Beauty and fashion constantly inspire one another, and this summer's hottest nail-polish-color trend [1] takes a cue from Bottega Veneta's viral colorway Parakeet. The bright-green accessories — including bags such as the Teen Jodi Bag [2] and the Mini Pouch [3] — are all over TikTok, and they've made a lasting impact on more than just our wardrobes: people are seeking out the happy shade for their nails [4], giving us the "Bottega-green" nail-polish-color trend.
Every year, the new season brings new nail trends in both the nail-art [5] and color categories. Coined by celebrity manicurist Chaun Legend [6] — whose clients include Zendaya [7], Kylie Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, H.E.R., and more — the Bottega-green nail-polish trend is poised to be everywhere this summer. The shade is vibrant, colorful, and statement-making while still being more wearable than a true neon.
Green nails [8] have been a popular choice since stay-at-home orders began in 2020, with a handful of celebrities wearing the color [9]. Since then, we've seen the nail-polish color morph into various hues, including deep forest, electric neon, and, now, Bottega green.
