The green color of gel polish is demanding on the shape and length of the nail plates.
The darker it is, the brighter it looks on the nails, and it also becomes more selective in terms of decor and color contrasts.
Often this color does not at all stand the rivalry with sparkling decor, since the luster can simplify the nobility of the texture of the selected varnish. However, it goes well with various powder materials, through which you can refine the design.Green gel polish is expressive, which can be conveyed in the manner of design execution. This is used by the nail service masters, relying on texture and expressiveness, showing all their creative potential.
However, the color itself, depending on saturation and temperature, is not suitable for all age groups.
If a bleached greenish shade can still be somehow entered into the strict rules of the dress code, then a bright manicure in green can sometimes seem too catchy. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice of design thoroughly, taking into account the purpose and style of clothing. And it is also important to take into account the fact that the green color should not exactly copy the tone of the main clothes. For greater expressiveness and noble contrast in the light, it looks better when in harmony with accessories. Despite the apparent calm, not every green tone in the manicure will delight its mistress all the time while she is wearing this coating.

Technicians
Green gel polish can be used for any manicure technique known today.
This is a classic, two varieties of jacket (traditional and reverse), a version with holes, a gradient, a veil, broken glass.
You can also combine techniques with each other, create them through the game of different textures. For example, you can use matte and glossy green polish to coat nails, creating with their help a classic French design with a matte background and a glossy smile. You can use the negative space technique, leaving a small portion of the plate unpainted. You can create accents in this way by imitating a nail that has grown by about a centimeter, by drawing a hole at its base and filling it with silver glitter. A lunar design with holes in the form of elongated triangles extending from the base of the nails to the top edge will look beautiful.
A chic design option can be created by choosing the idea of a vertical, horizontal gradient as the basis.
At the same time, on one accent nail, the ombre effect can be performed in two opposite directions. Say, on top of an ordinary stretch mark, you can draw a contrast vertical, make a smooth transition of contrasting shades, sprinkle them with powder. If you don’t like this solution, you can even make an ombre with a stretch of shades from finger to finger, choosing related tones of green for each fingernail.
The veil is worth choosing for background accents. A translucent base in dark colors will allow you to create a particularly spectacular and elegant design. The veil coating, which is the backdrop for decoration, brings lightness and elegance to the design, to preserve which you need to be extremely careful about the choice of decor. As for the “broken glass”, this option is more suitable for evening sets.
Such accents need a dosage so that the design does not lose its high status.
Which decor to choose?
Today, the buyer is so sophisticated with all kinds of materials for decorating manicure that it is sometimes difficult for us to choose it from the rich list of offers.
However, fashion has its favorites this season.
- Different powder materials are a priority. They allow you to play on the contrast of the texture in the design or even create a three-dimensional picture.This is very important for the design of nails: with acrylic powder, you can add aesthetics to lace curls, a knitted pattern, and emphasize the elegance of a particular design.
- As for the second, the focus is on the varieties “mermaid”, “May beetle” and “northern lights”. It is important to choose a veil with small and weightless nacre, such polyester powders more aesthetically change the texture of green gel polish. In addition to a small-fraction veil, yuki flakes are in demand. They can simulate a jacket on long extended nails.
- The actual use of transfer or tear-off foil. This decor allows you to decorate the surface of the working background in a matter of seconds. It goes well with the slider design and a variety of stickers on a sticky backing. Touching upon the theme of aqua stickers, one cannot but mention the demand for varieties on a transparent substrate of an island type. They are easy to fix and due to the transparent base do not limit the wizard in choosing the background for an accent nail.
- Hand painting of nails is very popular. To date, it has been elevated to real art. In this case, you can highlight the watercolor painting, which is performed with water-based watercolor paints. To date, such a design for nail service masters is more expensive than other options.
- Green color is an excellent occasion for revealing the possibilities of texture. Therefore, for the decor of accents, sparkles are used and sealed with stained glass varnishes, applying them with a very thin layer. At the same time, it is fashionable to decorate the design with a bend-gradient. The same paints are painted in a contrasting tone.
- The use of liquid stones is megaactual, inlaid nails with Swarovski crystals are in fashion. However, it is important not to overdo it with the amount of decor, because the same rhinestones are ways to simplify the design against a noble green background. Therefore, the arrangement of sparkling elements should be point and dosed. Crystals do not mold on all fingers, they will look better with a modest arch in the cuticle area, instead of buds or buds of leaves, dew drops or a modest middle of a flower.
Matching Nail Art
If you want the design to attract attention, you can choose the theme of geometry. All kinds of triangles, elongated rectangles, circles, ovals, and even unpainted volumetric figures will look very impressive on the design accents. And silver or bronze laces and monograms look unrealistically cool on a dark green background. To add status, you can create a spray effect on a black substrate.
The most popular design topics that fit the green color of gel polish are flowers, branches, plants, leaves.
As for the latter, even golden streaks can be painted on a green matte background, which will look very impressive. And animalistic prints returned to fashion, so the African theme with panthers, cougars and other wild cats will be quite relevant.
It should be noted and the seasonality of modern design, which affects the mood and design. For the summer, in addition to plant and flower themes, these are insects, a variety of beetles, birds and feathers. In the fall, you can decorate your nails with ear patterns. By the way, this is an excellent occasion to place rhinestones on the spikelets, imitating grain. So sparkling decor will be harmoniously integrated into the design. For winter, the best solution would be knitted textures and drawings of sweaters with deers, snowmen and snowflakes. As for spring, this is the time of early flowers and first feelings. You can decorate nails with marshmallows, sweets, hearts. Compositional drawings are also in fashion, but they will look better on a light green background.
For bright and dark shades, you need to be limited by the high cost of the texture of the main pigment.
