3 cool green nail colors

Mint green

A throwback to the early 2000s, mint green nails are making a strong comeback this summer. Reminiscent of fresh mint leaves and a cool breeze, this pastel shade is a chic and understated way to get in on the green nail trend, with brands like Dior and Nailberry releasing new mint green polishes.

Brat girl green nails

One color that stands out within the green nail trend is “brat girl” green, a shade inspired by Charli XCX’s Brat album. This specific shade, often described as slime green, has become synonymous with the singer’s edgy style. Brat green replaces traditional pastel hues with its eye-catching, slightly eccentric appeal for a more youthful take on the trend. This lime shade isn’t exactly neon, but it’s more vibrant than emerald or khaki. Celebrities like Adwoa Aboah and Hailey Bieber have embraced brat green, and you, too, can turn heads with a slime manicure.

Matcha nails

Another shade of green that’s on the rise is matcha green. If the slimy green of snotty girl nails isn’t for you, the more sophisticated and muted matcha green is a more grown-up take on the green nail trend. This earthy, muted green is perfect for those who prefer a more natural, calming style, and would also work well for a wedding or garden party.
