Green nails: THE must-try manicure trend

 

We love Green nails

The softness of delicate greens

If you're looking for a refined and elegant look with a pop of color, soft green polishes are the perfect choice. They complement all skin tones while remaining subtle. These shades offer a hint of spring, blooming nature, and sunshine.

Mint: this refreshing minty shade will give your nails the dreamy look of a sea goddess emerging from turquoise waters. It enhances both fair and sun-kissed skin tones. A must-have for a fresh and trendy manicure.

Pistachio: this pale green with soft yellow undertones is simply irresistible. Its luminous and natural finish makes it the perfect choice for a chic manicure or a spring-inspired nail art look. A super trendy shade that looks stunning on both short and long nails.

 

The boldness of deep greens

For those who love a bold pop of color, nothing beats deep greens with rich, natural tones. These sophisticated and confident shades add a glamorous touch, making them perfect for flawless nail art or an elegant summer manicure in the season’s must-have colors.

Poison: this shimmering forest green is mesmerizing with its deep, intense color. Its rich hue exudes elegance, while its sparkling finish adds a playful, modern twist, making it perfect for a flawless look.

Khaki: With its gray undertones, this khaki green polish is perfect for a timeless yet bold manicure. Paired with soft shades like pale pink or white, it creates a chic yet playful look with a touch of originality.

Jade: This mineral-inspired green offers a sense of calm and serenity. Its deep yet subtle tone gives nails a naturally elegant look, ideal for a French manicure with a crisp white tip or a touch of gold glitter.

 

The Brat Green Wave

With the Y2K revival, Brat nails have become a major trend. Inspired by the hit album Brat by Charli XCX, this manicure trend stands in contrast to nude polishes and the clean girl aesthetic. The key rule? Go for a neon green shade, just like the album cover. Here are Manucurist’s perfect Brat polishes:

Brazil: An ultra-bright, pop green that captures the essence of sunshine, dance, and joy. With this polish, the spirit of Copacabana Beach comes to life on your nails, wrapped in a vibrant green glow.

Artichaut: With its warm yellow undertones, this rich and lively green is perfect for the veggie-lover in you. Neither too subtle nor too flashy, it has just the right amount of boldness to embrace the Brat nails trend with elegance—ideal for a daring summer manicure.

 

The Subtlety of Hidden Greens

For those who love green but prefer a more understated approach, or for anyone unsure about this color—sometimes seen as a lucky charm, sometimes as a sign of misfortune—opt for greens that blend effortlessly with other shades for a softer effect.

Sauge: This gray-green shade with botanical hues is an elegant way to embrace the green polish trend subtly. Chic and calming, this refined color is perfect for those seeking a natural touch with understated charm.

Dark Clover: A mix between teal and deep green, this mysterious and sophisticated shade plays with light to reveal its true depth. A dark, intense polish with shifting reflections, creating an effortlessly elegant and intriguing manicure.

Pro Tips for a Long-Lasting Green Manicure

Fallen for a Green™ nail polish or a Green Flash™ gel polish? Here are some tips to extend the wear of your green manicure and keep your hands looking flawless for longer.

Prep Your Nails Like a Pro

• File your nails to achieve your desired shape and length.

• Apply a bit of Effective Emollient to your cuticles and gently push them back using an orange stick or cuticle pusher.

• Smooth the nail surface gently using a prepping buffer.

• Clean and degrease your nails using Green™ degreaser.

 

Base & Top Coat: The Secret to Long-Lasting Color

• To protect your nails and enhance color longevity, apply a Green™ Base Coat or a Vitamin-Enriched Green Flash™ Base Coat before applying your chosen polish (stick to the same range as your base coat).

• Seal your manicure and enhance its vibrancy with a coat of Top Coat Sunshine or Green Flash™ Top Coat (for Green Flash™ manicures).

 

Hydrate & Protect

• Regularly massage your nails and cuticles with a few drops of Nourishing Cuticle Oil. Daily application, especially in winter, deeply hydrates your nails and helps optimize polish longevity.

• For extra nourishment and strengthening, nothing beats the Nourishing Nail Pen. Enriched with castor oil, vitamin E, and pistachio extracts, this highly concentrated treatment is perfect for on-the-go nail care.
