While avocado is regarded as a tasty superfood which packs numerous health benefits, it looks like the gorgeous green fruit is now inspiring the latest manicure trend. For Summer 2016, avocado inspired nail art is officially making a splash in the beauty world.

On Instagram, manicure maniacs are swapping their solid tips for eye-catching green and white designs which bring the delicious berry to mind. While some beauty lovers are showcasing avocado motifs on long, elegant talons, others are choosing to keep their nails short and playful. From white base coats to pale pinks, avocado prints are making their way onto all manner of fingernails.

As for the avocado trend, it is being interpreted in a variety of ways. Some examples of this rising nail art fad feature literal miniature avocados dotting the fingertips, while others involve a single statement nail. Meanwhile, bold green geometric patterns and pastel green nail colours which are reminiscent of the Mexican fruit can also be spotted.

If you’re craving guacamole this summer but would rather avoid the extra calories, avocado nails just may be your new best friend! Here’s a closer look at this emerging manicure trend now.
