3. Strawberry Milk Glossy Checkers

Concept & Aesthetic

Playful, retro, and undeniably cute. A soft, translucent pastel pink base paired with dainty, hand-painted micro-checkers in cherry red or cream.

How to Make It & Tips

  1. Paint your base with a sheer pink “strawberry milk” jelly polish.
  2. Using a fine detail brush, grid out a checkerboard pattern on the accent nails using opaque white or red polish.
  3. Cure each layer to prevent smudging.
  • Pro Tip: Keep the squares small to maintain a delicate, high-end look rather than a chunky cartoonish vibe.
