Eyeshadows and lipsticks aren't the only options. Playing with nail polishes and brushes can be just as effective a way to express our personality. Especially in summer, decorating nails with bright colors and special designs can add a fun twist to our outfits and even bring some positive vibes to our mood, even if holidays are still far away. So, while spring nail art may seem to follow the less is more philosophy, preferring classic, unfussy looks like French manicure, red, or nude, from June to September nails rediscover the taste for color, the love for nature, and food. How? Thanks to Tutti Frutti manicures. If we're minimalists, we should opt for a single fruit look, for example, dedicated to oranges, while if we want to unleash our imagination and feast on vitamins, it's better to prepare a fruit salad, with one fruit or a variety of fruits for each nail. Here are some Tutti Frutti manicure ideas for summer (and to feast our eyes on lots of colorful inspirations).
Strawberries and Cherries
There's a reason why strawberries and cherries are the ultimate trendy fruits, stars not only in nail art but also in clothing, accessories, and home decor. Their color evokes summer, brightens up any outfit, reminds us of the sweetness of life and the warm season, and brings joy. Plus, they're the quintessential coquette fruits.
Citrus Fruits
We look at lemons and oranges and already feel transported to Sicily or Greece. Even though they're winter fruits, it's impossible to resist the charm of citrus fruits all year round. And if we match our citrusy nails with perfumes with similar notes, we're all in for the total look.
Watermelons, Kiwis, Pineapples, and Avocados
There's no shortage of inspirations, and we could spend hours and hours looking at them, dreaming of vacations. Especially if we're planning a slightly exotic vacation, matching our nails to our destination could be a fun idea, a little joke with ourselves. So let's go for some exotic fruits like kiwis, pineapples, and even avocados, which go from our beloved toast to our fingers, with their super trendy green, like matcha green.
Fruit Salad
Choosing is hard. Almost impossible. So we might as well go for mix and match, picking different fruits and putting them on our nails all together, let the abundance flow. What's more foodcore than that?
Tomatoes and Chili Peppers
Let's embrace our Italianità (and our tomato girliness) and our superstition: let's fill our hands with chili peppers and tomatoes, reminiscent of Mediterranean inspirations and wonderful terraces by the sea.

Before unleashing our creativity, let's prepare our hands accordingly. Let's wash them thoroughly, hydrate them with light creams, treat and soften the cuticles with a nourishing oil, shape our nails as desired, and apply a good strengthening base, preferably transparent. The last step? Make sure we have everything we need: brushes, colored nail polishes, something to remove them, and if we're not feeling so confident in our painting abilities, nail stickers shaped like little fruits.
