Food nail designs have become really popular these days, and if you are getting tired of wearing the usual nail polish, then you want to try out some food nail art that will surely give your nails something unique to flaunt around with. Several food designs are available, like fruits, vegetables, bread, cakes, and candies. There are also tons of ideas for what to include in your food nails, whether you want to go with a classic, like a strawberry and cream design or make a sandwich or pizza slices on your nails or paint some french fries.

How to Choose the Best Colors for Food Nails
When you're choosing colors for food nail designs, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a bright, cheerful color. But what about when you want something more subtle? Or even something moody? Many different colors, textures, and patterns can be combined to create an excellent food nail design. The best way to choose the right combination of colors is to look at the actual food you want to imitate and choose colors that correspond with that color scheme. Another thing you should consider when choosing your colors for food nails is the texture of the food. Also, decide whether you want your nail design to match or complement the food. If you want a complementary color scheme, use these types of colors. If you're going to match a specific color of food, choose the same shade of that color in your nail polish.
Here are some of the most popular color combinations for food nail designs:
- Red and white (A classic combination for diners or fast food restaurants) • Green and brown (For natural foods like vegetables, herbs, and grains) - Yellow and orange (For citrus fruits or other brightly colored foods) • Pink and white (For desserts or other sweet treats) - Black and white (For sushi rolls to black and white cookies)
- Purple and green (For fruits and vegetables like eggplants or grapes) • Blue and white (For seafood or other ocean-inspired foods) - Orange and brown (For autumnal foods like pumpkins or sweet potatoes) • Brown and white (For chocolate or other sweet treats with a brown hue) - Red and green (For holiday-themed foods, like cookies or cocktails)
Tips for Food Nail Designs
Do not try to make the design too complicated. It should still be easy to tell what the nail is supposed to be.
Apply a layer of glitter polish over your base coat to make your food designs pop.
Try using a toothpick or a small paintbrush to apply the glitter. This will help you get more precise lines and details.
Don't use many types of food. Nail art designs are typically small and intricate, which means that if too many different types of food are depicted, the design may become cluttered and difficult to interpret.
It's easier to get away with using foods as nail art if you're going for a more natural look. A matte or stained polish can help you achieve that!
Use food dyes for the color of your choice. You can get them at most craft stores or online. Be sure to use non-toxic dyes as they will be coming in contact with your skin.
Create a cohesive look by using similar colors in your food choices.
