Looking for a manicure that is both timeless and timely ? These pink strawberry nails offer a flattering pastel pop to your nails, whilst remaining infinitely wearable...
It's that time of year again when light and creamy shades top the list of 2024 nail trends and while we've already seen the likes of 'Shell' nails and the understated 'Bubble Bath' manicure take hold for spring, there's a new, slightly pinkier hue vying for our attention. Inspired by the iconic milky-pink shade of strawberry ice cream and, of course, milkshakes, the Pink Strawberry nail trend is set to be a staple look this spring-to-summer season - offering both subtlety and an elegant, rosy gleam to your talons.
So, if you're looking for the perfect transitional nail style to see you through to the end of spring and start of summer or just for a chic look to trial, here's how to recreate this berry-inspired mani...
What is the pink strawberry nail trend?
Also coined 'Strawberry Milk Nails', this trend is effectively a pastel pink nail look with a cute name. It takes inspiration from the pale-pink innards of the red berry, or the classic pastel hue of strawberry milkshakes and the like.
Just imagine a tub of strawberry ice-cream but with a glossy shine and you've pretty much got the gist.
It's subtle, a welcome alternative to other pink nail designs for minimalist nail lovers and suits all nail shapes and lengths.
Not only that, but the nail look can also be on the sheer side, offering more of a strawberry tint than a bright pastel pop. It can also be applied to a French tip nail look and is already celebrity-approved - with the likes of Victoria Beckham debuting a pale pink mani for her 50th birthday bash.
