June has arrived, and the delicious trend of fruit-inspired nails continues to dominate social media feeds, with searches for ‘summer fruit nails’ up by +249% according to The 2025 Pinterest Summer Trend Report. Summer is just made for strawberries and cream, so it’s no wonder the berry-beautiful nail look is the must-have manicure of the season.

We have curated the perfect shades to help nail enthusiasts get the strawberry & cream nail look at home, with recommendations from our nail expert, Lynn Mason.

“The strawberry and cream look is having such a moment because it perfectly captures that effortlessly fun, summer vibe everyone’s after,” explains Lynn Mason. “It’s sophisticated enough for any occasion, yet playful enough to make you smile every time you look at your hands.”

Lynn Mason recommends the following shades to get the look:

Mavala Base Coat 002 – For protection and longevity – “To start, add Mavala’s Base Coat 002, to keep nails from becoming stained from chemicals, dyes in nail polish, and other external factors, always protect the nail plate with Mavala 002 double action base.”

“Ottawa” – The Base – “This is your perfect strawberries and cream canvas,” says Mason. “Ottawa gives that delicate, creamy, pink backdrop that makes the strawberry details really pop. It’s sophisticated enough for any setting but still gives that summery feel.”

“London” – The Berry Heart – “London is the perfect strawberry red – not too bright, not too dark,” explains Mason. “It has this beautiful depth that looks exactly like a ripe strawberry. When you paint small berry shapes with this shade, it instantly reads as delicious and natural.”

“Copenhagen” – The Fresh Leaves- “Copenhagen gives those perfect strawberry leaves,” notes Mason. “It’s a rich forest green that adds that fresh-picked garden feel. Just a few small leaf shapes at the base of your strawberries and suddenly the whole look comes alive.”

“Geneve” – The Creamy Details – “Geneve is what makes this look so detailed,” reveals Mason. “Use it for the tiny strawberry seeds – it has this soft, creamy quality that blends beautifully with the natural base.”

Mavala Gel Finish Topcoat – For that glossy, professional finish – “For a perfect finish, apply Mavala’s ‘Gel Finish Top Coat’. This top coat provides a stunning, high-gloss shine, giving your nails a clean, healthy appearance and the look of a professional manicure.”

“What makes this combination so perfect is how the colours complement each other, just like real strawberries and cream,” explains Mason. “The creamy, delicate, base is a smooth pink. That bridge beautifully with the London red, while Copenhagen adds that fresh contrast. Geneve ties it all together with its creamy finish. With Mavala’s vegan formula quality, the polishes have a long-lasting hold and shine.”
