For many of our favourite celebrities, summer 2024 has been all about the garden manicure. Now, Zendaya has joined in the nail art fun with a summery set dotted with colourful daisies and itsy-bitsy bugs.
We first saw Hailey Bieber in a farmers market mani dotted with teeny little fruits and veggies. Then, Kylie Jenner followed suit with a very out-of-character and very adorable bug-centric mani, paving the way for the garden manicure to become the unexpected nail trend of the summer.
Zendaya usually sticks to very simple, neutral milky manicures and French tips, but she's been having fun mixing it up this summer. For her most recent set, manicurist Marina Dobic created an entire flower field on the Emmy winner's nails.
Marina shaped Zendaya's nails into a medium-length soft, rounded square. The London-based manicurist, who frequently works with Z, noted that she used hard gel on the star to keep her nails “strong and healthy,” starting with a sheer base and painting on the thinnest, most delicate white tip.
Atop that, she painted the sweetest little sunflowers and posies in shades of blue, purple, and pink, plus the cutest tiny bees I've ever seen buzzing around each nail. It's impossible not to look at this and sigh “Aww!” at the cuteness.

As previously mentioned, Zendaya has been changing up her manicure style more this summer, most notably with the bright cherry red she wore to Wimbledon and now, this nature-inspired set.
She's also not the only celeb feeling floral this month; Blake Lively has been sporting all sorts of flowery designs on her nails during the It Ends With Us press tour, as she plays a florist in the film and has been wearing full-on floral outfits to match.
“The girls that get it, get it, and the girls that don’t, don’t.”
If you're feeling bored with your usual summer manicure routine and looking for something more whimsical and cheerful, why not grow a little garden right atop your fingertips?
