Drink Inspired Manicures That Celebs Love

Most of us have heard of the chrome, tortoise, and cat eye nail trends, but have you heard of drink-inspired designs? Milk nails became a major moment in the summer of 2024 after Hailey Bieber was seen wearing the sheer white shade on multiple occasions, but there are tons of other drink-inspired designs that have us equally obsessed.

One of those is dirty martini nails, which Bieber, again, rocked during her birthday dinner in November 2024. Her nails were an almond shape with a baby blue base and featured hand-drawn martini olives. Of course she had to hold a martini while sporting the look, which was such a vibe.

The drink-inspired nail trends don't end there, though, and these designs can be worn to accent your look on a variety of occasions. Here are a few more ideas that have been sported by our favorite celebrities. Use them as inspiration to do-it-yourself, or to take the pictures straight to your nail tech!

Martini nails are the trend that has us toasting to nails that gives bougie vibes. The trend also allows you to add a little something special to your manicure while still keeping it simple. So, feel free embrace those cute tiny olives or even a sketch of sophisticated martini glasses!

Martini nails are also great for people who enjoy show-stopping 3D effects or more detailed nail art. Don't be afraid to make those olives stand out by making them 3D — and you can even add more detail to the glass and drink of choice.

A chai latte may be your go-to order at your favorite cafe, but it could also become your go-to manicure shade. The trend involves painting your nails with a shade of beige that resembles the creamy drink. Selena Gomez wore the coffee-inspired nails at the September 2024 premiere of her Netflix film "Emilia Perez." And that manicure against her dark black gown truly elevated her sophisticated look!

The simplicity of chai latte nails make the manicure look elegant with both casual and dressy outfits. At the same time, you can really own the look by adding some cool designs. Try combining different latte-esque shades to create a stunning marble look. Or there's always the classic French manicure using various hues of beige.

Hot cocoa nails are great for those who want a warm look, perfect during the fall and winter months. Bella Hadid revived the 2023 hot chocolate nail trend at an Ulta photoshoot in December 2024, and we can't lie, her nails had us feeling all toasty. You can get the look too by wearing your favorite shade of brown — and the best part is that this trend looks great on all nail shapes and lengths!

If you love your hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream or other ingredients that make it taste even more delicious, feel free to add some flair to your hot chocolate nails by creating an ombre look. You can also add shimmer or chrome to your heart's content!

Milk nails are so versatile that you can wear them on a fancy outing, casually, and more. The manicure features an almost opaque shade of white. "The sheerness gives your nails a more natural look than just an opaque solid white," celebrity manicurist Steph Stone told InStyle. "Because of its translucence, you can really wear this polish with anything!" If you want something with a little less neutral, try strawberry milk or even blueberry milk nails. 

Cherry mocha nails are very simple, but they make a big statement. The dark burgundy shade was sported by Selena Gomez in December 2024, a great accent to her black-and-white outfit. If you really love the deep, warm color, you can even match the nail trend with cherry mocha makeup.

Cherry mocha nails are perfect for fall and the holidays, but you can make them work year-round using a variety of different designs like tortoiseshell, crocodile print and blooming gel polish, which can help create various shapes and patterns.

If you're looking for a refreshing manicure, then pina colada nails may be the answer. The trendy nails are usually an off-white color reminiscent of the inside of a coconut. But the shade can also veer light pink, as with Daisy DND's Pina Colada Gel Polish. 

Though the color alone is enough to turn heads, you can definitely make it your own with some cute summery designs.
