10 Gorgeous Gold Nail Designs to DIY or Bring to the Salon
Why try green nails?
Green nails are such a great way to add a pop of color to your look without having to put in much effort. What we love about opting for a green hue is that green is proven to promote feelings of calm and peaceand can make you feel more grounded and connected to nature. And channeling that through your mani is such an easy way to make each day just a little better!
Further, there are so many different shades of green to choose from that make it an excellent year-round color. For example, you may opt for a pastel green hue for the springtime and a darker green for winter. Or maybe you’ll try a bold neon green for the summer.
