Green nail polish might not be the most obvious choice for summer 2026, but it's definitely the most stylish. All kinds of green hues are trending right now, including mint, sage, and now, pistachio. According to Fresha, searches for the creamy yellow-green color are up 171%. It makes sense. After all, beauty trends don't often stick to a single category, and pistachio perfumes are everywhere. (Searches for the salty, creamy, and subtly sweet fragrance note are up a whopping 852%.) It seems the internet isn't done embracing gourmand beauty trends. You heard it here first: It's a pistachio-girl summer!

I already named pistachio as one of the most stylish summer pedicure shades, but now, it's made its way into manicures. And as any good beauty editor would do, I've been searching high and low for the best ones on the internet. I've also been curating a list of the best pistachio nail polishes. Keep scrolling to see both.
