Shape up—these are the best male celebrity manicures to cop this season

Shape up—these are the best male celebrity manicures to cop this season

We call it like we see it—in 2025, the notion of a man sporting a full set of painted, embellished digits is far from brow-raising. In fact if we are to get pedantic about it, male celebrity manicures have been a mainstay amongst a specific subset since the '70s. See: rock and roll icons in the vein of David Bowie and Kurt Cobain, as well as notable figures within the pop-punk space such as Pete Wentz and Gerard Way. And if recent happenings are anything to go by, its appeal is far from limited to a specific musical genre. A$AP Rocky, for one, stated in an interview with Vogue US in 2019 that 'men should be able to do nail art without feeling feminine.' This was followed by the launch of Pleasing in 2021, a venture by Harry Styles which kicked off with a series of polishes in hues of electric blue, pastel pink, and more. Not forgetting, of course, the Hollywood circuit, with bigwigs such as Jared Leto, Ben Platt, and Billy Porter gracing the red carpet with varnished nails.
All of this to say that there is no time like the present to try out a fresh new set of talons. For the maximalist at heart, look to South Korean rapper G-Dragon who displays a preference for intricate nail art set against bright, Skittle-inspired shades. The8 from K-Pop boy band, Seventeen, on the other hand, prefers a more graphic take, while Machine Gun Kelly opts for fun detailing with a checkerboard design. See our full curation of the most stellar male celebrity manicures, below. @8lo8lo8lowme
1 / 8 G-Dragon
Take a leaf from G-Dragon's book and usher in the summer season with nails that truly pop. For added dimension, incorporate zany touches in the form of animal prints, polka dots, and the like. @winmetawin
2 / 8 Win Metawin
It's safe to say that G-Dragon isn't the only one with summer-inspired nails on their agenda. Thai actor, Win Metawin, shows off a more pastel iteration that makes for a striking statement. @saythename_17
3 / 8 Dokyeom from Seventeen
Spicing up a neutral manicure is made easy when 3D elements are in play. Dokyeom from Seventeen opts for gauzy, amoeba-like structures for the band's most recent comeback. @machinegunkelly
4 / 8 Machine Gun Kelly
Nothing tempers stark red nails quite like a hint of monochrome. Machine Gun Kelly presents a fun and contemporary take with a checkerboard pattern that feels like a homage to the punk and emo wave. @theebillyporter
5 / 8 Billy Porter
You can't go wrong with a classic black hue—Billy Porter is living proof. @yg_treasure
6 / 8 Yoshi from Treasure
In this case, imperfection is key. Yoshi from Treasure amps up the grunge factor by ensuring that no single nail is painted the same way. @marktuan
7 / 8 Mark Tuan from GOT7
Get those head turnings by amalgamating all your favourite metallics into a single nail set. Mark Tuan from GOT7 keeps ensures it doesn't appear OTT by limiting these hues to the smallest details—think borders, singular lines down the middle, and gems. @xuminghao_o
8 / 8 The8 from Seventeen
Minimalists are sure to adore this intriguing twist on chipped, gritty nail polish. The8 from Seventeen takes it a step further by incorporating his stage name within the assortment.

Our Unwritten Seoul Star Park Bo Young Shares Exciting New Details About Upcoming Project

Our Unwritten Seoul star, Park Bo Young, has shared exciting new details about her upcoming project. The Disney+ drama will focus on the transformation of a woman named Hee Joo while she tries to protect gold bars. It will follow Hee Joo after she possesses gold bars linked to an illegal smuggling ring. She will take up a challenge to guard the gold bars from the people around her, who are consumed by betrayal and greed. Gradually, Hee Joo will try to overcome her growing greed to keep the gold. Park Bo Young will portray Hee Joo, a security screening officer at an international airport, in the upcoming Disney+ drama Gold Land. According to the actress, she chose this project because she was excited to try a new genre. Explaining the plot, the actress said the mini-series will showcase human nature to obsess over things like gold. "I'm excited to try a new genre. The process in which Hee Joo, who seemed uninterested in gold, changes as she becomes obsessed with human nature and desires will be portrayed interestingly," Park Bo Young shared. Gold Land Cast The other cast members of this upcoming K-drama are Kim Sung Cheol, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Hee Won, Moon Jung Hee, and Lee Kwang Soo. Sung Cheol will play Jang Wook, a member of a loan shark ring known as Woo Gi. Though Jang Wook is a low-ranking member of this ring, he will join his team on a mission to get back the gold bars from Hee Joo. Jang Wook approaches Hee Joo, pretending to help her, but his true motive behind the action remains unknown. Actor Kim Sung Cheol said Woo Gi is a challenging character with complexity and suspense. Although Woo Gi appears to be trustworthy, he is always a step from betrayal. The actor teased exciting on-screen chemistry with Park Bo Young. "Woo Gi is a challenging character, and I saw it as a chance to show a different side of myself. I'm also excited about the chemistry I'll build with Hee Joo," Kim Sung Cheol said. Visual Appeal and Emotional Journey Actors Lee Hyun Wook and Kim Hee Won teased visual appeal and emotional journey in the upcoming drama Gold Land. Lee Hyun Wook will appear as Lee Do Kyung, an airline co-pilot. He lures Hee Joo into gold smuggling. Although he will be introduced as her romantic partner, it remains to be seen whether Lee Do Kyung is using Hee Joo for personal gain. The actor said overseas filming locations have added to the visual appeal of the series. "There were many parts that I was looking forward to after seeing the fresh material in the script. With overseas location filming also planned, I think the series will offer visual appeal," Lee Hyun Wook said. Kim Hee Won will star as Kim Jin Man, a seasoned detective in the violent crimes unit at the Jeongsan Police Department. The actor has teased an emotional journey for his character in the mini-series. "I've been having conversations with the director and continue to explore Jin Man's character. I'm thinking about his emotional journey, past experiences, and the choices he'd realistically make as a detective," Kim Hee Won teased. In a similar vein, actress Moon Jung Hee, who will portray Yeo Sun Ok, Hee Joo's mother, said she has high expectations for this project because director Kim Seong Hun is known for his unique work. His directorial style will add depth to the emotional landscape of this complex and unique plot. Actor Lee Kwang Soo, who takes over the role of Director Park, in-charge of Geumseong -- a lower-tier branch of the Gold Land hotel casino operation, said people of all age groups can enjoy this K-drama because it features characters who are vivid and full of life.
