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 color when the season turns. This year, the spring nail-polish trends feature a couple of different variations of green, like sage.

While other popular options of the hue include chartreuse – thanks to “The White Lotus” – and olive green, sage-green nails in particular are primed to be all over the beach and your Instagram feed in the coming months. The color 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 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 favorite matcha latte – I simply cannot get enough,” Mazz Hanna, CEO of Nailing Hollywood Agency, previously told POPSUGAR.

With the right nail polish, this creamy color 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, and swirls – though your options are only as limited as your imagination.

Sage-Green Nail Inspiration

To get the trend, some sage green nail polish options include Aprés Gel Couleur in Tea Leaf ($15), Zoya Satin in Sage ($12), Essie Nail Lacquer in Turquoise & Caicos ($10), and Sundays Nail Polish in No. 30 ($18). If you prefer to go to a nail salon over painting your nails at home, find inspiration for some sage-green nails to bring to your next appointment ahead.
