Fruit Peel Manicure - Korea's hottest 2025 trend that blew up Instagram and will win over even the masters - summer's juiciest ideas

- Fruit-themed manicures have been around for a while now, but the ‘fruit peel’ trend is a whole new level of realism that you can't look away from and want to taste right away.

- Nails in this style are amazing at capturing the delicate and soft texture of fruits such as peaches, grapes, watermelon, apples and figs, creating a real fruit peel effect.

Although it's still only June, it's safe to say that fruit-themed manicures are one of this summer's biggest trends. From juicy pink and green shades of watermelon to delicate muted pinks of guava, the choice of fresh and expressive nail designs is impressively diverse.

The newest variation of this trend is a hyper-realistic yet understated design that mimics the peel of fruits such as peaches and apples. And, unsurprisingly, this style comes from the beauty and manicure capital of South Korea.

In this article you'll find everything you need to know about the trend, tips on how to try it, and inspiring photo examples to show your master.

Fruit Peel Nails trend

Nails with a fruit peel effect are exactly what you expect: a design that imitates natural fruit peel. This manicure can resemble grapes - both red and green, juicy watermelon, fresh apples, tender peaches or fragrant figs. Any fruit is suitable, the main thing is to convey the complex shades and multi-layered structure of its soft, multicoloured skin, creating a truly lively and unusual image.

The main difference between these fruit designs is that they are as realistic as possible, as you can see in the examples above and below.

Grape nails

Do you prefer red or green grapes? Have you ever tried them frozen? Be sure to try it - it's delicious and refreshing! And another tip: pay attention to the manicure in the exact shades of red and green grapes. The master picked the perfect lacquers that make the nail design unusual and stylish!

Apple nails

There is a huge variety of apple varieties, and manicures inspired by their colouring can be very different too. This design creates a stunning gradient that can easily be made more delicate pink or deep red - it all depends on your personal preference.

Blue nails

For a more mysterious look, choose nails in rich berry-blue shades that combine deep blue and purple tones. Unlike last summer's berry and milk manicure, this design features a more glossy and translucent finish that gives the look a subtle understatement and mystery.
