We love green nails
The delicacy of soft greens
If you're looking for a delicate, refined look with a touch of colour, soft green polishes are ideal. They enhance every skin tone while remaining subtle. Nail polish shades that evoke spring, blooming nature and sunshine.
Mint: this beautiful minty shade will make you feel like a water nymph emerging from a turquoise lagoon. It flatters fair and sun-kissed skin alike. A must-have colour for a fresh, on-trend manicure.
Pistachio: this pale green with subtle yellow undertones looks good enough to eat. Its luminous, natural effect makes it perfect for a chic manicure or spring nail art. An irresistibly on-trend colour for short and long nails alike.
The bold character of powerful greens
For those who want to show off a bold pop of colour, nothing beats these deep greens with natural, sophisticated and confident tones. Each shade brings a touch of glamour, ideal for perfect nail art or an elegant summer manicure in the season’s key colours.
Poison: this sparkling fir green captivates with its rich, intense colour. The depth of the shade makes it elegant, while its glitter finish adds a little touch of fun and modernity for a polished look.
Khaki: with its grey undertones, this khaki-green polish is ideal for an elegant, confident classic manicure. Pairing it with lighter shades such as pale pink or white creates a timeless, unconventional look with a playful touch.
Jade: this timeless mineral green is a must for finding calm and serenity. Its subtle, deep shade gives nails natural poise, making it an ideal base for a French manicure with a line of white polish or golden glitter.
The Brat green wave
With the return of Y2K style, the Brat nails trend is on every fashion radar. Inspired by American singer Charli XCX’s hit album Brat, this manicure goes against nude polishes and the clean girl trend. The key idea: wear a neon green shade identical to the album cover, simply. Here are the Brat polishes from the Manucurist palette:
Brazil: an ultra-bright pop green that pays tribute to sunny, dance-loving places full of joy and good cheer. With this polish shade, Copacabana beach comes right to your fingertips, dressed in vibrant green.
Artichaut: with its yellow undertones, this warm, appetising green is made for your inner veggie. Not too restrained or too eccentric, with just enough brightness to channel the Brat nails spirit elegantly, it’s perfect for a bold summer manicure.
The subtlety of hidden greens
For those who love green but not too much, those who don't know what to make of this colour that is sometimes lucky, sometimes synonymous with bad luck, opt for two-faced greens that blend in by mixing with other colours.
Sauge: this botanical grey-green is an elegant way to embrace the green polish trend discreetly. Elegant and soothing, this subtle shade is perfect if you’re looking for an understated touch of nature.
Dark Clover: somewhere between teal blue and teal green, this deep, mysterious shade plays with the light to reveal its full richness. A dark, intense polish with shifting reflections for an elegant, intriguing manicure.

Our tips for making your green manicure last
Fallen for a green Green™ nail polish or a green Green Flash™ semi-permanent polish? Here are a few tips to extend the wear of your green manicure and keep your hands looking lovely for longer. The same routine works with every bio-based nail polish in the Green™ range, whatever shade you choose.
Prepare your nails like a pro
-
File the edge of the nail to achieve the desired shape and length.
-
Apply a little Effective Cuticle Softener to your cuticles, then gently push them back with an orange-wood stick or cuticle pusher.
-
Gently smooth the nail plate with a prep file.
-
Clean and degrease your nails with the Green™ Degreaser.
Base Coat and Top Coat: the secret to long-lasting wear
-
To protect your nails and make the colour last, apply Base Coat Green™ or Vitamin-enriched Base Coat Green Flash™ before a coat of your chosen polish (staying within the same range as the Base Coat).
-
Protect your manicure and make its colour pop with a coat of Top Coat Sunshine or Green Flash™ (for a Green Flash™ manicure).
Hydrate and protect
-
Regularly massage your nails and cuticles with a few drops of Green Oil. Doing this daily, especially in winter, helps deeply hydrate your nails and extend the wear of your polish.
-
If your nails and cuticles need nourishing and strengthening, reach for Perfecting Concentrate, a highly concentrated treatment with castor oil, vitamin E and pistachio extracts that you can take anywhere.
As you can see, green nails are an endless source of inspiration for manicures and nail art. This ultra-trendy colour lets you embrace a fresh, unconventional style in every season. So grab your brushes and nail polishes, and let your passion for green nails bloom. 💚💚💚
