17 Green Nail Designs For Your Next Manicure

Switching up your beauty look doesn’t always require dying your hair or applying a smoky eye — you can always change the go-to shade of your nails. The latest nail trends include a mix of bold and simple styles, from matte finishes to fun cherry designs, but if you’re stuck on what shade to try next, you can never go wrong with green nails.

Neutral manicures of classic colors will never go out of style, but green nail designs are an easy way to add a pop of color to your look. With endless shades to choose from, you can keep it simple and muted with a sage green, add intricate designs with a neon hue, or try a green twist on the french manicure. To help you get some ideas, we spoke with celebrity manicurists Britney Tokyo and Elina Ogawa to learn more about the shade and why it’s popular.

“The color green in general is increasingly getting more popular for everything such as clothing, sneakers, and accessories — and this is reflected in the latest nail trends,” Ogawa tells PS.

Tokyo adds that the color was included in Pantone’s spring/summer 2024 trend report, which has contributed to its popularity. Ahead, check out some of the manicurists’ favorite green nail ideas.
