3 Cool Green Nail Colours
Mint Green
Mint green nails, a throwback to the early 00s, are making a significant comeback this summer. This pastel shade, reminiscent of fresh mint leaves and cool breezes, is a chic, understated way to tap into the green nails trend, with brands like Dior and Nailberry launching new mint green polishes.
Brat Girl Green Nails
A standout within the green nail trend is the “brat girl” green, a shade inspired by Charli XCX’s album Brat. This specific hue, often described as slime green, has become synonymous with the singer’s edgy style. Brat green replaces traditional pastel shades with its eye-catching, slightly off-kilter appeal for a more youthful take on the trend. This lime shade is not quite neon but more vibrant than emerald or khaki. Celebrities from Adwoa Aboah to Hailey Bieber have embraced brat green, and you can turn heads with a slime mani, too.

Matcha Nails
Another green shade on the rise is matcha green. If the slime green of brat 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 and calming vibe, and would work well for a wedding or garden party, too.
