Nothing complements summer better than a juicy cherry red. Not ready to commit to a full red manicure? Use it as an accent instead. While all different fruit designs have gained popularity recently, cherries are the perfect way to add a pop of seasonal color to your French manicure. The aesthetic produce offers inspiration beyond your weekly grocery list! Below, find 13 cherry-inspired French manicure ideas that sport this summer trend.
Cherry Accent Index Finger
If you’re a DIY fan, this design is for you. First, start by painting a classic white French manicure. Then prep your index finger with a clear base coat and apply round red nail gems to your index finger. Finish it by painting the green cherry stem and viola!
Cherry Hearts
A mismatched manicure but all in the same aesthetic? Yes, please. White French tips, stars, and hearts are fun designs on their own, but the cherry on top is the fruit art scattered throughout.
