Would it even be spring without enjoying a nice glass of strawberry lemonade? The drink is practically a seasonal ritual thanks to its delicious blend of being equal parts sweet and tart. And now, its signature color palette is making a strong case for the spring nail trend of the moment. Strawberry lemonade nails are booming this season, and it’s easy to see why.
Opting for this fun manicure combines hues like juicy pinks, zesty yellows, and glossy finishes. It’s like an instant refreshing mood booster whenever you look at your fingertips. Expect some versions to play into chrome touches and unique negative-space designs, while others go for a more literal approach. It’s a nice move away from the usual spring pastels. With pink polish shades like Gucci’s Valentine Fuchsia and essie’s Riviara Rush Jelly Gloss, and yellow shades like OPI’s Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet or Olive & June’s Bright and Focused, it’s never been easier to get the look at home.
Ahead, explore 10 ways to rock the strawberry lemonade nails trend.
Glazed Strawberry Lemonade
Go for a high-shine, super glossy moment that brings on the cool girl vibes with this glazed look. It incorporates just the tiniest peek of yellow alongside an airbrushed aura pink on a nude nail base.
3D Textures
Flowers and lemonade just make sense. This sweet 3D set uses the hues of the trend and flips it on its head for a manicure that feels whimsical and energetic.
Literal Tips
What can I say, these are about as ‘strawberry lemonade nails’ as you can get. This set plays around with texture to replicate the fruit skin and adds a fun mix of jelly texture and matte finishes.
When Life Gives You Lemons
Why mess with a good thing? If pinks aren’t your preference, skip the strawberry and lean fully into citrus with a straightforward nail design that packs on the lemons.
Half and Half
There’s something especially charming about a mismatched manicure. One hand adorned with tiny lemons, the other with bright strawberries, together, the fruity manicure feels effortlessly playful. And on a short set of nails, the look feels even sweeter.
Negative Space
A nude contrast can ground the look, especially when working with two bold shades like yellow and pink. Since they’re both so bold, you can make them feel a bit more wearable by mixing in a glossy nude base.
Abstract Art
Crisscross your shades for a fun and eccentric take on the trend. While this one is an example of what it would look like on short nails, it would also be so good on a longer set.
Croc Finishes
Throw in some blooming gel to create a style that feels especially summer-forward. On a pink base, this will look all the more dynamic.
Marbled
There’s much to marvel at when it comes to these marbled beauties. They’re soft and quirky but still feel subtle enough to wear. Add an accent yellow nail for an extra pop.
Poppi Can
Are you a die-hard Poppi fan? (Same.) This take on the trend features a near-replica of the Poppi Strawberry Lemonade can. Plus, the addition of yellow and pink crystals gives it a sweeter edge.
