Brr… is that a cold front coming in? Given that we’re rapidly approaching August and the hottest days of summer, probably not—but Florence Pugh’s Spider-Man manicure feels like a chilly air-conditioned breeze for your fingers.
Pugh popped up at the London premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as it’s rumored she’s appearing in the film as her Marvel Universe character Yelena Belova. She went full ice queen with her look, including a glimmering silvery-white beaded gown and a set of frosted nails that matched the dress almost exactly. The Oscar-nominated star kept her nails fairly short and filed them into a softly rounded square shape, topped with a few layers of a sheer, cool white hue with a shimmery finish that looked like actual pearls laid atop her nails—but maybe pearls worn by Queen Elsa in her Frozen palace.
Sure, these could be called glazed donut nails, but they’re slightly more opaque than the widely loved manicure aesthetic, and the cool tone of the white polish is definitely fit for an ice queen. The key word here is “frosted,” after all!

Pugh isn’t the only celeb embracing cool nail polish tones when it’s hot-hot-hot outside. Last week, Hailey Bieber—queen of the glazed nails—stepped out in steamy New York City in a matching cornflower blue mani-pedi that instantly cooled down the sweltering summertime heat—and inspired more than a few Allure editors and writers to go blue at their next nail appointment.
If you’re feeling Pugh’s pearl nails and want to replicate the frosty chill from the comfort of your (hopefully air-conditioned) home, Londontown’s Enhanced Colour in Powder nails the vibe, as do Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri Nail Polish in Silk and Cirque Color’s Nail Polish in the pearlescent, ballet-inspired shade Sylph. Then turn on the fan to its highest setting to cool down and let your nails dry. In this case, a little summer frost is a very, very good thing!
