There’s just something about a trip to the farmers market in the middle of summer. From fresh produce to some seriously cute photo op moments, farmer’s markets help us romanticize our HGWs. Flowers, fresh fruit…what more could a girl want? Besides some trendy nails to match, of course.
Our usual nail trendsetter, Hailey Bieber, has done it again, turning the magic of a summer picnic into a signature manicure. “Farmers market nails,” or picnic nails, include small designs of different fruits and vegetables with simple bases and gingham patterns. This trend is fresh and minimal—almost like a toned-down spin on last year’s “tomato girl” trend. No matter your style or color preference, there are so many adaptable designs for you to choose your favs. Here are 10 picnic nail ideas to help you match the trend, plus some tools to achieve the look at home.
1. Farmer’s Market Nails
Hailey Bieber ruffled the internet again when she posted her new picnic nails, which sport different veggies and produce you might find at your local market. With the clear base, the small designs are subtle yet still the star of the show.
2. Simple Cherries
If you want to achieve this trend but keep things a bit more simple, try out a spotlight nail with a small design on it, like these little cherries. We love that you can mix this look with a few French nails for a more classic take on picnic nails.
3. Blue Gingham
Nothing screams picnic quite like the checkered picnic blanket, and these blue gingham picnic nails are giving exactly that. Matched with some intricate cherries, these nails are more eye-catching, taking the trend to the next level.
4. Orange Picnic Nails
These little orange designs are adorable if you want a citrus take on the picnic nails trend. We are obsessed with the sleek and minimal look, and the bright colors give that little extra hint of fun.
5. Pink Gingham with Bows
Add a little coquette moment to your nails with these pink designs! Paired with small fruits and gingham, they are great for wherever your summer adventures may take you.
6. Strawberry Shortcake Picnic Nails
For all my girlies who grew up on Strawberry Shortcake, this is for you. These red gingham designs mixed with little strawberries and flowers are the epitome of summer and are perfect for anyone looking for a seriously cute nail design.
7. Gingham and Ants
If you’re searching for picnic nails that stand out, look no further. These gingham French tips on their own are amazing, but with the addition of some little black ants? So cool. These are a slightly edgier take on the classic picnic nail look.
8. Strawberry Matcha Picnic Nails
We love this matcha green color as a base underneath little strawberries. Plus, we’re always looking at the fruit at a farmer’s market anyways. Who doesn’t love a carton of fresh strawberries?
9. Watermelons
Since we’re deep-diving into fruits here, we can’t leave out watermelon! This design uses the curve of the cuticle to form the shape, and is great for anyone with shorter nails, since the design is on the inside.
10. Fruit Salad Picnic Nails
If you’re not super into putting a little design of corn or carrots on your nails like Hailey Bieber did (fair enough), you can lean fruitier with these fruit salad picnic nails. With little peaches, kiwis, and blueberries, this is one of those designs that feels truly summery.
