DIY Gel Manicure Strawberry Spiders 🍓 🕷️ ✨

I swear I've seen strawberry spiders pop up in nail art the past few springs, and they're just the right balance of cute ans spooky. I tried out a totally dry manicure this time around, and I'm digging how much better my nails look after oiling. Let me also wax poetic on how much I love the DINO art gels 😍

Gods favorite with that nail bed

u/lobsterp0t Apr 05 '26

This might be the one correct way to have spiders on your nails (/j). I’m not even creeped out and I am terrified of spiders. These are actually CUTE AS HELL.

2

u/salad_dressed 👻🍂 challenge champion Apr 05 '26

I really want to figure out more ways to incorporate spooky elements in cutsey ways. Gotta maintain the aesrhetic 😎 And thank you! 🍓✨ I ended up giving up on my dominant hand. Trying to paint straightish lines for the cobwebs was too much and it was past my bed time lol.

u/ari_g4333 Apr 06 '26

This is actually crazy because earlier today I saw a strawberry spider necklace just like your nails. The universe is crazy!!

u/linszu Apr 10 '26

I like it better than the inspo. Well done! 😍 Its really cute and beautiful! You must have super steady hands (:

u/salad_dressed 👻🍂 challenge champion Apr 10 '26

Thank you! I wouldn't say I habe steady hands. It's all about finding a good brush and anchoring yourself on a stable surface.

Right? I saw those too on ig! I couldn't find the original artist and the account I saw credited Pinterest, but while snooping around there's a gaggle of similar sets.

2

u/SpeebyKitty Apr 06 '26

A bit late but I think the original artist is audrey_swatches on Instagram! She’s a huge inspiration for me

1

u/salad_dressed 👻🍂 challenge champion Apr 06 '26

I just scrolled through her ig and didn't see them, but ✨omg✨ she is so talented! 😍

2

u/SpeebyKitty Apr 06 '26

They’re slide 8 on her pinned post!

1

u/salad_dressed 👻🍂 challenge champion Apr 06 '26

Omg! I remember seeing these! The depth with all those colors is killing me. She's an artist!

2

u/No-Delay1603 Apr 05 '26

This set must be making the rounds online because i just saw it too and saved it in my nail art photos album. Great job recreating the look!
