10 of the Most Gorgeous Strawberry Milk Nail Ideas for a Soft, Sweet Manicure
Just like hot cocoa, lattes, or even an iced chai, this trend brings that soft, delicate vibe we crave for our nails. It's essentially a variation of the classic milky mani, but with a gentle, blush-toned twist that elevates your nails to a whole new level of chic.
Whether it's a creamy finish with a touch of pink or a barely-there blush, strawberry milk nails are all about effortless elegance. Plus, who can forget the viral blueberry milk nails trend that made waves across social media?
If you're looking to add a little sweet softness to your nails, here are 10 stunning strawberry milk nail ideas to inspire your next mani.
Strawberry Glazed Donut
Take your strawberry milk mani up a notch by adding a stunning chrome finish. The strawberry glazed donut effect is created with shifty aurora chrome powder, offering a jaw-dropping shine that's as sweet as it is stylish.
The Simple Life
Sometimes, less is more. A couple of coats of strawberry milk polish, sealed with a glossy topcoat, will give you an effortlessly elegant look. Opt for a short, oval shape to enhance the simplicity of the design.
Chrombré Strawberry Milk
Why settle for one shade when you can have two? Take your strawberry glazed donut nails to the next level with an ombré effect. Simply add a bubblegum pink tip to your strawberry milk base, and top it off with some chrome powder for a dreamy finish.
Keep It Glassy
For a more sophisticated take, this version leans a bit pinker, a bit sheerer, and a touch glossier than the usual. The result is a cool, refined finish that looks impossibly chic.
Ribbons and Bows
Looking for something a bit more playful? Add metallic ribbons and bows to your strawberry milk manicure for a fun twist that mixes sweetness with a bit of edge.
Making the Gradient
Can't decide on just one shade of strawberry milk? Wear them all! Create a glossy gradient with a blend of pink hues for a fun, colorful mani that's both sweet and vibrant.
The Milky Way
If you like your strawberry milk nails with a softer edge, this is the style for you. A blush pink base topped with a sheer white polish gives you the gentlest touch of sweetness.
I Can Hear the Bells
For a bridal-inspired take, swap out the tips with a pearlescent white for a modern French manicure twist. It's a look that's perfect for engagements, weddings, or just adding a touch of romance to your style.
The Standard-Bearer
This one could very well be the ideal strawberry milk manicure: sheer, creamy, and glossy, with just the right balance of pink. It's a classic that deserves a permanent spot in your mani rotation.
Meet Your Matcha
Combine the best of both worlds with this strawberry matcha-inspired look. Bubblegum pink butterflies and matcha green stars come together in a whimsical yet sophisticated pastel mani. It's a quirky yet perfect combo!

Stage director Robert Wilson dead at 83
Celebrated US director Robert Wilson, who revolutionised stage and opera, died Thursday at the age of 83, his management said. "Robert Wilson died peacefully today in Water Mill, New York, at the age of 83, after a brief but acute illness," said a statement issued on his website. It said he worked right up until the end. Wilson's productions of original works as well as traditional repertoire pieces were hugely popular wherever they were shown. But it was in France where he was best known. It was the French who gave him a "home," Wilson told AFP in 2021. It was in 1976 that Wilson was propelled onto the international stage with Einstein on The Beach, a nearly five-hour opera staged several times since its creation, with music by Philip Glass. Einstein on the Beach broke all the conventions of classical opera - there is no linear narrative but rather it draws on themes related to Einstein's life. It does not aim to explain the theory of relativity but to convey the upheaval introduced by the notion of space-time, notably through dance. Wilson's trademarks included minimalist aesthetics, body language influenced by Asian theatrical forms, and lighting effects evoking dreamlike worlds. His love affair with France began with Deafman Glance (Le Regard du Sourd) — his first success — a "silent" seven-hour show presented at the Nancy Festival in 1971, and later in Paris. The show was born out of a real-world incident when in 1967, Wilson saw a 13-year-old Black teenager, Raymond Andrews, being beaten in the street by a police officer. He realised the child was deaf and mute and eventually adopted him. Wilson, also a visual artist, had a string of collaborations including with choreographer Andy de Groat, Tom Waits, Isabelle Huppert for Orlando by Virginia Woolf, Lady Gaga for video portraits of her at the Louvre, and ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov. "While facing his diagnosis with clear eyes and determination, he still felt compelled to keep working and creating right up until the very end," the website piece announcing his death said. "His works for the stage, on paper, sculptures and video portraits, as well as The Watermill Center, will endure as Robert Wilson's artistic legacy." Memorials will be held for Wilson at time and locations yet to be announced. Born to a lawyer in October 4, 1941, in Waco, Texas, Wilson was performing his own plays in the family garage by the age of 12, but recalls being bottom of the class at school.

Michael Jackson's dirty sock sells for over $8K
A single glittery sock that late pop superstar Michael Jackson wore during a concert in France in the 1990s sold for more than $8,000 on Wednesday, a French auctioneer said. A technician found the used sock discarded near Jackson's dressing room after the concert in the southern city of Nimes in July 1997, auctioneer Aurore Illy told AFP. It was carefully preserved for 28 years in a frame before going up for sale. The self-styled "King of Pop" wore white athletic socks adorned with rhinestones during his HIStory World Tour in 1997, according to specialist website Jackson can be seen wearing them in clips of him performing his hit Billie Jean. Decades later, the off-white item of clothing is covered in stains, and the rhinestones adorning it have yellowed with age, in a picture posted on the website. "It really is an exceptional object - even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans," Illy said. The sock, initially valued at 3,000 to 4,000 euros ($3,400-4,500), sold for 7,688 euros ($8,822) at the Nimes auction house. This is not the first time Jackson's clothing – particularly items worn during his performances and music videos – has been sold for vast sums. A Macau gaming resort in 2009 paid $350,000 for a glittery glove Jackson wore when he performed his first "moonwalk" dance in 1983. In addition, a hat he wore just before that performance sold for more than $80,000 in Paris in 2023. The same year, a leather jacket worn by the singer in a Pepsi ad from 1984 sold for over $300,000. Jackson died of a fatal overdose in 2009 aged 50. He still has a huge fan base, despite child molestation accusations against him during his lifetime and after his death, which he and his estate have denied.

Who is Lofi Girl? YouTube's iconic study streamer graduates after 7 years of non-stop studying
Lofi Girl, the beloved animated figure from YouTube's longest-running study stream, has officially graduated. In a TikTok video, the familiar figure swapped her headphones for a graduation cap, raising a laptop that simply read, "THE END." The moment was underscored by audio from the Disney Channel's A.N.T. Farm: "Finally, finished with all my homework. I don't know what I learned, but I'm done learning." The character, central to the "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" livestream, has symbolised calm productivity for millions since 2018. Since its launch, the stream's Ghibli-inspired visuals and mellow beats have been a soothing constant for fans, even weathering copyright takedowns in 2020 and 2022. Created by a reclusive French producer named Dimitri, the Lofi Girl channel—formerly ChilledCow—now boasts over 15 million subscribers. Its impact is more than musical: it helped spark parasocial connections, assisted neurodivergent users with focus, and influenced studies on streaming environments and brain function. Lofi Girl's journey has also supported indie artists like UK-based Mondo Loops, showing how background music can offer front-line opportunities.
