Just when you think the beauty sphere has moved past food-inspired beauty trends, a new contender emerges. Behold: fruit skin nails. Much like its predecessors which includes glazed donut skin and cinnamon cookie butter hair, the crux of the look is easily discerned from its name itself. That is, a form of nail art that resembles the outer layer of a ripe, juicy piece of fruit.

If there’s something the beauty sphere proves capable of, it is innovation with the goal of meeting a hyper-specific need. We’ve seen it all the last couple of years—the amalgamating of two completely separate categories to form an all-new beast of its own, or even the warping of tried-and-tested formulas to create newfangled textures. And while the results and success rate may vary, there’s no denying that stellar creations have been borne from such a process.

We call it like we see it—in 2025, the notion of a man sporting a full set of painted, embellished digits is far from brow-raising. In fact if we are to get pedantic about it, male celebrity manicures have been a mainstay amongst a specific subset since the ‘70s. See: rock and roll icons in the vein of David Bowie and Kurt Cobain, as well as notable figures within the pop-punk space such as Pete Wentz and Gerard Way.

More than just a fragrance, but rather, a sensation. These are the words that come to mind upon experiencing the LIBRE L’eau Nue for the first time; a distinct moment in time that plays out within one of the many villas located on the sprawling grounds of Anantara Desaru Coast. In a generously air-conditioned room, I lift the blotter to my nose and am enveloped instantly in a pleasant wave of heat. Succulent green mandarin and bergamot comes through first, bringing with it a jolt of vibrancy.

Much like French manicures, press-on nails have accrued a maligned reputation over the last couple of years. All things considered, its infamy is not entirely unfounded—the iterations of old often utilised second-rate adhesives and were prone to popping off at the slightest provocation. What’s more, there was less of a bespoke element involved, with nail corporations limiting press-on options to colours only. Thankfully, that is far from the case in 2025.
