10 Fruit manicures to inspire your summer nail art

The fashion world has taken inspiration from your fruit bowl this summer, with citrus-shaped bags and tomato print slip dresses, and now nail techs are taking note too. 

Over the past few years we’ve seen the beauty girlies go wild for a trend inspired by their favourite foods. We’re still not fully over latte makeup and last year’s Strawberry Girl Summer. But this year it’s about embracing the entire fruit aisle, rather than just honing in on one in particular.

A quick search on socials and you’ll be overwhelmed with tutti frutti nail art, from juicy 3D citrus segments to ditsy berries à la Hailey Bieber, there really is a way to make the trend your own.  

Since it’s already mid-August, time really is of the essence when it comes to pinning down your next Summer mani and so to save you the hassle of choosing your fave look out of thousands, we’ve done most of the hard work and whittled it down to our top 10 mouth-watering designs…

We already love a lemon yellow tip but the addition of these dainty blueberry bunches really takes it up a notch. We’re picturing this set at a late summer picnic and it looks spectacular.

There’s really nothing subtle about this 3D set and that’s why we love it. So shiny and vibrant they almost look good enough to eat.

We can’t get enough of 3D nail art and fruit really lends itself to the trend. The bubbly bunch of grapes is stealing the show for us…

Cherry on Top

If you’re after something more subtle than standout, tiny cherries are a great option. Pair them with a pinky base for a classic look with a twist.

Aperol Spritz Inspired

If these don’t transport you straight to the Amalfi Coast we don’t know what will. Juicy orange slices paired with Italian tile inspired tips – delightful.
