Maybe it's because the colour represents the lush greenery that comes with summer or because it feels fresh and calming, but bright green nail polish has been the colour of choice for quite a few celebrities' first manicures post stay-at-home orders [1].

It's already been established that your nail colour can boost your mood [2]. Psychologically speaking, green is the colour of balance, renewal, health, and growth — and who doesn't need more of that right now? Maybe the increase in green nail designs amid COVID-19 is because celebrities are trying to add a bit of fun to their time at home.

We're loving the different takes on the green nail trend for summer [3], whatever the reasoning for it is. Ahead, we rounded up a few celebrities who are wearing the green nail trend post stay-at-home orders.

Rita Ora's Green Manicure With Lightning Bolts

Rita Ora, with the help of manicurist Michelle Humphreys [4], decorated her green nail polish with nail art in the shape of white lightning bolts. She liked the design so much that she got it on her toes, too.

Camila Mendes's Minimal Green Manicure

Camila Mendes went for a minimal manicure with pastel-green french tips [7] and a tiny hand-painted cactus on her middle finger by Thuy Nguyen [8]. She chose this design to celebrate the release of her newest film, Palm Springs, on Hulu.
