Irresistibly Fun Avocado Nail Designs You’ll Obsess Over

Tropical Gradient Nails with Avocados

Avocados are berries that grow in tropical zones like Southern California, Mexico, and Central America. They fit right into a gradient nails look with sparkly spring green and emerald shades. They make this mani feel summery and fun.

Moreover, it’s simple to create a similar style using nail stickers. The most challenging part is the ombre nail on the middle finger. Brush on the light color first, then apply the dark one with an ombre nail brush or a piece of makeup sponge to blend the colors.

Here’s Looking at You

Normally, avocado colors like creamy light greens, brown, and olive have a calming vibe. But this design feels a little unsettling, like the fruit is looking back at you! Either way, avocado themes are popular because they’re quirky and unexpected. They appeal to people who enjoy humor in their nail art or want a conversation starter that’s both cute and on-trend. Plus, avocados are a pop culture symbol that stands for a health-conscious lifestyle.

Delightful Avocado Nails

Avocados have been a favorite human food for seven thousand years. They were originally grown in South and Central America in warm places where water is abundant. Each fruit needs about eighty-five gallons of water to make it to harvest time.

The Aztecs ate these berries and considered them a symbol of fertility. They didn’t know it, but avocados are super nutrient-rich with lots of potassium, fiber, and healthy fats.

Here the hand-painted avocados are in active poses surrounded by hearts, sparkles, and rainbows. They really stand out because the artist selected a nude base that matches the skin perfectly.

Love Notes

This adorable avocado manicure is humorous and romantic. Who can resist the charming avocado couple on side by side nails? The surrounding fingertips have handwritten love notes making this a fun, quirky, and love-filled conversation starter!

Did you know that in some parts of the world, people carve avocado seeds into intricate pieces of art for rings and jewelry? You can give them as wedding gifts.

Emoji Avocado Nails

Here are expressive avocado emojis. Now why can’t we have these on our phones? Look how glossy they are, they are irresistible!

We also can’t resist avocado trivia. For example, the Super Bowl is one of the biggest events for avocados in the U.S. People consume millions of pounds of avocados just for guacamole on game day.

Avocado Moons

These nails are stunning. Or maybe shocking. The white base makes the avocado moons seem like eyes peering out of the fingertips.

Here’s another stunner: avocado trees have both male and female flowers so they can self-pollinate. The flowers open as females first, then switch to male the next day. And avocado trees can live for over four hundred years, continuing to produce fruit throughout their long lives.

Peekaboo Avocado Nails

These cute nails wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for humans, and not just because a person painted them. It’s also because the animals who used to spread avocado seeds went extinct. Fortunately, farmers took over and spread avocados across tropical zones. Now there are more than five hundred varieties, from the bright green Fuerte to the ever-popular Hass. The largest avocado ever measured weighed over five pounds!

Look closely and you’ll notice that every other nail here has a pearly green sheen. It’s a simple design but well-thought out and executed.

Avocado Green Nails

These nails look fresh and green, especially with the droplets. They remind us of the brilliant green Fuerte avocados that don’t change color when they ripen.

Can you tell when an avocado is ripe? For Hass avocados, the skin turns from olive green to a darker color. Give the avocado a gentle squeeze in the palm of your hand. A ripe avocado should yield slightly to pressure but not feel mushy. You can also flick off the stem. If it comes off easily and you see green underneath, it's ripe. If it’s brown, it might be overripe. But if it’s hard to remove, it’s not yet ready.

Unlike most fruits, avocados don’t ripen until they’re picked. This allows farmers to keep them on the tree longer to ensure the ideal ripeness for the market.

What Shades for Avocado Nails?

Before we dive into palettes, there’s just one more fact to share. Artisans use avocado pits to make a natural dye. It looks peachy pink, a lovely companion for the creamy greens of the rest of the fruit.

As for avocado green nail colors, you have several choices. You can search for shades with names like avocado, olive drab, light forest green, medium yellow green, or light yellow green. These cover the various parts of the fruit, from the skin to the meat inside. The seed would be a medium brown color.

Here are a few examples to help you represent avocados in their natural hues. DND DC 326 Nightrider is a nice dark green for the peel, as is LDS 492 Pine Needles.

Chaun Legend’s Lemonade Luxe would be a nice pop of color for the fruit near the skin. So would OPI’s Pricele$$.

Finally, Lavis 004 Smokey Green would be ideal for the creamy off-white fruit around the seed.
