7 Fruity Nail Ideas (With A K-Beauty Twist) To Brighten Your Day
Just ahead of my next nail appointment, I've been looking to my fellow subway commuters and their freshly painted tips for some inspiration, which is how I noticed that fruit motifs are everywhere. Think crisp watermelon slices, sparkly strawberries, and 3D peaches that almost look good enough to eat. Whether you're into whimsical designs or crave a more minimal take on the trend, there's a juicy fruit nail set for everyone. Peruse the seven examples below and get ready for your most delicious manicure yet.

For a twist on the classic red mani, we love this crimson gradient with slices of golden yellow. The understated effect mimics the texture of an apple peel, without being too fruit-forward.
Fruit Salad

If 3D glitter strawberries aren't your jam (pun intended), try a slightly less flashy — but no less fun — take with a daintier 3D fruit for a party on your nails. If you want to level up, mix and match your tips to include some solid colours and softer gradients among your fruit accent nails.
Fruit Marbling

Figs, grapes, peaches, and plums: There's so much beauty right on the surface of these fruits, which is captured brilliantly in these artistic designs. Through a masterful combination of marbling techniques and meticulous speckling, these subtle nuances make for a truly unique mani moment.

Watermelons offer a refreshing break from traditional winter muted manicures. In a sea of standard watermelon slices and rind-striped designs, this abstract rendering offers a refreshing alternative.

Chloé Hayden Wants A World Where Women Aren't Told They're ‘Too Much'
Heartbreak High star Chloé Hayden is unapologetically herself. She's open about how neurodivergence makes her "different, not less", and is a fierce advocate for disability rights in Australia. However, the world wasn't always a safe space for the author when she was growing up. After being told off by "almost every teacher" at school, being given detention for "correcting teachers on misinformation", being called "dramatic and difficult" when classroom lights were overwhelming, Hayden began to "shrink" herself to fit a mould. "Grown-ups would often express concern to my parents about me not fitting in with other kids, about being too sensitive for my age, about being too different. That same sentiment was echoed by the kids around me; all considering me to be too much, too weird, too different," she tells Refinery29 Australia. "These experiences led me to mask, trying desperately to fit into a mould that was never meant for me. For years after that, I tried to shrink myself, but you can only silence your sparkle for so long." Hayden is now partnering with LEGO Australia on the She Built That initiative, and is acting as a mentor for three young Aussie girls challenging the status quo and building a more inclusive future. "In Australia, women are marginalised and undermined in almost every aspect you can think of; and young girls are not immune to that — they see it, they hear it, they soak it in. It is so far beyond time now that we rewrite the narrative, and that young girls soak in that they can do anything they put their minds to," Hayden says. ' It is so far beyond time now that we rewrite the narrative, and that young girls soak in that they can do anything they put their minds to. ' The actor is nominated for a Silver Logie for Best Supporting Actress this year, after portraying Quinni in Heartbreak High for a second season. Her success in the Australian media industry has meant a great deal to those in the disabled community, especially with the historical lack of representation. "Growing up, I never saw people like me on screen, and it made me feel like I wasn't supposed to be here. Being nominated for a Logie is proof that disabled people do belong in this industry," she says. "I hope there's a little girl that's just like little Chloé, and I hope a spark goes off in her brain that makes her say, 'Huh, if she can do that, I bet I can, too!'" So, aside from representation in Australian media, how can we encourage girls and young women to embrace what makes them unique? Hayden believes it comes down to viewing differences as "strengths" rather than "deficits". "This involves educating ourselves and others about neurodiversity, promoting inclusive environments, and challenging stereotypes. By celebrating individuality and encouraging self-expression, we can create a society where everyone feels valued and understood," she tells R29. "It so deeply saddens me to think about the sheer amount of young women and neurodivergent girls who were not given an opportunity for greatness because of a society that condemns difference." Parents of daughters, teachers, and community leaders have a role to play, too. Young girls can be impressionable, and it's important to be aware of what messages you're putting out to the world. Hayden says girls need to learn their voices are important, especially if they aren't following a traditional path. "By fostering confidence and resilience, you're empowering them to make a difference in the world," she adds. "Kids are so much more intelligent in every way than we give them credit for. God, I want a 10-year-old girl for Prime Minister." It's clear Hayden is passionate about her latest partnership, because she wants a world where all women have the freedom to be themselves. "When we force people into narrow boxes of what's 'normal' or 'acceptable', we risk losing the richness of diverse perspectives. And often, diversity is where greatness stems from. No one ever made greatness happen by being like everyone else," she says. "She Built That is a platform for girls, that tells them they can be themselves wholly from day one, and that they don't need to change at all. That's a world I want to live in."
