Green Nails Are the Unexpected Trend That Will Be Everywhere This Winter

But as Kandalec mentions, the color is unconventional, so it can be intimidating to try it, even just on your nails. (For what it’s worth, I’m personally obsessed with Gucci’s green and find it surprisingly lengthening on my stubby nails). Which is why she recommends easing into the trend with some nail art. “Green can be a less common shade to wear, but lucky for us, it flows perfectly with nail art—flower petals and stems, fall and winter flannel plaid print—and with holiday nails as well—holiday wreaths, Christmas trees, holiday lights—making December the perfect time to try it out,” she says. And if you’re still feeling tame, the Pinterest-favorite darker greens are the perfect way to dip a finger in the trend, for holiday and beyond.
