If someone had told me that I would be seeing pictures of mint green nails this summer, I would have laughed. Don’t get me wrong, I love this color, but after weeks of wearing Essie’s Mint Candy Apple Nail Polish in the early 2000s, I’m done with this pastel color. I was thinking of leaving it. In fact, I think most of us would agree that this bright green color is considered “outdated” now that we’re all leaning toward more neutral, pared-down nail designs.
But now that the sun is out, you’re ready to add a little more color to your manicure. After doing a lot of research, I came to the conclusion that mint green nails are all the rage. We’re sure this “old-fashioned” nail color will be the biggest nail polish trend of summer.
As we all know, not only are searches for mint green nails on the rise on Google Trends, but brands like Dior and Nailberry just launched new mint green nail polishes, and we’re seeing this shade all over Instagram. Masu. It’s safe to say I’ve fallen in love with pastel colors all over again, so I thought it only natural to share some of my favorite mint green nail polishes.
