10 Mint Green Nail Designs For A Fresh Spring Mani
It’s *the* pastel of the season.
Move over, butter yellow — the newest pastel nail trend is a surprising throwback. Mint green nails are here for spring, proving demure hues aren’t going anywhere this season.
Green nails in general have been making a case for themselves over the past year. As the girlies ordered extra dirty martinis in droves, #NailTok saw olive manis dominate last fall. Before that, chrome green nails had a moment. Now, mint green is taking its crown as the next green nail trend on everyone’s fingers.
Maybe the lingering Wicked hype has something to do with the dominating mani colors, as pinky pastel hues are also currently trending — just look at Hailey Bieber’s pink frosting nails and Kylie Jenner’s pink French tips. Whether you’re channeling your inner Elphaba or you’re a green-curious Glinda, the minty shade is surprisingly wearable.
Mint green was a major 2000s staple, too, so it has nostalgic vibes. The Y2K Tumblr-era color gives Aquamarine, but all grown up. Effortlessly cool, yet understated and approachable, this nail trend is refreshing and perfect for spring.
As an added bonus? According to the “green nail theory,” all shades that fall under this category can help you tap into abundance, as the color supposedly boosts your confidence and calmness, helping you lean into your it girl energy. And when you believe you can manifest anything, abundance follows.
