Features of manicure
Nail design with cherry is considered a light summer option. Wearing it in cold weather or to work is not very appropriate.
This manicure looks great on vacation or holidays. Suitable for both short and long nails.
Color palette
The main colors are shades of red, burgundy and green.
Choose neutral colors for the background:
- white;
- flesh (beige);
- transparent.
White is used most often: against its background, burgundy looks most advantageous; shadows, transitions, and shine can be conveyed.
Contrasting colors are used on other nails: this focuses attention on the main design. Apply to short and long plates.
Composition
It is necessary to carefully consider the cherry design on the nails: will it be on every finger or just one, what additions will be present in the design.
You need to decide on the size of the berries, as well as their location (in the center, side, top or bottom).
You shouldn’t put a scattering of berries on each nail: the image will ripple and look sloppy. Cherries look best on the middle or ring finger.

With gold
To create a non-trivial image, you can use both gold-colored varnishes and additional decorative elements made in this shade of color. Each design option will give you your own unique image.
With silver
The principle is the same as with gold varnish. The main thing is to remember that too many decorative elements can negatively affect the depth and charm of the composition you are recreating.
With rhinestones
You can use pebbles of absolutely any shape, color and size. It is enough to remember that their number should not be excessively large, and the sizes of decorative elements are selected based on the length of the nail.
With flowers
To create attractive floral arrangements, use regular white and black polish. They demonstrate a slight contrast with the color of Marsala and thereby contribute to the creation of unique images.

Execution technique
Regular varnish
The plate is degreased and a background is applied; it is allowed to dry for 10-15 minutes. Then, using a brush or dots, they draw circles - future berries. Depending on the diameter, they will be small or large.
Using a thin brush or toothpick, draw cuttings and leaves. To make it easier to work with varnish, pour a small amount into a foil cup. The main drawing dries for 20 minutes.
At the final stage, it is coated with a transparent varnish for shine and durability.
Gel polish
It is easier to work with gel polish because it dries quickly under a lamp.
At the preparatory stage, we give the nails a shape, remove the cuticle, and degrease the surface.
How to draw cherries on nails:
- A background color varnish is applied to the base in 2-3 layers.
- They make the outlines of one large cherry, and only then paint them over.
- Shadows are applied in burgundy - on top and on the sides.
- White or pearlescent colors create highlights.
- Using a thin brush, paint a branch and leaf in light green.
- Outline with a thin black outline and add veins.
- Add dark green, black, gray and highlights to the stem and leaf.
- Cover with a finishing layer (both glossy and matte look good).
Each layer of application must be dried in a special lamp.
Gel polish or regular polish – what to choose?
To provide yourself with remarkable conditions of practicality in the process of decorating your nails, try to comprehensively study the features of the technique and the materials that you use for decoration. Today, cherry manicure can be achieved with ordinary varnishes and gel formulas. In both cases, the representative of the fair sex surrounds herself with a wide variety of advantages and disadvantages. Thus, it is not surprising that they will be discussed further.
Practicality during application
Both consumables are easily distributed over the surface of the nail plate with ordinary brushes. However, their main difference is the drying procedure. Conventional varnishes dry in the open air, while gel consistencies require the use of ultraviolet lamps for polymerization.
Note! The cost of such lamps is quite high, which is one of the significant drawbacks for the design process and directly for the fair sex who wanted to use gel polishes at home.
Removing Coatings
Conventional formulas are neutralized by hypoallergenic solvents and clean sponges. The procedure for treating all nails takes no more than 5 minutes. Gel formulas are not able to pamper with such practicality . It will take 15 to 30 minutes to remove them. During this time, a special composition is applied to the nails, designed to soften the polymerized coating.
Variety in choice
By turning to the services of specialized cosmetics stores, you can easily select for yourself the most attractive shades of cherry polish, which will allow you to create a non-trivial manicure. At the same time, practice shows that it is ordinary coatings that have the richest collection of colors.
Price
As for the price range, the cost of conventional varnishes today is more acceptable for the consumer. Often it is several times lower than that of similar shades of gel structures.
Durability
One of the most significant indicators is the duration of wear. And in this case, the advantages, of course, lie with gel polishes. They are able to guarantee the formation of an attractive image for a period of 7 to 30 days . Everything depends directly on the quality of the selected consumables, the number of decorative elements and the skill demonstrated in the application process. Conventional coatings create an attractive appearance only for 2-3 days, after which correction is required.
Resistance to external factors
If your nails are systematically exposed to various negative external influences, we also recommend paying attention to gel polishes. Their polymerized structure easily copes with the influence of household chemicals, direct sunlight, temperature changes and strong physical influences.
Additional functions
The purpose of conventional varnishes is to perform a purely decorative function, while gel formulas contribute to the formation of a high degree of protection and nutrition for the nails. Their structure contains a large amount of useful vitamins and microelements that restore and strengthen the nail plate.
We also note that qualified nail technicians recommend carefully using conventional coatings, systematically allowing the nails to rest. This recommendation is due to the fact that constant exposure to classic varnishes can negatively affect the health of the nails and lead not only to the loss of natural color, but also to delamination, brittleness, and many other unpleasant aspects.
Note! The deep half-tones provided by cherry manicure are perfect for both urban and office looks. The main thing is to choose the right frame and various decorative elements for it. The fewer accessories you use, the more casual your nails become.

Any of the materials are rolled into a ball and applied to the nail, then they are given the desired shape and covered with shellac.
You will be able to make small voluminous cherries and leaves for them. Each element is immediately dried in a lamp. Then other decor is applied.
Cherry stickers
In nail services, the professional name for stickers is sliders. They are convenient to use.
There are several types of stickers:
Dense picture. This is usually a complex design that cannot be drawn by hand. Covers the entire plate. Sliders are cut to fit the shape, length or jacket.
Small images. Use for a pattern or cut them out separately.
