Coachella 2025: the celebrity festival nail looks you need to see

Known for its star-studded guest list, Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held over two weekends in the Colorado Desert, California.

Celebrity festival-goers sport stunning, on-trend fashion pieces, accessorised with eye-catching nail styles. With the first weekend over for 2025, we’ve rounded up nail looks to note…

Celebrity & session nail stylist, Juan Alvear, was on hand to create two nail styles for Thai singer & rapper, LISA, using Aprés Nail. The first was a set of extreme claws, sculpted using Aprés Nail Extend Gel Novice, and the second, subtler look was for the music artist’s performance. In both styles, a gradient was created using Aprés Nail Gel Couleur in Midnight Shadow and finished with chrome powder.

Model & entrepreneur, Hailey Bieber, turned to Hollywood nail artist, Britney Tokyo, for a textured festival nail design. Upon a soft pink base, Tokyo crafted abstract 3D elements, which boasted an iridescent shine.

Social media personality, Dixie D’Amelio, enlisted the help of nail artist to the stars, Brittney Boyce (@nails_of_la), for her Coachella nails. The pro used Gelish for the style, writing on Instagram: ‘Dixie is wearing [Soft Gel] Medium Square extensions. I applied Simple Sheer [Soak-Off Gel Polish] as the base colour, then used Blooming Gel with Sheek White [Soak-Off Gel Polish] to create the design. To finish, I sealed it with No Cleanse Top Coat.’

LA-based Mel Shengaris of @painted_lolly jumped onboard the timeless chrome nail trend, with a metallic silver finish over an almond nail shape for singer & actress, Dove Cameron.

Kylie Jenner celebrated the launch of new flavours from her canned cocktail brand, Sprinter, at Coachella 2025, and sported silver chrome star nail art to do so. The look was the work of Zola Ganzorigt of @nailsbyzola.

Cinzia Zullo, co-host of The Girls Bathroom podcast, opted for warm pink and orange tones in a Coachella nail appointment at London’s Chi’s Nails (@chi_nails). Aura effects made an appearance alongside abstract 3D gel patterns.

Influencer & podcast host, Alisha Marie, was seen wearing a ‘desert chrome’ mix and match design courtesy of Hollywood nail artist, @_st.nelle. The look featured textured chrome, croc print patterns and pearls.

Brown and yellow daisies were the festival nail art choice of content creator, Bethan McCoy. The design was created by Newcastle tech, Lizzy of @_citre, who finished the florals with sparkling gems in their centres.
