10 of the Most Gorgeous Strawberry Milk Nail Ideas for a Soft, Sweet Manicure
Just like hot cocoa, lattes, or even an iced chai, this trend brings that soft, delicate vibe we crave for our nails. It's essentially a variation of the classic milky mani, but with a gentle, blush-toned twist that elevates your nails to a whole new level of chic.
Whether it's a creamy finish with a touch of pink or a barely-there blush, strawberry milk nails are all about effortless elegance. Plus, who can forget the viral blueberry milk nails trend that made waves across social media?
If you're looking to add a little sweet softness to your nails, here are 10 stunning strawberry milk nail ideas to inspire your next mani.
Strawberry Glazed Donut
Take your strawberry milk mani up a notch by adding a stunning chrome finish. The strawberry glazed donut effect is created with shifty aurora chrome powder, offering a jaw-dropping shine that's as sweet as it is stylish.
The Simple Life
Sometimes, less is more. A couple of coats of strawberry milk polish, sealed with a glossy topcoat, will give you an effortlessly elegant look. Opt for a short, oval shape to enhance the simplicity of the design.
Chrombré Strawberry Milk
Why settle for one shade when you can have two? Take your strawberry glazed donut nails to the next level with an ombré effect. Simply add a bubblegum pink tip to your strawberry milk base, and top it off with some chrome powder for a dreamy finish.
Keep It Glassy
For a more sophisticated take, this version leans a bit pinker, a bit sheerer, and a touch glossier than the usual. The result is a cool, refined finish that looks impossibly chic.
Ribbons and Bows
Looking for something a bit more playful? Add metallic ribbons and bows to your strawberry milk manicure for a fun twist that mixes sweetness with a bit of edge.
Making the Gradient
Can't decide on just one shade of strawberry milk? Wear them all! Create a glossy gradient with a blend of pink hues for a fun, colorful mani that's both sweet and vibrant.
The Milky Way
If you like your strawberry milk nails with a softer edge, this is the style for you. A blush pink base topped with a sheer white polish gives you the gentlest touch of sweetness.
I Can Hear the Bells
For a bridal-inspired take, swap out the tips with a pearlescent white for a modern French manicure twist. It's a look that's perfect for engagements, weddings, or just adding a touch of romance to your style.
The Standard-Bearer
This one could very well be the ideal strawberry milk manicure: sheer, creamy, and glossy, with just the right balance of pink. It's a classic that deserves a permanent spot in your mani rotation.
Meet Your Matcha
Combine the best of both worlds with this strawberry matcha-inspired look. Bubblegum pink butterflies and matcha green stars come together in a whimsical yet sophisticated pastel mani. It's a quirky yet perfect combo!

Doja Cat announces new album ‘Vie' for September release
Doja Cat has officially announced that her fifth studio album, Vie, will be released on September 26. The Grammy-winning rapper and singer revealed the news in a short video posted to social media, where she posed in front of the Eiffel Tower and repeated the phrase 'Je sais que tu es ma vie,' French for 'I know you are my life.' The announcement comes after months of speculation. Doja Cat has been teasing Vie since October last year, recently confirming that the lead single, 'Jealous Type,' will arrive on August 21. She has already previewed the track with live performances at Outside Lands festival and an intimate set at Club Oasis. Her last full-length album, Scarlet, was released in September 2023 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. The record produced two major hits, 'Paint the Town Red' and 'Agora Hills,' which peaked at number one and number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. In support of Scarlet, she launched an international tour starting on Halloween night in San Francisco and wrapping up at London's Finsbury Park on July 14, 2024. Earlier this year, she dropped Scarlet 2 Claude, a deluxe edition featuring seven new tracks and collaborations with ASAP Rocky and Teezo Touchdown. Beyond music, Doja Cat made headlines for her performance at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival in New York City, where she used her platform to speak on global humanitarian crises, calling for unity and compassion. With Vie, Doja Cat has hinted at a shift in style. Speaking to Variety prior to Scarlet's release, she said she wanted to explore a 'more masculine' sound, moving away from the pop and glitter-heavy aesthetics of her earlier eras. Fans now have just over a month to wait before hearing what that new creative direction will sound like in full.

Halle Berry marks 59th birthday with subtle clap back at ex-husband David Justice's remarks
Halle Berry has responded to comments made by her ex-husband David Justice, who recently claimed she was not 'motherly' during their marriage in the 1990s. The Oscar-winning actress marked her 59th birthday with a series of holiday photographs on Instagram, accompanied by the caption: 'Phew...! cooking, cleaning and mothering.' The post was widely interpreted as a pointed reply to Justice's remarks. Justice, a former Major League Baseball player, discussed the couple's divorce on Matt Barnes' All The Smoke podcast. He explained that at the time he held traditional views of marriage, influenced by his upbringing in the Midwest. 'My knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast. So, I'm looking at my mum — and I'm a Midwest guy. So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, [be] traditional, you know?' He went on to suggest Berry did not fit that image. 'Then I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' At that time, as a young guy — she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues.' Berry and Justice met in 1992 and married the following year after Berry proposed. Their relationship ended in divorce in 1997. Berry later married singer Eric Benét in 2001, divorcing in 2005, and French actor Olivier Martinez in 2013, finalising their split in 2023 after years of legal proceedings.

Vatican gets socials-savvy
Sister Albertine, a youthful French Catholic nun, stood outside the Vatican, phone in hand, ready to shoot more videos for her hundreds of thousands of followers online. As per AFP, the 29-year-old nun, whose secular name is Albertine Debacker, is one of hundreds of Catholic influencers in Rome for a Vatican-organised social media summit this week. The Vatican calls them "digital missionaries" and - in an unprecedented move for the centuries-old institution - Pope Leo XIV led a mass dedicated to them at St Peter's Basilica, calling on them to create content for those who "need to know the Lord". Long wary of social media, the Catholic Church now sees it as a vital tool to spread the faith amid dwindling church attendance. For Sister Albertine, this is the ideal "missionary terrain". Inside the Baroque basilica, she was one of a swarm of religious influencers who surrounded the new pope, live streaming the meeting on their smartphones within one of Christianity's most sacred spots. She said it was highly symbolic that the Vatican organised the event bringing together its Instagramming-disciples. "It tells us: 'it's important, go for it, we're with you and we'll search together how we can take this new evangelisation forward," she told AFP. The influencer summit was held as part of the Vatican's "Jubilee of Youth", as young believers flooded Rome this week. 'The great influencer is God' Sister Albertine has 320,000 followers on Instagram and some of her TikTok videos get more than a million views. She shares a mix of prayers with episodes from daily religious life, often from French abbeys. "You feel alone and I suggest that we can pray together," she said in one video, crossing herself. But, as religious content spreads online in the social media and AI era, one of the reasons behind the Vatican's summit was for it to express its position on the trend. "You are not only influencers, you are missionaries," influential Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle - one of the few Vatican officials active on social media – told those attending mass. The "great influencer is God", he added. 'Not a digital programme' But Tagle also warned that "Jesus is not a voice generated by a digital programme". Pope Leo called on his online followers to strike a balance at a time when society is "hyperconnected" and "bombarded with images, sometimes false or distorted". "It is not simply a matter of generating content, but of creating an encounter between hearts," said the American pope, 69. It is this balance that has been hard to strike, with some Catholic clerics themselves embracing a social media presence. Father Giuseppe Fusari does not look like a regular priest: wearing tight shirts exposing his arm tattoos. To his 63,000 followers on Instagram, he mixes content about Italian church architecture and preaching. Fusari told AFP there is no reason Catholic clerics should not embrace the world of online videos. "Everyone uses social media, so it's important that we're there too," said Fusari, who came to Rome for the influencer event from the northern city of Brescia. Fusari said his goal was to reach as many people as possible online, sharing the "word of God" with them. This also takes the form of sharing videos of his chihuahua eating spaghetti. But priests and nuns are not the only ones trying to attract people to the Church online, with regular believers spreading the faith too. Francesca Parisi, a 31-year-old Italian teacher, joined the Catholic Church later in life. She now has some 20,000 followers on TikTok, where she tries to make the Catholic faith look trendy. Her target audience? People who have "drifted away" from the church. It's possible, she said, to lure them back through their smartphones. "If God did it with me, rest assured, he can also do it with you."
