Strawberry Milkshake Nails: The New Summer Manicure Trend
Strawberry milkshake nails, inspired by the soft pale pink of the classic soda fountain treat, have emerged as a leading summer nail trend. The look balances baby-pink pastel with milky white polish and can be enhanced with metallic, cat-eye, chrome, or jelly finishes. Celebrities including Aja Naomi King, Laura Dern, and Bella Hadid wore light-pink manis at the Cannes Film Festival. Victoria Beckham and her daughter Harper coordinated sugary pink manicures for David Beckham's Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony. Selena Gomez regularly chooses the shade with nail artist Tom Bachik. Vogue recommends polishes such as Nail Veil Enhancing Nail Care in Sheer Cherry Blossom Pink, OPI Nail Lacquer in Mod About You, Essie Nail Polish in Muchi Muchi, Gelish Miracle Gel Nail Polish in Blush Crush, Sally Hansen Quick Dry Nail Polish in Milky Pink, L'Oxygéné Oxygenated Nail Lacquer in Rose Blossom, China Glaze Wild Shine Nail Color in Tickled Pink, and CND Nail Polish in Wink Wink.
