The colors all pair together beautifully and she shows the design works on shorter nails. The easiest way to make the flowers is by just creating small dots using a dotting tool in a flower shape.
5. Chrome strawberry nails design
Who doesn’t love a little chrome?! The chrome stems of the strawberries on this design by @naildesignbykayla add a subtle touch that makes everything pop. If you are DIYing at home, you can use eyeshadow for the chrome effect!

For something a little more subtle and muted, go for these fruit nails by @by.lucyrose. She started with a milky nude base and then added a subtle fruit design to a corner of each nail. When doing it at home, be sure to not make the fruit designs too large—you want them to be subtle for this look.
7. Stripes and fruit nails
These fruit nails by @nailsby.stells give off major European summer vibes thanks to the chic striping mixed in with the fruits. When doing the stripes at home, try using nail striping tape to create perfect, straight lines.
8. Orange on orange nails
For color that is sure to stand out in the best way, try out this orange nail design by @_h.collective. The nude base of the orange nail art accent nails paired with the solid orange nails blend together beautifully. The green leaves are easiest to create using a green striping polish.
9. Multi-color fruit French tips
Bring on the color with these fruit-packed French tips by @thegelstudio_. Each tip is a different color and each nail has a different fruit, which makes for a fun and bright mani. If you’re going the DIY route, you can try using fruit nail stickers rather than hand-painting.

These strawberry nails by @landofhands are oh-so-dreamy. The pink swirl accent nails pair perfectly with the red berries and the milky pink base is gorgeous. When DIYing, make sure you let the base dry before you add the swirly stripes.
