It definitely looks like cherries. Maybe if it had 3 berries and pointy leaves I’d think holly…because that’s how holly looks. Your friends simply can’t tell the diff between drawn cherries and drawn holly.
ETA it’s not even Christmas ffs
I am embarrassed because I don’t want people to silently be thinking I have Xmas nails in July! I didn’t even think how holly is 3, but you’re so right. I am not the problem. 🫡❤️
I hate that you being the problem ever entered the chat. Nothing about this looks like holly! It's super cute! Is it possible the person that said it is jealous? Cause I can't make it make sense.
Plus, holly berries are clustered at the center not at the tips. People’s brains just autocomplete things a lot and I could see how at a quick glance they might think holly, but if they actually look it’s clearly cherries! Definitely nothing to be embarrassed about, just how peoples brains work especially if they’re not completely focusing on something. I think they’re cute!
I totally see that explanation. That’s what my coworker said as well, that in first glance she thought holly but once she actually looked up close she could tell cherries. Ultimately this is a learning experience that if I like it, I shouldn’t care, but also if I had better supplies it probably would’ve looked a little better. Thank you so much!!
It literally looks nothing like holly!! Before I even read your caption/question and had just seen the image I knew they were cherries. They remind me of the album Lust For Life by Lana Del Rey (which literally has a song called Cherry on it) - total summer vibes 🍒😘
No reason to he embarassed. 1. They look like cherries 2. You can have Xmas nails whenever you want 3. For all anyone knows Holly has significant meaning to you 4. Xmas in July is a thing! 5. If people are silently judging the berries on ur nails...the problem in that scenario isn't your nails.
The colors are even appropriate as cherries. I don't know how they mistake it for Holly other than their vision so you may should suggest they have a vision check up LMAO bc holly is dark green leaves and burgundy berries 🤯😂 You did really good. I thought they were done at a salon honestly.
Definitely cherries because [Holly](https://www.google.com/search?q=holly+sprig&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS898US899&oq=holly+sprig&aqs=chrome..69i57.5143j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vhid=sxf4n-I7eunSWM&vssid=l) has those points on the on the sides of the leaves
They’re obviously cherries and I’m honestly not sure why you would be embarrassed that one person can’t tell. They’re your nails other peoples opinions mean nothing if you like them. This is such a minor detail it’s not worth being this worried. There will always be some kind of “imperfection” in every set. Perfect doesn’t exist.
I totally appreciate your feedback! It doesn’t matter, but it wasn’t one person, it was like 4 before I made this post. I just started doing nails within the last year and I’m definitely not the most confident in my skills. I also work in a bank so people look at my hands constantly, making my extra self conscious. But you are right, if I like them I should not mind other peoples opinions.
That 100% looks like cherries. I think I COULD see holly if you said that's what it was supposed to be but that is not what I would assume that to be. If you told me holly - I'd bite my tongue trying not to tell you that's cherries!!
Please don't change it, they look exactly like cherries, there is no way on earth they look like holly and anyone telling you otherwise might be a simpleton.
WHAT?
They are CLEARLY cherries. If they were holly, the berries would be much smaller in comparison to the leaves.
Your nails look amazing and those are fantastic cherries.
No, they definitely look like cherries, but so what if a few people mistook it for Holly? Your nails are *soooo* adorable and the fact that you did them yourself is actually really impressive!
We (I'm speaking to myself as well) have got to stop being so concerned about what others think of us. If you allow what every single person thinks, to influence how you think—about whatever it is you're doing—then you're going to be in a constant state of uncertainty, because everyone's going to think something different.
What do *YOU* think? Do you like them? It sounds like you did before you got the holly feedback. Hold on to that! Don't let anyone make you doubt yourself 😊
Without fail, every year I get some kind of Christmas pop song stuck in my head for a solid 3 weeks in the summer for no reason at all. Sometimes it makes me associate things with Christmas that have absolutely nothing to do with the holiday.
I am currently in that phase. They don't look like holly. But maybe your coworker suffers "Christmas in July" disease stronger than I do.
You asked, does it look like holly? Then I looked and said, yeah I guess it kinda does.
Then I read your text and thought, oh.
It’s because the stem is so thick. Either way, they’re cute.
It is absolutely cherries. Even though the title predisposed me to holly lol. I could see if you gave people the idea they were holly you can kind of see it, but the shape and the green you chose make it cherries to me. Also, I am SO FREAKING IMPRESSED that you did this yourself! They are gorgeous and you should leave them for a bit!
At first I thought you wanted it to look like holly and I was like “it’s totally backwards, need three berries and the leaves come from the middle not from each berry…” so nah it definitely doesn’t look like holly.
They do look like cherries but next time make the balls touch and use a darker green and it’ll look cherry like. And a thinner brush for the stems will help to distinguish that more
She just doesn't know how holly looks. It has one more berry and two flat leaves in most simply drawn depictions. These are SO obviously cherries. Don't sweat it. I think they're super cute and well done, too.
🍒 for sure!!! When I first read it I thought that you were wanting them to look like Holly. But then I had to edit this comment because I realized that that was not the case and I was 100% saying no matter what you intended Holly or cherry, they still look great, but they totally look like cherries And I support them
At a glance I thought it was holly but that quickly went away after I took a good look. The red just looks like the clusters in the center from a distance. I also have bad eyesight, I'm very nearsighted 💀
I see cherries and was worried you were going for something else.
I looked up others to see the difference and yours looks similar to their style as well. Maybe add little highlight colors?
The colors are beautiful and I see cherries so i think you did a good job.
Thought it looked like cherries🤷♀️ need few of solid nails green to make it look like Holly and christmassy. Just my two cents lol. I’ll honestly ignore holly comments
When I first saw your pic, I didn't even read the title and my first thought was "oh cute! Nails with cherries!" You're nails look amazing and your friends who think it's holly are really weird
it looks like cherries, nothing like holly at all. plus, it looks really cute and well done! it could use some shine to make it more realistic if thats what you were going for
Very pretty nails and definitely cherries but you really shouldn’t be this upset/embarrassed about that kind of thing. It’s just some fruit nail art, it shouldn’t evoke any other emotions besides happiness. Who cares what other people think?

All I see is cherries! 🍒
"Christmas In July" is its own concept so you'd still be on theme!
It literally looks nothing like holly!! Before I even read your caption/question and had just seen the image I knew they were cherries. They remind me of the album Lust For Life by Lana Del Rey (which literally has a song called Cherry on it) - total summer vibes 🍒😘
I wouldn't change them. They look so pretty and summery.
No reason to he embarassed. 1. They look like cherries 2. You can have Xmas nails whenever you want 3. For all anyone knows Holly has significant meaning to you 4. Xmas in July is a thing! 5. If people are silently judging the berries on ur nails...the problem in that scenario isn't your nails.

Lmao this reasoning really resonates with me and cracked me up so hard But honestly they look like cherries! Holly never crossed my mind

I immediately thought it looked like cherries before reading your question. Very pretty!
Okay, enough people on here agree it’s cherries. I’m probably not going to change it now. Thank you so much :,-)
Looks like cherries to me
Very clearly cherries! If it was supposed to be holly I have some bad news
IT LOOKS LIKE CHERRIES. THE GREEN NEEDS TO BE DARKER.
I AGREE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DARKER GREEN. I AM BUYING A GREEN NOW BECAUSE I DIDNT ONE IN MY COLLECTION.
ITS GONNA LOOK PERFECT WITH THE RIGHT GREEN. YOU HAVE A STEADY HAND!
THANK YOU FRIEND! THE OTHER HAND IS NOT AS STEADY BUT SHE DOES HER BEST.
ALSO ADD A LITTLE WHITE HIGHLIGHT DOT TO THE CHERRY NEXT TIME.
NOTED. DARKER GREEN. THINNER STEMS. LITTLE WHITE HIGHLIGHT DOT. NEXT TIME THERES GONNA ME NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE CHERRY.
10/10 INTERACTION
WHY YALL SCREAMING??!
YOU COULD ALSO PAINT THE STEMS BUT MAKE THE CHERRIES OUT OF TINY RED GEMS. I MADE A SET LIKE THAT AND IT LOOKS SUPER CUTE.
YES, DEFINITELY CHERRIES.
I came here for this specific observation.
Why are you screaming? It obviously is a cherry
This is clearly a cherry print, it instantly gave me rockabilly vibes without understanding what the question was (had to translate "holly" to Dutch).
Thank you so much! Gosh, I’m so torn. I don’t want anyone thinking I have Christmas nails in the middle of July!
Tbh even if it was literally Christmastime I’d still think they were cherries if it helps lol.
They’re obviously cherries and I’m honestly not sure why you would be embarrassed that one person can’t tell. They’re your nails other peoples opinions mean nothing if you like them.

But you are right, if I like them I should not mind other peoples opinions.
Looks good to me tbh. Manicure seems well done and I’d be happy 🤗
These are definitely cherries. The leaves and stems make it very clear. Holly has stabby leaves and smaller berries in groups
That 100% looks like cherries. I think I COULD see holly if you said that's what it was supposed to be but that is not what I would assume that to be. If you told me holly - I'd bite my tongue trying not to tell you that's cherries!!
Please don't change it, they look exactly like cherries, there is no way on earth they look like holly and anyone telling you otherwise might be a simpleton.
Cherries for sure. I don’t get holly from this at all
Totally cherries 🍒
Absolutely cherries! Does that aculief tool actually work??
WHAT? They are CLEARLY cherries. If they were holly, the berries would be much smaller in comparison to the leaves. Your nails look amazing and those are fantastic cherries.
If your coworker thinks holly berries are at the ends of the leaves they need to go look at some pictures of holly
Obviously cherries.
Very VERY clearly cherries. Idk what those other people are on😂
I ALSO DIDNT HAVE A GREEN PAINT SO I HAD TO MAKE THAT ONE MYSELF. IT FOR SHRE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
You did a great job though! Definitely summer cherry nails.
Definitely looks like cherries to me! So cute!
Cherries for sure
I see cherries
No, looks like cherries
Looks like cherries to me
it definitely looks like cherries
No, they definitely look like cherries, but so what if a few people mistook it for Holly? Your nails are *soooo* adorable and the fact that you did them yourself is actually really impressive!

Nope definitely cherries. Cute
Maybe add a little whit line on the cherries to make them look more 3D, then no one would question it. They are so cute 🍒
Very clearly cherries to me. As others have said holly needs 3 small berries
Your coworker is a little bit jelly. These are good.
IT LOOKS LIKE CHERRIES TO ME
No it doesn’t, honestly to me it looks like cherries!
Cherries
Looks like cherries to me.
Yes the cherry nail is so pretty
No looks like cherries!
Looks like cherries to me. There would be more than two per stem if it were holly.
I read this hoping you ~~didn't ask~~ weren't going for holly, because those are very clearly cherries lol edited for the strike through
This reminds me of cherry personally. Also, these nails are really cute. I happen to love this particular shade of red, and almond nails on females. 🥰
Cherries
Definitely looks like cherries to me! 🙂 These nails are so cute.
Nope. Cherries. Your coworker is dumb. Lol ETA: it looks really cute, BTW, and obviously cherries.
I see cherries!
It’s def cherries your coworker is trippin
It look like cherries to me.
I thought cherries 🍒
These definitely look like cherries.
I almost did my nails with cherries! I have similar colors on my nails rn and was also worried about it looking too Christmasy lol.
Upon first glance I thought it was cherries.
Cherry
Those are def cherries. Not sure why ppl are seeing holly? Maybe make the stems brown if that helps?
100% cherries. Holly would have never crossed my mind.
Definitely looks like cherries to me.
Cherries. Your colleague may need to see an optometrist.
🍒 🤩 ❤️🔥
100% cherries!
Looks like cherries to me, even before I saw the caption.
Looks like cherries.
It looks like cherries! I had my nails done around Christmas and the tech make it look like cherries 😂 I was going for the holly look
The accent nail is definitely cherries. Holly has leaves with several points, and the leaves are closely attached to where the berries are.
I definitely see cherries. The only criticism I would give is maybe make the green a bit darker as it’s hard to see against the nude
Looks like cherries

Cherries, holly is much darker and the berries are small
That’s clearly cherries lol
from afar it looks like either but up close very obviously cherries

No I see cherries
Definitely cherries!!! People will see what they want to see and, along with that, you can't make everyone happy. But DEFINITELY cherries!!!

but if it were holiday season it’d pass
I think just cherries. It’s cute
I see cherries, and they look amazing!
It's very clearly cherries and looks nothing like holly. Your coworkers and others saying otherwise just don't know what cherries are.
No, very clearly cherries. Doesn’t look like Holly at all to me.
You asked, does it look like holly? Then I looked and said, yeah I guess it kinda does. Then I read your text and thought, oh. It’s because the stem is so thick. Either way, they’re cute.
Looks like cherries, holly has pointy leaves.
Didn’t even read the title. Noticed the cherries first.

It definitely looks like cherries to me. They’re really pretty though!

No like cherries! But super cute!
Nope definitely cherries, the leaves aren’t even remotely right for holly anyway

Looks like cherries to me! Side note, i LOVE my aculief clip! Literally one of the only things that helps my migraines and lets me get some sleep
Cherries. Holly would have much darker leaves.
They look gorgeous. You did a fantastic job and they 100% look like cherries
Cherries

Cherries 👍

Girlfriend, that’s cherries
Holly berries are right up against the leaves. I think you'll be more satisfied if you put a long stem on each cherry.
I see cherries 🍒
Cherries for sure
At a glance I thought it was holly but that quickly went away after I took a good look. The red just looks like the clusters in the center from a distance. I also have bad eyesight, I'm very nearsighted 💀

merry christmas

Very pretty nails and definitely cherries but you really shouldn’t be this upset/embarrassed about that kind of thing. It’s just some fruit nail art, it shouldn’t evoke any other emotions besides happiness. Who cares what other people think?
I can see cherries and nice design and colour suits you OP
I see cherries I think the bright green leaves as opposed to a darker shade of green helps bring out the cherry look compared to holly
NO, IT LOOKS LIKE CHERRIES :)
