5 Green Nails to Wear This Season: Swatches From The Atelier

Our greenery-filled nail salon in Philadelphia.

As Philadelphians, we find ourselves passionate about the color green. While there’s definitely a range in the enthusiasm our clients at Atelier Anaiis have for Eagles football, as autumn and its falling leaves march on towards us, juniper, hunter green, olive, and pistachio nails have beautifully saturated our already greenery-filled Philadelphia nail salon.

A dark green like hunter and pine are elegant and luxurious by nature, making it the perfect gel manicure pairing as heavier fabrics roll into colder-weather wardrobes. And we’d be hard-pressed to find a more versatile and timeless shade. Below are five green gel nails to wear this season.
