“Peach tea” nails aren’t your regular peach-coloured manicures – they feature gentle gradients!

Type “peach nails” in the search bar on Pinterest and you’ll discover a myriad of peach-toned manicured nails, from vibrant peachy pinks to light tangerine orange shades. But these are nothing quite like the “peach tea” nails that we’ve come across on the social media platform, the Little Red Book.

What are “peach tea” nails?

The “peach tea” nails that we describe flaunt beautiful ombré tones that can be any combination of darker tangerines, pale pinks, and even a refreshing hint of spring greens, all of which point to fresh fuzzy fruits and ice-cold cups of peach tea!

To top it off, these nails have sheer hues and a jelly-like texture, lending all the more to a fruity peach blend. That’s right, read on, because we share our favourite “peach tea” nail looks and how you wear them yourself!

Peachiest “peach tea” nail looks

Peachy peach tea nails

A single peachy pink hue is not enough to make us think of fruity, thirst-quenching peach tea. However, this blend of dusty pink and tangerine orange makes the perfect fruit tea concoction, even for a manicure.

Fresh peach tea nails

The beautiful creamy pink ombré already gives 10/10 peach tea vibes.

Add to that the small clear beads and the manicure takes on an even more refreshing twist. They recall the cool drops of water that slide down a cup on a hot summer’s day.

Plainest peach tea nails

These nails are pretty as a peach, plain as day. It boasts a simple gradient from milky pink to ripe, juicy peachy pink – just like the colours of this fuzzy fruit.

Juicy peach tea nails

Peach season is when the weather is warm and the peaches are at their juiciest, plumpest, and sweetest. That’s when the peaches take on a ripe reddish pinkish hue or deeper peachy tangerine tones, like the colours in this peach tea manicure.

Daisy-dancing peach tea nails

The peach and daisy emoji together give the ultimate summertime mood, as do these graceful nails that show off the loveliest, translucent peach tea gradient and delicate daisies that decorate it.

Milk peach tea nails

Take two of our favourite bubble tea options – fruity peach tea and creamy milk tea – and put them together, and you’ll get a delicious milk peach tea blend. This manicure uses a peachy pink polish (pink with orange undertones) and a milk-white one to create a yummy milk peach tea gradient.

Frosty peach tea nails

Besides sunny, ripe summer, peaches also remind us of cool, sweet treats like fruity frosted cakes, canned peaches, and – yes, iced peach tea. This peach tea manicure features a sprinkling of shiny white pearls too, which almost look like chewy boba.

Starry peach tea nails

Bring a sheer shimmer to your peach tea nails with a jelly glitter polish. It’ll look like peach tea that’s been freshly poured into a cup: the glitter mimics the tiny air bubbles that rise up like laughter underneath the ice.

Seems-like-summer peach tea nails

These peach tea nails depart from the usual pinkish shades with fresh, vibrant orange hues. Painted only over the ends of the nails, the zesty tangerine ombré recalls a child’s fingers dipped happily in peach jam – a perfect picture of summer.

Plus, the cute peach patterns against a white base makes a statement design that’s the cherry (or should we say peach) on top of this cheerful manicure.

Touch-of-tangerine peach tea nails

Slice open a pink peach and you’ll discover its orange centre: juicy, sweet and ready to be bitten into.

This peach tea manicure captures the sweetness of the fleshy fruit with the light tangerine shade on one nail, and a strawberry-pink mingled with mango-orange gradient on the rest of the nails.

Minty peach tea nails

Light green and pink come together like caterpillars and butterflies, fresh peaches and their leafy branches, or… ice-cold peach tea topped with a sprig of mint.

How to create ombré “peach tea” nails

There are several ways that you create an ombré “peach tea” nail design on your own at home, one of which is by using the sponge technique.

The sponge technique involves applying a nail polish base of your choice – for “peach tea” nails, it could be a light pinkish hue – and then creating a gradient by tapping another nail polish onto the tips of the nails using a sponge.

Step 1: Paint a light pink base colour, and let it dry

Step 2: Apply a deeper rosy, tangerine, or peachy pink nail polish onto the makeup sponge (or wedge)

Step 3: Use the sponge to tap and create your ombré gradient. If you have to apply more layers, let the polish dry between each layer too.

Step 4: Apply a clear top coat
