10 of the Most Gorgeous Strawberry Milk Nail Ideas for a Soft, Sweet Manicure
Manicures inspired by beverages always bring out the cutest, most creative designs, and the strawberry milk manicure is no exception.
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!

Princess Diana's pricey dresses head to auction
Diana's wedding dress from 1981 is also up for auction. Photo: Reuters From colourful frocks and hats to handbags and shoes, items belonging to the late Princess Diana go under the hammer this month in what Julien's Auctions says is the largest collection of her fashion to go to auction, reported Reuters. The live and online "Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection" sale will take place on June 26 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, offering an array of fashion items Diana wore. "This is the largest Princess Diana auction because we have over 100 items from her amazing life and career — keeping in mind Diana herself — sold over 70 of her dresses — back in 1997 to raise money for her charity," Martin Nolan, executive director and co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told Reuters on Monday. He was speaking at the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge in Ireland during a pre-sale exhibition. Among the highlights is a 1988 silk floral dress by Bellville Sassoon, dubbed the "caring dress" because Diana wore it several times on hospital visits, with a price estimate of $200,000-$300,000. A cream silk embroidered evening gown Catherine Walker designed for Diana's 1986 Gulf tour has a similar price tag, while a Bruce Oldfield two-piece yellow floral ensemble she wore for Royal Ascot in 1987 is estimated at $100,000-$200,000. Other sale items include a Dior handbag gifted to her by former French first lady Bernadette Chirac in 1995, a sketch of Diana's 1981 wedding dress with tulle fabric cut-offs from when she married then Prince Charles in 1981 and a peach hat she wore for her honeymoon send-off. As per the Daily Mail, the collection will also feature a Murray Arbeid midnight blue tulle strapless gown that Diana wore twice in 1986 — to the Phantom Of The Opera premiere and to a dinner with King Constantine of Greece — and to a Royal Opera House performance of Cinderella in 1987, which has a top estimate of $400,000 (£315,000). Additionally, the auction includes pieces belonging to other British royals including the late Queen Elizabeth II and the queen mother. Nolan said Julien's Auctions had previously sold a dress belonging to Diana for $1.14 million. "People do consider these items as an asset class now, because if people own these items today, chances are in years to come they will sell them for more than what they pay for (at) auction," he said. Part of the proceeds from the sale of Diana's items will go to charity Muscular Dystrophy UK. The pre-sale exhibition in Newbridge will run until June 17.

First ever Birkin bag heads to auction at Sotheby's
The value of the prototype has not been disclosed. Photo: AFP The first-ever Birkin bag that was designed by French luxury brand Hermes for actress Jane Birkin is set to be sold at auction in Paris, with the piece of modern fashion history likely to spark a bidding frenzy. The Birkin has become a modern design icon that is so exclusive that Hermes only offers it to loyal clients, with prices starting at around $10,000. Auction house Sotheby's, which is handling the sale of the Birkin prototype in Paris on July 10, declined to specify a reserve price publicly and its value is hard to forecast. "The Original Birkin holds the potential to redefine records," Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's global handbag and fashion head, said in a statement. The previous record sale price for a handbag at auction was set by a highly customised Birkin in Hong Kong in 2017. The diamond-encrusted crocodile-skin Birkin 30 with white gold details fetched $510,000 at Christie's. The seller of the original Birkin is well-known Paris-based handbag collector and dealer Catherine Benier whose appointment-only boutique in the high-end 6th district of the capital has a cult following. Benier told The New York Times that the bag was the "jewel in my collection". It has changed hands twice since being put up for sale by Birkin at an auction in 1994 where the proceeds went to an AIDS charity, Sotheby's said. The birth of the Birkin bag has become a modern fashion legend. During a Paris-London flight, the singer and actress — who died in 2023 — complained to a fellow traveller about not being able to find a bag suited to her needs as a young mother. That fellow passenger happened to be Jean-Louis Dumas, then head of Hermes. The result of their conversation was a spacious tote with room for baby bottles, created in 1984 and named the Birkin. It is engraved with the initials JB and has several unique features, Sotheby's said, including closed metal rings, a non-detachable shoulder strap and a built-in nail clipper. Its condition "reflects the many years of use by the actress and singer," Sotheby's said. The prototype Birkin will be exhibited at Sotheby's in New York from June 6 to 12 before being put on show in the French capital before the sale. In addition to the Birkin bag, the Sotheby's "Fashion Icons" sale will feature runway pieces from designers including Christian Dior, John Galliano, Thierry Mugler and Alexander McQueen. Bidding will open online on June 26 and close on July 10.
