When you think of summer nail ideas, rainbow french tips, chrome, and classic "strawberry milk" hues likely come to mind, but a handful of celebrities are trying to make a case for the cherry nail trend — and it's working. As seen on stars like Saweetie and Kourtney Kardashian, cherry nail designs just scream sunshine, picnics with rosé, and floral dresses.
The fruit motif feels equal parts nostalgic and cutesy, with a hit of whimsy. There are a couple of different ways you can wear the look. Instagram is filled with inspiration involving french tips (in a complementary shade of red or the traditional white), a "supermodel" base, and even 3D charms. You can wear cherries on each finger for a super eye-catching and fun manicure, or stick with a few accent nails if that's more your speed. Minimalists will likely prefer Kardashian's version on a nude base with a matching red tip; maximalists will love Saweetie's rhinestone iteration over hot-pink polish.
With tiny, intricate designs like this, it's sometimes best to go to the salon and let a professional work their magic. However, if you really want to get the look at home, stickers and even press-on nails can do the trick — like the PaintLab Cherry Reusable Press-On Gel Nails Kit ($10) and the Glamnetic Press-On Nail Kit in Mi Cherie ($15).
If you need some new ideas for your summer and spring nail rotation, keep scrolling for a variety of fun cherry nails.
