Intricately painted manicures are a true art form, and this summer, celebrities are taking their nail game to new heights. Take Kylie Jenner’s yellow French tips with adorable creepy-crawlies, for example, or Hailey Bieber’s farmer’s market nails, complete with tiny, meticulously detailed produce. They’re certainly not alone; even more A-listers are teaming up with their favorite nail artists to create designs that set social media ablaze. The latest? Zendaya. Her nail look, perfectly dubbed “summer nails,” captures the season’s vibe in all its glory.
Zendaya entrusted her go-to celebrity manicurist, Marina Dobic, with creating the summery design—and she certainly delivered. Dobic shared an up-close video of the finished result on her Instagram grid and it’s the perfect blend of classic elegance and playful detail.
In her caption, Dobic revealed they used hard gel to “keep the nails strong & healthy.” As for the length and design, the Euphoria star’s nails are relatively short and square-shaped, featuring a micro French tip and intricately painted flowers on each nail, peppered with little hand-painted bumblebees.

Zendaya’s Floral “Summer Nails”
Naturally, Dobic and Zendaya’s fans are losing it over her manicure in the comments section. One person perfectly summed up what the entire NewBeauty team was thinking when we saw them for the first time: “Absolutely incredible. That detail, those colors, the French just everything, wow.” Another couldn’t resist shouting out how adorable the bees are, to which Dobic replied, “I love the bees too.”
Zendaya’s manicure is, in a way, a fusion of Jenner’s aforementioned garden-inspired nails and Blake Lively’s recent love for floral nails. Lively, 36, stars in the upcoming film It Ends With Us, playing a character who opens a floral shop. To stay on-theme, she’s been sporting flower-themed manicures throughout the movie’s press tour. Those, combined with Zendaya’s latest nail art, are proof that the floral trend is only gaining momentum.
