In Manicure News: Tropical Fruit… Nails

This summer, your nails might be looking… snackable?

A new trend is sweeping nail salons (and search queries): fruit-inspired nail colors. From cherry red to kiwi green, these juicy shades are turning fingertips into miniature fruit bowls. It’s fun, it’s fresh… and according to a new Google Trends map, every state has a fruity favorite.

Topping the list is cherry red, the go-to color in nearly half the country. It’s bold, and clearly the queen of the nail polish aisle.

A slightly softer watermelon shade takes over much of the South, while the pinker strawberry is the top pick in Ohio and Georgia.

Peach rules in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana, and Massachusetts.

In sunnier palettes, pineapple yellow stands out in New York, Florida, Louisiana, and Wyoming. A lighter lemon tone leads in Michigan, Colorado, Tennessee, Hawaii, and Delaware.

Heading north, greens take over. Dark lime is hot in Maine, Minnesota, and North Carolina, while a more mellow kiwi tone is popular in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Dakota.

And then there’s Nebraska, the one and only state to go blue with its top pick: blueberry.

The fruit-nail craze fits right in with other seasonal beauty trends, including sheer jelly finishes, “fruit water” manicures, and translucent colors that give off the look of hard candy or stained glass. The overall vibe? Playful, low-key nostalgic, and good enough to eat (though please don’t).
