One of the hottest nail colors at the moment? Green. We’re seeing shades of green run the gamut from springy, pastel shades to calming olive hues and deep, rich emerald greens—and everything in between—taking over our favorite nail social media accounts. The best part? The color works all year round and for every season—plus, it looks good with all nail lengths, shapes and designs. Here, we rounded up our favorite green nails you can DIY at home or bring with you to your next salon appointment.
Why try green nails?
Green nails are such a great way to add a pop of color to your look without having to put in much effort. What we love about opting for a green hue is that green is proven to promote feelings of calm and peace and can make you feel more grounded and connected to nature. And channeling that through your mani is such an easy way to make each day just a little better!
Further, there are so many different shades of green to choose from that make it an excellent year-round color. For example, you may opt for a pastel green hue for the springtime and a darker green for winter. Or maybe you’ll try a bold neon green for the summer.
