Are you feeling a bit dotty this summer? Us, too. And we aren’t just talking about Rihanna’s spot-on maternity style, Hailey Bieber’s speckled capri pants, or all the perfectly polka-dotted street style darlings at Copenhagen fashion week. Yes, polka dots are big this season, but the retro pattern has transcended clothing—and is taking on new life—by appearing in the beauty world, too.
It started earlier this season, when Kylie Jenner declared it a “polka dot summer.” Now, Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeny, and Dua Lipa have all been spotted with the look (Lipa found the trend so nice, she tried it twice!). A handful of the trendy manicures are were painted by two of the industry’s biggest celebrity nail artists: London-based Michelle Humphrey and Los Angeles-based Zola Ganzorigt (aka the woman responsible for the glazed donut manicure).
While summer may be drawing to a close (sigh), the polka dot trend is still holding strong. If you’re looking for a little inspiration for you final warm-weather manicure—or want to take it into this spotty-dotty trend into fall, scroll on.
