What Are Strawberry Matcha Nails?

Strawberry matcha nails are essentially a sweeter (and pinker) take on the classic matcha-inpsired mani. Featuring pastel shades of pink and green – sometimes earthier greens for a proper matcha hit – as well as strawberry motifs, the manicure takes spring’s new favourite drink and condenses it into a pretty nail set. Think latte art, but for your hands.

And the trend is kicking off on TikTok right now, with creators showing nails decorated in milky swirls of pink and green amid teeny tiny strawberries, flowers and metallic details.

How To Ask Your Nail Tech For Strawberry Matcha Nails

Do your research ahead of your appointment. There are hundreds of variations on strawberry matcha nails, so it’s better to go into your appointment with an idea of which style you’d like to try. Save a few inspo images from Instagram – or even some videos from TikTok – and make sure to talk through your vision with your nail tech.
