Zendaya, the multifaceted star, continues to captivate audiences with her diverse talents. While many adore her for her acting prowess in “Euphoria” or “Challengers,” her fashion sense, or even her dog’s Instagram fame, it’s her nail game that’s catching everyone’s eye.
In a stunning display of versatility, Zendaya has pivoted from pioneering an off-season maroon manicure to embracing a summer-soaked floral French design – all within a week. Her trusted nail artist, Marina Dobic, recently shared a close-up of this trend-setting creation on Instagram, serving up a platter of inspiration.
This latest manicure is a trifecta of summer nail trends. The foundation channels the “bubble bath” look, a style favored by Meghan Markle. A soft pink-white base lends an air of understated elegance to Zendaya’s nails.
But don’t be fooled – this design is far from simple. Butter yellow sunflowers make an appearance, tapping into what might be the year’s most popular hue. As Aprés Nail educator Priscilla Nguyen explained, “Butter yellow is trending as the new nude. It adds a splash of color without being overpowering.”
The pièce de résistance? Dobic incorporated the “backyard bug” trend, a style gaining traction in the wake of Kylie Jenner’s insect-inspired manicure. Tiny bumblebees and ladybugs flit across Zendaya’s nails, intertwining with a variety of vibrant blooms.
Dobic humbly credited this backyard-chic look as a “team work” effort in her Instagram caption. While it’s tempting to speculate about Zendaya’s potential nail art skills, I can’t conclusively say if these minuscule illustrations are another feather in her cap of talents.
