17 Cherry Nail Ideas For Summer, From 3D Designs To French Tips
Ch-ch-cherry bomb.
Summer is finally in full swing, and with it, colorful, fruit-filled nail art designs are being spotted on A-list celebs, influencers, and the total manicure obsessed alike. Hello, juicy watermelon tips and yummy peach-inspired hues aplenty for the warm months to come.
Though the beloved fruit that serves up all of the vibes (and year round, too)? Cherries. And cross-category, the deep scarlet-hued treat is seriously having its main character moment.
For one, Kourtney Kardashian was recently spotted with adorable micro cherry nail art, expertly painted atop some high-shine lip gloss nails by her go-to manicurist, Kim Truong. When it comes to what’s trending with makeup and hair, cherry cola lips and cherry coke hair are all but taking over as the buzzy TikTok trends you might just want to watch.
Needless to say: “Red nail theory” hues used to paint on cherries are very much on-trend, and especially for the summer months, the Baywatch-inspired shade is set to be a mainstay for beachside vacations and beyond.
