This is exactly the look one woman from Hamburg, Germany, jumped on recently - but the final result has left hundreds of thousands horrified.
The artist behind the masterpiece, Tanja Gravina, regularly shares bizarre and unusual nail designs to her 18.6k followers on TikTok - and her latest work is no exception.
In the past, the hair, make-up and nail artist has created ''rotting nails'', a 3D spider design perfect for Halloween, ''swamp water aquarium'' nails and even a grim manicure with yellow gnashers.
Keeping up with the shocking designs, Tanja also recently left social media users with their jaws on the floor with her latest piece - ''cute strawberry summer nails''.
Much like the rest of her pieces, this unconventional mani is in 3D, with deep 'pores' for the seeds and texture - enough to make many feel ''ill''.
Tanja, whose unusual work has won her a whopping 2million likes on the platform, also opted to ditch the signature juicy red colour we usually associate the berry with.
Instead, the young woman went for a paler look - which she described as ''slightly bloody''.
Showing off the shocking pointy nails from all angles, Tanja wrote in the caption: ''Aren't they just so summery and dainty?''
'What in the jeepers creepers is this?!?!'
It's not the first time Tanja has left people horrified with her unusual designs - and this work is no exception.
As more than 10,000 viewers gave the video a like, over 2,000 flooded to comments in sheer horror.
One terrified TikToker said: ''You say strawberry I see Freddy Krueger.''
Another wrote: ''I think we have a different definition of cute.''
''This made me feel ill,' someone else chimed in.
''Been checking your account and you make the most disgusting nails I've ever seen. Be proud of yourself,'' a fan praised the young woman.
''What in the jeepers creepers is this?!?!'' a horrified viewer wanted to know.
What age can you take kid to get their nails done?
MUMS have sparked controversy after allowing their kids to get acrylic nails. But just how old do they have to be to be allowed to get them done legally.
According to the National Occupational Standards, anyone under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by an adult.
They also need written consent from a parents or guardian.
It's also a good idea to check that the salon you're planning to go to - just to ask if they offer services to children.
Pickle-inspired nails

We previously reported on another bizarre nail trend that was all the rage in LA last year - pickle-inspired toes that look like you have fungus on your feet.
Yes, that's right - a 3D nail art depicting crunchy pickles and even a jar of the cult favourite cupboard staple painted on your nails.
Whilst many of us are choosing an ombré design or opting for more vibrant colours, the music producer Benny Blanco left social media users totally horrified with his pickle toes.
The 37-year-old, who's dating the American singer and actress Selena Gomez, 32, is reported to have even asked the nail tech to paint the girlfriend's favourite pickle brand too, Yahoo! said earlier.
Benny, real name Benjamin Joseph Levin, proudly showed off his new pedicure in an Instagram post from nail technician @nailedbytav.
The star, who began dating Selena midway through 2023, shared close-up snaps of his pickle feet via Instagram Stories.
Both of his big toes included the logo of Selena's favorite pickle brand — Best Maid Pickles - whilst the rest of the toes included intricate and realistic nail art to resemble pickles.

Noel Gallagher praises 'amazing' Liam for Oasis reunion tour
Noel Gallagher has said he is "proud" of his brother Liam after the pair reunited for this summer's Oasis Live '25 tour. The highly anticipated reunion was announced in August last year, after the brothers seemingly put the feud which led to their split in 2009 behind them. At the time, Noel said he "simply could not go on working with Liam", but having just completed the UK-leg of their comeback tour, he has nothing but praise for his younger sibling. "Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him," Noel told talkSport in his first interview since the tour began. "I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think 'good for you, mate'. He's been amazing. "It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again." 1:11 When asked if he has felt emotional during the tour, Noel added: "I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was." He went on to say he was "completely blown away" after the band's opening night in Cardiff, and "grossly underestimated" what he was getting himself into when first signing up for the shows. He said: "It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, 'all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' "I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song." "Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean?" he continued. "So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it." Having played to packed crowds in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Dublin and Edinburgh, Oasis have scheduled dates around the world including in major cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. It's rumoured the band will continue their run of shows next year, when it marks 30 years since they played two sell-out nights at Knebworth Park to an estimated 250,000 people. When quizzed on the rumours on talkSport, Noel quickly changed the subject, saying: "Right, let's talk about football."

Photo of Elle Macpherson confirms long-standing rumour about the model
A recent photo of Elle Macpherson has confirmed a long-standing rumour about the model's hair. The 61-year-old posted a series of holiday snaps to Instagram on Tuesday and one image appears to confirm that Elle wears hair extensions to add volume to her locks. The photo shows Elle walking through a European city in a brown shirt and matching skirt. She had her long blonde locks tied into a messy bun but as she looked down, one of her hair extension bonds was visible. The clip-in extension was noticeable on the top of her head as she pulled her locks back. Hollywood stars and models often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance as hair thins and loses volume with age. Elle is renowned for her radiant, luscious locks and youthful complexion. She previously revealed how she protects her hair when she's not working with the best in the beauty business. From ditching the hot tools to protecting her locks from the harsh sun, Elle shared her top five tips for optimal health hair on her Get The Gloss column. She said she is a big believer that eating well and having a healthy gut plays a crucial role in keeping hair thick and luscious. 'The gut plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption,' she said. 'The combination of botanical herbs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics that feature in The Super Elixir™ and The Hair Elixir [from WelleCo] will keep your gut microbiome, and in turn your hair, healthy.' Elle also explained it's best to put the hot tools down and keep hair natural as much as possible. Elle also said it's important to protect hair from the sun and believes this is key to keeping her hair silky and healthy. When she is out in the sun and the sea, she uses hydrating and protecting masks. In colder climates, the supermodel wears her hair in braids with a leave-in mask to ensure UV protection and hydration. And one of Elle's biggest tips for healthier hair is a well-looked-after scalp. She likes to give herself a gentle scalp massage with a natural oil like coconut, almond, or jojoba to improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.

Yes, chinos are cooler than you think — here's how to wear them
Here's a sentence I never thought I would write. Chinos are cool. So cool that we can't even call them cool. Because the word cool isn't actually cool any more. I know. All of the above is confusing. Especially for someone like me, who has made avoiding chinos — not just the wearing of them myself, but any romantic involvement with a man wearing them — a plank of my very existence. That's right, while Richard Dawkins has busied himself over the decades taking down religion, my focus has been on disavowing a certain type of trouser. It's probably beige or khaki, probably cotton twill, probably worn with a rugby shirt (crime number two), and absolutely not probably — 100 per cent definitely, in fact — an offence against style.
