Forget strawberry and tomato motifs. It’s officially a “guava girl” summer. That’s because the best in beauty is currently centered around soft greens, pale pinks, and all things tangy, just like the tropical fruit.

Guavas — native to Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean — have a light green rind and a vibrant coral-pink interior. The flavor is a mix between strawberry and pear, with a hint of mango — hence the irresistible appeal.

If you’ve already picked up a lip balm in this juicy flavor or spritzed on a fruity body mist, the next step is obvious: get a guava-inspired manicure. This season, you truly can’t overdo it in the pink department.

On TikTok, the search for “guava girl nail art” pulls up a sea of rose-colored fingertips, dreamy aura designs, iridescent greens, subtle ombrés, and even fruit decals.

Just like the colorful dopamine nail art trend, this one is all about embracing summer and having fun, whether you’re beachside, on vacay, or soaking up the sun at a picnic. Here, find 13 guava girl nail art ideas that’ll instantly boost your mood.

1“Guava Girl” Summer

For the quintessential guava girl look, go for a peachy pink base, lime green French tips, and 3D details that evoke drops of juice. It’s a set that’s beautifully delectable.

2Tropic Like It’s Hot

This manicure features a realistic design that looks just like a fresh slice of guava, complete with a green rind, tiny seeds, and fresh pink fruit. Incorporate tropical flowers and an anklet-like silver stud accent for the ultimate summer aesthetic.

3So Juicy

Transform your go-to cat eye nails into the guava girl trend by blending pink and green hues, plus a splash of 3D acrylic that looks just like freshly squeezed juice.

4Slice Of Life

If your summer mani MO is hot pink nail polish, this set’s for you. Paint your nails a bright guava color, then add a thin green rim around the edges for a design that looks good enough to eat.

5I’m Jelly

Guava-flavored lip gloss has flooded the beauty shelves. Translate this trend into a manicure via a coral pink nail polish with a glossy, jelly-like finish.

6Go Green

Iridescent green feels fresh, especially if you’re wearing an all-pink guava-inspired ‘fit. It’s the cutest color combo of 2025.

7Sweet Sorbet

The soft coral and green swirls in this design are reminiscent of a refreshing sorbet. Use a marbling effect to blend the shades together, then add white to make the hues pop. A few drops of acrylic give it that freshly-picked vibe.

8Fruit Bowl

Another way to embrace all things guava is by piling on some dainty fruit decals. This manicure includes grapes, cherries, strawberries, coconuts, and blueberries, but a few guava slices could easily fit into the mix.

9Guava-ura

Go for a set of aura nails that seamlessly blends peachy pink into glossy green for a dazzling summer mani.

10Ready To Eat

Guava pink looks pretty next to pale yellow and orange — two colors you might see on the fruit before it’s fully ripe. Ask for these hues at your next manicure, along with fruity and floral details.

11Summer Sunset

This delicate ombré nail design fades from soft pink to blush and coral. The guava-colored gradient screams “summer sunset.”

12So Ripe

For another take on aura guava nails, go for a pastel green or yellow polish, then use a sponge to blend a splash of guava pink into the center.

13Glossy Guava

To take your coral and green set to another eye-catching level, use a magnetic polish to add an iridescent, sparkling finish.
