I cannot be the only person with a searing memory of being in elementary school and having some cooler-than-me girl tell me that I should never wear green nail polish because it’s “too witchy.” Two decades later, I can confidently say that girl was so wrong.
Green is one of those super-versatile nail polish colors that can be easily worn and re-worn to fit the season. From Kelly greens to ring in springtime to darker tones in the winter, there are endless possibilities with this color—it looks great on any skin tone, with any nail shape or length, and it’s perfect for getting that nails-with-iced-latte pic. It’s the kind of nail color that you’ll keep glancing down at for a little hit of dopamine throughout your day, because it’s just that perfect. Whether you decide to go earthy or neon, sage or olive, green nails are guaranteed to give you the exact right amount of witchy vibes. Here are 20 green nail ideas to inspire you next time you’re at the salon.
