If you’re trying to decide your next nail color, jewel tones are an excellent choice. Call it the Wicked<\/em> effect, but emerald, in particular, has emerged as one of the most popular gemstone-inspired polish colors as of late. The rich, vibrant shade of green adds a glamorous and regal feel to any manicure.\n<\/p>\n

There are many ways to experiment with the shade; you can opt for minimalist French tips or lean into maximalism with patterned nail art. Regardless of which direction you go in, your emerald-green manicure is bound to be beautiful. Ahead, scroll through 17 of our favorite emerald green nail designs.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
