Green Nail Polish Trend

How to wear green nail polish

It's not easy being green, as any amphibian will attest. Perhaps even more difficult this season is finding the right shade of similarly hued polish that will make you look like you stepped off the runway (versus looking like you stepped straight of the Keebler Elf treehouse or Kermit's swamp). The newest trend neccessitates a brave burst of green nail polish on your fingertips, in a wide-ranging palette from cool peppermint to deep rainforest green that borders on black: either one looks party-perfect for the holidays. Try a lighter shade of green if you have medium or dark skin and a darker shade of green if you have fair skin. As a rule of thumb, darker nail polishes tend to look better on lighter skin tones, creating extreme contrast for a high fashion effect. To pull off this trendy look with ease, pair green nails with a pop of green in your wardrobe. Wear a tangle of jade jewelry or other green-tinted gemstones around your neck or simply complement green polish with an enormous cocktail ring. You'll see: the combination of fearless nails and bold baubles will make for a fun, flirty conversation starter.
