Nail shades like red, pink, and white are classic no matter the time of year, but sometimes it's fun to branch out and try a new polish colour when the season turns. This year, the spring nail polish trends [1] feature a couple of different variations of green, like sage.

While other popular options of the hue include chartreuse, thanks to "The White Lotus," [2] and olive green nails, sage-green nails specifically are primed to be all over the beach and your Instagram feed in the coming months. The colour is light and airy, giving it the ability to moonlight as a neutral (while being more fun than your traditional nude). Even better, the subtle green hue looks flattering on all nail shapes [3] and lengths, whether you like extra-long stiletto extensions or prefer to wear your natural nails short.

"This milky and minty green reminds me of my favourite matcha latte — I simply cannot get enough," Mazz Hanna, CEO of Nailing Hollywood Agency [4], previously told POPSUGAR, of the colour.

With the right nail polish, this creamy colour is eye-catching enough to wear alone, especially if you're a minimalist when it comes to your beauty choices. However, if nail art is your specialty, popular sage-green nail designs include flowers, french tips [5], and swirls — though, your options are only as limited as your imagination.

Sage-Green Nail Polishes

To get the trend, grab a bottle of the Aprés Gel Polish in Tea Leaf [6] (£17), Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Cavalier Seul [7] (£29), or the Nailberry Nail Varnish in Love You Very Matcha [8] (£16).
