Different Shades of Green Nails
Did you know that green is the hot color for this year? From being picked as the top paint color, to being featured by fashion designers, and of course, to looking ah-mazing on your nails, you can’t go wrong when you choose green right now! If you’re ready to try some stunning green nail design, keep reading. You’re sure to find a few that you absolutely love below!
Lime Green Nail Designs
Lime green is definitely a trending color right now. It is perfect for the warmer spring and summer months, but can also add a pop of color to your nails and help you make a statement during the colder months as well.
These lime green nails are fun, bright, and simple to do yourself at home. Start by applying a lime green nail polish, such as Feelin’ Just Lime by Essie. Then, once it has dried, use a bit of white and black nail polish to create small accent flowers on one nail on each hand.
Sage Green Nails
Sage green, which is a mix of light green and gray, is much more subdued than neon green. Sage is an herb, so it only makes sense that adding sage green to your nails will make you and other things of greenery and plants. For that reason, we think sage nails can pair really nicely with some accent nails of a different color featuring flowers.
For example, as shown here, you can pair sage green nail polish, like Beetles Cecelia Sage Green Gel Nail Polish, with a pale pink nail polish, like Venalisa Nude Pink Gel Nail Polish. Then, just paint a few simple flowers and leaves over the pink nails to complete the look.
Emerald Green Nails
Emeralds are stunning green gemstones that sparkle and shine. Try an emerald green nail polish with some glitter to give your nails that same effect. The glitter will reflect the light and really make your nails light up the room. We like the way the Zoya Elphie Nail Polish sparkles.
Olive Green Nails
Olive green and pale olive green are also trending colors this year. This simple, yet attention-grabbing olive green nail polish design is one you may want to try. Just grab a bottle of olive green nail polish, such as OPI Olive for Green Nail Polish, and paint all of your nails. Then, use a black nail marker, like the one in this Beetles Gel Polish Nail Art Set, to add some wavy horizontal lines on one finger on each hand.
Neon Green Nails
If you’re looking for neon green nail ideas, you’re probably ready to make a real statement with your nails. Neon green is very bright and will certainly draw lots of attention to your nails. You can always paint your nails entirely with neon green, or you could consider a design such as this one. Paint the bottom half of your nails with a pale pink color, like OPI Beyond the Pale Pink. Then, add neon green nail polish, such as LeChat Dare to Wear Anonymity Nail Polish, along the tips. Add a few black stars or other geometric shapes with a black nail marker to finish off the design.
Kelly Green Nails
Kelly green is that true green color that makes you think of leprechauns, shamrocks, and Saint Patrick’s Day. Its color also makes one think of new beginnings and springtime, making it the ideal choice for those months when the weather is just starting to warm up. Welcome spring with kelly green nails, such as these, using a color like Zoya Evergreen Neon. You can even add a contrasting pink nail polish, like Essie Throw in the Towel Nail Polish, to the fingers on one hand to show two of the colors most associated with spring. Use white and yellow nail markers to add some dots reminiscent of flowers to some or all of your nails for an extra touch.
Green French Tip Nails
French tips don’t have to be done with just white. You can enjoy the fun pop of color that green brings in a slightly more subdued fashion with green French tips. For example, we like the elegance of this French manicure look with a light green nail polish, such as Essie Expressie Express to Impress Quick-Dry Nail Polish.
Summer Green Nail Designs
Before too long, summer will be here. Green is such a fun color to use in the summer, whether you’re on vacation or just sticking with your normal routine. Choosing a fun green nail design for the summer can help make whatever you’re doing a bit more fun. Welcome the warm summer weather with these green palm tree design nails. You’ll just need a bright green polish, like duri NYC Apple Envy, and a black nail marker.
