Be it the reminiscent (and resurgent) energy of Brat summer, the post-Coachella festival high or just the dopamine-boost we’re all getting from the spring weather, our beauty vibes are getting a whole lot brighter and bolder as of late. It seems that celebrities and beauty lovers are leaving behind the clean-girl aesthetic in favor of a bigger, bolder, more Brat-inspired energy for summer, and we can’t get enough. Solidifying what is shaping up to be the summer nail trend, Vanessa Hudgens’ latest A-list manicure is all the proof we needed that neutral is out and neon is so in.
Vanessa Hudgens’ Neon Yellow Inverse French Nails for Summer
Leave it to festival queen Vanessa Hudgens and her resident nail guru Zola Ganzorigt to totally transform the nail trend scene as we know it. When it comes to what’s hot in the manicure world, Ganzorigt and Hudgens are two key sources, and they’re both jumping on board the neon train for summer. Yesterday, Ganzorigt took to Instagram to show off the Spring Breakers star’s newest nail look, and the summery, festival-coded vibes are high.
In her signature length almond shape, Hudgens’ first manicure of the official spring and summer season features a nude base contrasted with hand-painted, inverse French designs in an eye-catching neon yellow—a welcome departure from the more subtle, buttery shades of the past several months. Completing the rave-ready style are silver star decals on each nail, which only up the ante on the maximalist, neon nail trend guaranteed to take over this summer.
