Coachella 2025: Where Manicures Get a Trippy Makeover

When the sun went down on the first weekend of Coachella 2025, the desert music festival transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors and creativity. The A-list crowd brought their unique style to the festival, with 3D nail art reigning supreme as the go-to look.

• Hailey Bieber
• Ariana Greenblatt
• Kylie Jenner

were among the celebrities who stunned the crowd with their intricate, textured manicures. Each one offered a unique spin on the 3D nail art trend. Hailey Bieber, who wore a radioactive-green set last year, opted for a pretty pink manicure created by nail artist Britney Tokyo. On her long almond-shaped nails, Tokyo designed textured chrome swirls that almost work as an optical illusion. The 3D nail art creates depth, while the light-shifting chrome gives off the appearance of movement. A trippy manicure perfect for a weekend in Coachella Valley. Instagram content

Ganzorigt, who created Bieber’s signature glazed-donut nails look, used a combination of silver chrome, aura nail art, and French tips to create a truly custom set courtesy of OPI. Although Greenblatt’s nails were kept short and round, the design still stood out—proving that you don’t need superlong nails to pull off 3D nail art. Kylie Jenner took a more low-key approach with matte nude nails and silver chrome stars. Ganzorigt also created Jenner’s look, opting for a long almond shape to let the silver nail design shine. The contrast between the matte and chrome finishes helped create subtle dimension. Feeling inspired? If you want to try your hand at a 3D mani, you’ll want to keep a few things in mind. “I truly believe that nailing the prep, choosing the right products, and using a gentle removal process make up 90% of the recipe for a long-lasting mani,” nail artist Isa Rodriguez previously told Glamour. Nail artist Miki Higuchi also adds that it’s essential to be extra careful with your hands. “Wear gloves when you do household chores, and don’t use your nails as tools, like for opening cans or packages,” she says.

• Nail the prep: Choose the right products and take the time to prepare your nails.
• Be gentle: Use a gentle removal process to avoid damaging your nails.
• Take care of your hands: Wear gloves when doing household chores and avoid using your nails as tools.

If your 3D nail art starts to show signs of wear, make sure to get to your nail tech ASAP. “If chips or lifting do happen, skip the DIY fix,” says Rodriguez. “Messing with a damaged manicure is dangerous territory. And peeling off gel nails or fiddling with intricate 3D designs can damage the health of your nails, making future manis even shorter-lived.” Don’t be tempted to DIY fix your damaged manicure.
