Cherry Nails Designs For Your Next Manicure

When you think of fun nail ideas, rainbow french tips, chrome finishes, and bright polish hues likely come to mind, but we’d like to make a case for cherry nails. As seen on stars like Saweetie and Kourtney Kardashian, cherry nail designs just scream happy times.

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 cherry nail art on each finger for a super eye-catching and fun manicure, or stick with a few accent fingers 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 ($9) and the Glamnetic Press-On Nail Kit in Mi Cherie ($15).

If you need some new ideas for your next mani (or just to keep on hand for when you’re in a pinch), keep scrolling for a variety of fun cherry nails.
