8. Refreshing Fruit Salad

This beautiful and vibrant nail design will help you to carry the cool flavour of a summer fruit salad right to your fingers. This manicure honours the abundance of the season by including a range of tiny fruits on every nail, therefore producing a lively and pleasing appearance ideal for sunny days. To symbolise the "bowl" of your fruit salad, start all nails with a transparent or pale pink base coat. Then paint small fruits on every nail using a thin brush and a range of colours. Add slices of watermelon, strawberries, kiwi rounds, blueberries, and orange bits. The secret to making this design authentic is in the details; add seeds to your strawberries, tiny black dots for kiwi seeds, and a white shine spot on every blueberry for a juicy appearance. Use a dotting tool to apply highlights and shadows to every fruit in order to add depth and give your fruit salad more three-dimensional appeal. Your fruits will seem more rounded and natural with this approach. Some of the fruits would benefit from little green leaf highlights for a bit of whimsical flair. Using clear nail polish or little crystals, add a few "water droplets" to accentuate the fresh theme and create the sense of newly washed fruit. This design not only looks really nice but it reminds me constantly of the mouthwatering and refreshing nature of summer fruits. A high-gloss top coat will seal your fruity masterpiece and provide it the fresh, just-served look that will have everyone yearning a nutritious snack.
