It’s no secret that celebrities have taken their nail game to the next level this summer. From Hailey Bieber to Kylie Jenner, the standout looks have one thing in common: celebrity manicurist Zola Ganzorigt. Known for her intricate designs and flawless execution, she’s the go-to for A-listers like Sabrina Carpenter and today’s focus: Vanessa Hudgens. Over the weekend, the actress teamed up with Ganzorigt to create a mesmerizing nail look that the High School Musical alum is “obsessed” with.
Ganzorigt shared an up-close look at Hudgens’ new manicure on her Instagram grid, which chronicles all of the celebrity nail looks she’s done recently. Her nails feature a soft pastel base with a captivating reflective effect. Even more impressively, Ganzorigt mentioned in the caption that Hudgens’ coffin-shaped nails aren’t extensions but rather her client’s natural nails.
Vanessa Hudgens’ Cat-Eye Nails
Naturally, Ganzorigt’s followers flocked to the comments section of her post to praise the design. (“Perfection!” “Love.” “Stunning nails.”) When one person asked, “How do I ask for this at my nail salon?” another person was quick to reply, “cat eye!” and they’re right on the money. Hudgens’ nail look is known as “cat-eye nails,” where nail artists use magnetic polish and a magnet that attracts particles within the polish to create a dimensional design.
Hudgens shared her own video of her nails to her Instagram Story, showing off her velvety-looking nails in all their glory to her 51 million Instagram followers. As a text overlay on the clip, she wrote, “Mesmerized.” She also reposted Ganzorigt’s grid post to her Story, writing, “I’m just obsessed lol.” (We are, too!)
She and the NewBeauty staff are far from the only ones avidly following Ganzorigt’s work. In the past month alone, she’s made headlines for her bouquet nails on Kylie Jenner and her summer garden-inspired manicure. Hailey Bieber’s farmer’s market nails and Jenna Dewan’s holo-glow nails are just a few more of her recent masterpieces. The latter is quite similar to Hudgens’ recent manicure, both equally mesmerizing and multi-dimensional.
Jenna Dewan’s Holo-Glow Manicure
While Dewan and Hudgens’ manicures were similar, so were Bieber and Jenner’s. Instead of a dimensional approach, they enlisted Ganzorigt to create intricate nail illustrations inspired by their respective themes. The Kardashians star’s summer garden theme featured creepy-crawlies like bees, beetles, worms, and butterflies, all complemented by a light yellow French manicure.

Bieber, on the other hand, skipped the French and went with a natural-looking base with little produce illustrations for her farmer’s market theme.
