Bright, colorful fruits at the local grocery store or farmer’s market symbolize the summer months. The bounty always puts a smile on my face as I purchase the lush produce.

What better way to replicate these delicious fruits than with fruit-themed nails. Fruit nails are fun, and eye-catching. With their diverse design, just like the diversity of fruits, the fruit designs are infinite. 

Fun, vibrant, bright and playful, a manicure filled with fruit is just what we need to brighten up our summer nails. 

Fruit Nail Designs

From cherries and lemons to watermelons and lemons- and sometimes all of the above mixed together – the summer fruits and the designs associated with each fruit are endless.

If you are looking for a minimal accent nail, or intricate designs with 3D options, there are fruit nail art designs for everyone. 

Cherry Nails

Cherry prints are timeless for summer. They are cute, cheeky, cheery and – by the looks of things – a very popular choice for fruity nails.

Cherry nail art makes so much of a statement on its own that you don’t even need a base color.

There are plenty of ways to wear these fruity designs. The colorful produce can be worn as a subtle statement – it can be worn as a playful design or on just a few nails.

A fun way to incorporate cherries is with multiple cherries scattered across fingertips and seen levelled-up (quite literally) with red 3D gemstones.
