Guava Nails Are Dominating Our Summer Manicure Appointments—Here's How to Wear Them
I'm parking my milky manicure and opting for bright guava nails instead this summer.


Just when you thought nail trends got boring and the reign of neutral nails and Funny Bunny nails might stretch endlessly into summer, a new contender has arrived on the scene, and it’s refreshingly vibrant. Enter: guava nails.
Equal parts tropical and tasteful, the nail trend takes its cues from sun-drenched fruit and sunset cocktails, offering a punchy, pink-coral hybrid that feels as fresh as a freshly-sliced guava. And while I'm all for a minimalist milky manicure, I'm so here to opt for something a little brighter to see me through the rest of summer. And according to my social feeds right now (and every manicurist I speak to), guava nails are proving the dominating summer nail trend for 2025.
What Are Guava Nails?
A juicy, sun-drenched take on classic pink nails, guava nails are a juicy shade that strikes a balance between playful and polished—think somewhere between a soft coral sorbet and a slice of watermelon. Whether you opt for a more subtle coral hue or go full vibrant pink, it's a sure-fire way to make your manicure instantly more summery and joyful.
