I’m all for a neutral manicure. In fact, my usual go-to is usually some kind of sheer pink nail polish like OPI Bubble Bath (or if I’m pushing the boat out, perhaps a coat of Funny Bunny too). But right now, I have a hankering for some nail art. Fruity nails have been all over my social feeds right now. And according to Pinterest, it’s tipped to be one of the biggest nail trends of the summer, which searches for fruit nails up 175% on the platform. From lemon nails to watermelon nails, everyone is going tutti frutti for their manicures this summer, so we won’t be seeing fruity nails going anywhere anytime soon.
If you’re ready to get one of your five a day on your fingertips, then scroll ahead for the trending fruity nail designs that even nail art minimalists will love. Which one will you pick?

Hailey Bieber called the strawberry trend last summer, and strawberry nail art still feels fresh for 2024.

How adorable are these tiny micro nail art watermelon slices? This is a great choice for shorter nails or if you want something a little more minimal for your mani.
4. Orange Nail Art
Just looking at this zesty orange nail art is giving me holiday vibes.
4. Peach Nails
How chic is this peach nail art?
6. Papaya Nails
Papaya is the unexpected fruity nail art that looks good enough to eat.

If you can’t decide on just one fruit, why not go for the whole fruit bowl across your nails.

This black nail polish and banana nail art combo is surprisingly chic.
