7 Fruity Nail Ideas (With A K-Beauty Twist) To Try This Summer

Summer is in full swing in Seoul, and the heat and humidity feel like they’re at an all-time high. Rather than fight it, I’ve decided to pare down my beauty routine and focus on the only part that’s 100% weatherproof: My nails. 

Just ahead of my next appointment, I’ve been looking to my fellow subway commuters and their freshly painted tips for some inspiration, which is how I noticed that fruit motifs are everywhere. Think: Crisp watermelon slices, sparkly strawberries, and 3-D peaches that almost look good enough to eat. Whether you’re into more whimsical designs or crave a more minimal take on the trend, there’s a juicy fruit nail set for everyone. Peruse the seven examples below and get ready for your most delicious manicure yet.
