    Fruit water nails are the minimalist nail trend set to dominate summer 2025. The look features a sheer polish in fruity shades. Minimalism is at the core of many of 2025's biggest nail trends.

If you view your nails as an extension of your accessories, this glitzy set is the equivalent of a statement necklace or sparkly bracelet stack. The mismatched design is done exceptionally well and each individual nail looks like art.
