Kelsea Ballerini is making waves, and it’s not just with her music. The 30-year-old singer has been building excitement on social media for her upcoming album, Patterns, ever since announcing it for preorder on August 8, most recently revealing the full tracklist. But the country music star isn’t stopping there—she’s now giving fans even more to talk about with a double take-worthy manicure that seems to perfectly complement her upcoming album release: playful, patterned nail art brought to life by celebrity manicurist Zola Ganzorigt.
Ganzorigt is the go-to manicurist for countless celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Sabrina Carpenter, and Hailey Bieber, to name a few. She’s no stranger to intricately painted nail creations, and her latest for Ballerini is no exception. The look features a mix of abstract designs, including vibrant blue star-like symbols, soft yellow accents, and whimsical red dashes, all painted on a soft almond shape—the unofficial must-have nail shape of the summer, as seen on several A-listers. Get an up-close look at Ballerini’s newly debuted manicure, shared by Ganzorigt on her Instagram grid with the apt caption, “PATTERN.”
Kelsea Ballerini’s ‘Pattern’ Nails
Ballerini’s manicure follows a summer of standout mismatched designs by Ganzorigt, including Kylie Jenner’s garden-inspired nails featuring yellow French tips and tiny insects, and Hailey Bieber’s farmer’s market nails starring a variety of fruits and vegetables on a naked base. And let’s not forget one of Jenner’s most recent manicures, which offers a subtler take on the trend with differently shaped and colored nail gems on each nail.
Mismatched, detailed manicures are clearly having a moment. Case in point: Bieber’s farmer’s market manicure went viral, inspiring countless recreations among fans. What’s more, a Fresha study revealed that searches for “Hailey Bieber nails” surged by 350 percent in just one week. (Casual!)
We’re eager to see the impact of Ballerini’s latest manicure and whether patterned nails will trend as extravagantly as Bieber’s fruit and veggie-inspired nail design. Regardless of the trend’s trajectory, one thing’s for sure, though: we’re inspired to dream up our own spin on Ballerini’s creative mani, stat.
