The Summer Nail Color of 2025 Is Inspired by the Princess Trend, Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande & More

It’s official: Baby pink is the summer nail color of 2025. Between the Barbiecore trend, coquette aesthetic, and guava girl summer, this adorable pink shade has been gaining momentum for quite some time. Now, it's reaching its full potential this season.

While milk nails and bolder nail art will also be sought-after as the weather heats up, baby pink is a tried-and-true hue that has been a classic for forever, and it’s been surging in popularity over the past few months thanks to the princess nails trend. The aesthetic is inspired by royalty's simple yet elegant manicures, which often utilize neutral or subtle tones like baby pink. The effect is not too different than a bare nail, but it's still glossy and polished.

It's safe to say it might just be a summer nail color you need to try this year. But don't just take our word for it. These celebrities have given us a masterclass in how to make the seemingly simple trend ultra stylish.

Over the weekend, Hailey Bieber showed us how to combine a number of trends in one cohesive look. She wore capri pants with a polka dot pattern and paired them with flip flops. As if that wasn't trendy enough on its own, she also opted for a cool-toned baby pink manicure, giving the look a picturesque finish. Later, she also wore a green silk dress, which gave off total guava girl vibes when paired with the nail color.

Laufey made baby pink her spring-to-summer transitional color and proved that the trend can be just as glam with short nails. It made her look for the Chanel Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner even more posh.

Simone Biles gave the princess nails trend the Met Gala treatment back in May. (It wouldn't be the first nail trend to have been launched from the Met steps. Who could forget glazed donut nails?) Juxtaposed against her blue dress, she made the subtle nail color pop, giving it the potential it needed to become a coveted summer shade.

Earlier in the spring, BLACKPINK's Jisoo gave the baby pink trend a sparkly finish as well, truly leaning into the princess inspiration. Bonus points: She wore a matching sparkly pink lip gloss as well. Contrasted by her simple black Dior dress with a subtle floral panel, the look was truly fit for royalty.
