It’s time for the desert heat to meet the good beats! 🎶 Coachella szn is upon us (April 11-13 & 18-20), and that’s our green light to serve looks from head to fingertips. The 2025 lineup is stacked with the best of the best and most influential from music to fashion. You’ll catch Blinks, Little Monsters, Tygers, and Charli’s Angels smiling from ear to ear as they watch their favorite artists’ performances! Coachella-brate with these 9 incredible nails inspired by the trendy aesthetic of Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, Jennie, Tyla, Clairo, Lisa, Megan Thee Stallion, beabadobee, and Missy Elliott. Lady Gaga We’re going gaga for the grunge, avant-garde motif of Lady Gaga’s latest album, MAYHEM! If you’re a long-time Little Monster, you can see some aspects of the visuals reminiscent of the Born This Way album. For this year’s Coachella, draw nail inspiration from the Abracadabra music video using red, black, and white shades and silver pierced nail gems. Use a peach nude color for the base if you’re planning to do Frenchies. Product Used:Dip & Dap Duo - DD173 I'm Blushing Charli XCX Never too late to pull off a brat green spring. 🍏 The BRAT album scratched our brains just right last year, and due to its rave influence and high-energy album art color, it has gained global domination and become the party animal anthem. Thanks to Charli XCX, choosing a brat green nail look for the festival will make your fingertips stand out from the crowd and make your nights more memorable with its dirty neon, slime green tone.

Keep your hair done, nails done, like Jennie 💅🏻 I’m sure you’ve heard this popular chant-like song on TikTok that oozes with confidence and power through every beat and sharp choreography. Her debut solo album, Ruby, features heavy use of white, black, and ruby tones on the cover, which you can follow for your Coachella nail inspo. Don’t forget to add modern, youthful nail art charms to balance Jennie’s strong alter ego.

The “Water” and “PUSH 2 START” South African singer is reviving the 2000s pop star style mixed with contemporary designs, which absolutely matches the vibe of Coachella. Tygers, you already know what to do with your nails! Just like this set, you can paint your nails with a cat eye polish and decorate them easily with animal print nail art using foils.
