If someone had told me that I’d be looking at pictures of mint green nails this summer, I’d have laughed. Don’t get me wrong, I love this colour, but after wearing Essie’s Mint Candy Apple nail polish for weeks on end back in the early ’00s, I thought that I’d have put this pastel shade behind me by now. In fact, I think most people would agree that this bright green colour could be considered “dated” now that we are favouring more neutral, pared-back nail designs.
However, the sun is out, and I am ready to inject a bit more colour into my manicure. After doing lots of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that mint green nails are having a massive comeback, and I’m pretty sure that this “dated” nail colour is going to be summer’s biggest manicure trend.
You see, not only are searches for mint green nails picking up on Google Trends, but brands such as Dior and Nailberry have just launched brand new mint green nail polishes, and I’m seeing this shade all over Instagram. It’s safe to say that I’ve fallen in love with the pastel colour all over again, so I thought it was only right that I shared some of my favourite mint green manicures with you. Keep on scrolling for all the summer inspo you need…
