Tips for Making Green Summer Nails Last
Green pigments — especially neon limes and deep emeralds — can fade in strong sun, so finish with a UV-protective glossy top coat and refresh it every few days through swimming season. Chlorine can also dull brighter shades, so rinse your hands after the pool, keep cuticle oil in your beach bag, and touch up any chips quickly, because green shows regrowth and wear sooner than nude shades do.
From a single daisy on mint to a full set of tropical leaves, green proves it can do every summer mood from whisper-soft to full neon. Pick your shade, book the appointment, and let your nails grow into the season.
