Zendaya’s Summer Flower Garden Nails Are So Unexpected

For many of our favorite celebrities, summer 2024 has been all about the garden manicure. First, we saw Hailey Bieber in a cherry blossom mani dotted with teeny little rhinestones. Then, Kylie Jenner followed suit with a very out-of-character and very adorable bug-centric mani. Now, Zendaya has joined in on the nail art fun with a summery set dotted with colorful daisies and itsy-bitsy bugs.

Zendaya usually sticks to very simple, neutral milky manicures and French tips, but she’s been having fun mixing it up this summer. For her most recent set, manicurist Marina Dobic created an entire flower field on the Emmy winner’s nails.

Dobic shaped Zendaya’s nails into a medium-length soft, rounded square. The London-based manicurist, who frequently works with Z, noted that she used hard gel on the star to keep her nails “strong and healthy,” starting with a sheer base and painting on the thinnest, most delicate white tip. Atop that, she painted the sweetest little sunflowers and posies in shades of blue, purple, and pink, plus the cutest tiny bees I’ve ever seen buzzing around each nail. It’s impossible not to look at this and sigh “Aww!” at the cuteness.

As previously mentioned, Zendaya has been changing up her manicure style more this summer, most notably with the bright cherry red she wore to Wimbledon and, now, this nature-inspired set.

She’s also not the only celeb feeling floral this month; Blake Lively has been sporting all sorts of flowery designs on her nails during the It Ends With Us press tour, as she plays a florist in the film and has been wearing full-on floral outfits to match. If you’re feeling bored with your usual summer manicure routine and looking for something more whimsical and cheerful, why not grow a little garden right atop your fingertips?
