If you’ve scrolled Instagram or TikTok lately, you’ve probably spotted them: teeny-tiny fruit designs dotting perfectly manicured nails. 🍋🍓 Micro-fruit nails are everywhere this season - playful, glossy, and fresh off the vine (or at least, your nail brush). At 14 Day Mani, we couldn’t resist creating our own takes on the trend, as always keeping any nail art easy and beginner-friendly so that you can recreate them at home.. Using our Gel Polish Starter Kit, plus all our gorgeous summer Gel Polish shades, we’ve put together three fruity looks that are surprisingly simple yet will have you fending off the compliments this summer. 1. Zesty Lemon Slices 🍋 Bright, clean and summer-fresh. We paired a nude base with soft yellow tips, then added hand-painted lemon slices and leafy details for a fresh, citrusy pop. The result is fun without being over the top - like a lemonade stand, but make it chic. Our top tip: Add contrast by using a matte base under your glossy fruit art — it really makes the details stand out. Shades used: Butter & Bare-ista 2. Strawberry & Cream French Tips 🍓 This one’s gone viral for a reason: tiny strawberries lining a French tip is the perfect mix of sweet and sharp. Think Wimbledon season inspired strawberries and cream. We used a milky nude base and added white tips, dotted with juicy red strawberries and leafy green stems. Our top tip: Use a dotting tool (or even the end of a toothpick) to create perfectly round berries. Add the tiny seeds after curing your red dots so they stay sharp and don’t blend in. Shades used: Jelly Candy, Red Carpet, White Paint 3. Berry-Blue Nail Art 💙 Blue is the colour of the season, and we can see why from this gorgeous blueberry look. We paired periwinkle gel polish with a sheer shimmer base and dotted on mini blue berries and green leaves. It’s a subtle take on the trend - and ridiculously pretty in natural light. Our top tip: You don’t need to go full nail art on every finger. One or two accent nails can make just as much impact. Shades used: Feather Feels, Blue Dreams, Electric Sky Why Micro-Fruit Just Works ✨ Micro-fruit art hits that sweet spot - a little bit playful, a little bit polished. It’s perfect for summer, sun holidays, or when you just want to brighten your mood. Even better? It’s beginner-friendly. You can start with one nail, one fruit, and build your way up.
