8 Dark Green Nail Polish Ideas Trending for Winter

Just like wardrobe staples shift for the coldest months of the year, so do manicures. When it comes to manicures that are picture-perfect for winter, darker hues tend to be the star of the show. Instead of reaching for your go-to bottle of navy, plum, oxblood, or slate polish, though, why not try dark green this season for something fresh and perfectly timely?

Whether you hadn't considered the shade before or simply need more inspo, we're here to show you just how pretty dark green nail polish can be. From classic French manicures to abstract swirls and animal prints, ahead you'll find over a dozen dark green nail art ideas to try this winter. Have fun trying to pick just one to recreate.

01 Mint and Evergreen Combo

As beautiful as dark green polish is on its own, pairing it with its palest counterpart can make for a lovely contrast. Here, you can see how well mint and evergreen coincide. To recreate this nail art idea, consider using nail striping tape or an ultra-thin striping brush to perfect the sharp lines.

02 Minimalist Abstract Emerald

Remember: You don’t have to cover your entire nail in dark green polish to make an impact. Here, you can see how a minimalist abstract outlined approach is just as beautiful.

03 Metallic Green French Heart Tips

Considering dark green isn’t the most conventional nail polish color, consider pairing it with a reimagined classic nail art idea. Here, we have a French mani, but instead of smooth, curved lines, the tips are metallic green hearts.

04 Gold Leaf Accents

Green and gold pair beautifully, making this marble-accented nail idea a total show-stopper. Best of all, it won’t take as long to recreate since three of the nails are solid green.

05 Dark Green Mix and Match

Evergreen, sage, and white can make one heck of a palette for a winter-ready nail look, don’t you think? By keeping the wavy accent to one nail per hand and painting the rest in solid colors, you get all the statement with minimal hassle.

06 Chrome Dark Green Nails

With a chrome finish dark green nail polish, you won’t even have to bother with intricate designs. The lacquer will speak for itself.

07 Green and White Angular French Tips

Here we have a sharp, criss-cross French manicure using green and white polish with a slim stripe of silver for a little extra festive flair.

08 High Contrast

Just because you want to rock dark green nail polish doesn’t mean you can’t pair it with a brighter shade. Just look how fun army green and neon coral look paired together.
