This jaw-dropping manicure turns each nail into a sparkly slice of watermelon. Two shades of green create the rind along the cuticle, while a shimmery red topped with black dots represents the seeded flesh. For a look that embodies all the summer fruits, incorporate watermelons into a mix of strawberries, kiwis, oranges, and lemons. Go less literal with your look by trying a design in watermelon colors.

"This design is cool because it is the same pattern, but each hand is done in a different color to show the two sides of a Gemini," says Rose. These nails includes a mix of two different neon colors to make one whimsical set. When paired on top of a nude base, the contrast works extra well. Given that Gemini has a yellow aura, this design is more than fitting. It features a nude base with yellow air-brushed blobs paired with gems. These butter-yellow French tips are both sweet and impactful.

It was popularized by Hailey Bieber's mani at the 2022 Met Gala, which featured a milky white polish with a chrome overlay—just like the look pictured here. Post Met Gala, Bieber went on to rock shades like bubblegum pink and neon yellow with chrome powder, igniting the trend even further.

"No matter what perfume I have on, or how much I have on, or how recently I refreshed it, the product that's in my hair is always the scent that comes through the most," Lively tells InStyle. But before launching her range last summer, none of the hair-care products she loved to use had scents—like woods or gourmands— that she would naturally gravitate towards.
