Haven't you heard? Tennis is the sport showing up on everyone's mood boards this summer. Extend the trend to your nails with these creative and colourful designs

Tennis match? More like tennis manicure. We’re leaning hard into tennis-core this summer, what with Zendaya method-dressing in tennis whites and trainers while promoting Challengers, and Wimbledon now underway. Now it’s time to tap into the trend via your nails.

Take inspiration from players on the court – British hopeful Katie Boulter was spied sporting a themed manicure at London's SW19 this week: a mixture of hand-drawn strawberries and tips in Wimbledon’s iconic shades of purple and green.

Take inspiration from manicurist Rosie Faulkner’s micro tennis balls and strawberry nail art, statement nails by Kadimah Aaliyah, or a tennis ball-coloured twist on the Brat-green nail trend.
