Scarlett Johansson’s manicure is a Summer 2025 trend

American actress Scarlett Johansson officially said goodbye to the classic French tips, becoming the first star to approve the new nail trend of the season: ice cream nails. If anyone doubted that this would be the summer manicure of 2025, Johansson's appearance at two high-profile events put an end to it.

Vogue wrote about it.

Scarlett Johansson appeared with a new manicure at two high-profile events

First at the Jimmy Fallon Show and then at the red carpet premiere of Jurassic World: Rebirth in New York. At both events, her delicate, dreamy nail design resembled a work of art.

What is an ice cream manicure, and why is everyone talking about it?

It creates the illusion of melting ice cream — a touch of vanilla, a drop of strawberry, and a hint of pistachio. The effect comes from a soft gradient, with shades blending seamlessly like brushstrokes. Nail artist Harriet Westmoreland is the mastermind behind the technique, and it’s already been seen on stars like Zendaya and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Why is it the "it" thing this summer?

Ice cream nails are timeless and universally flattering. They pair effortlessly with light summer dresses, minimalist outfits, and even all-black looks. The effect is subtle yet playful — adding lightness, elegance, and a touch of childhood nostalgia without going over the top.

Scarlett Johansson didn’t just embrace the trend — she turned it into a summer must-have. If you haven’t tried ice cream nails yet, maybe it’s time to book that nail appointment.
