No, Not Mint—The Chic Pastel Nail Shade That's Set to Dominate This Season
The pistachio nail trend is the most stylish way to wear pastels this spring. See the look here.
I've been feeling so joyous over the last few days, most likely because the sun is finally shining. Suddenly, I'm finding myself reaching for the most colourful clothes in my wardrobe, and hunting for bright, bold nail trends and nail art designs to match my mood.
While I'm usually one to swerve pastel shades in favour of a minimalist manicure, I have to say, this season, I'm definitely gravitating towards pale yellow and baby pink hues. Mint green nails were also a go-to for me, but according to top nail artists, there's a new green hue that's even trendier. Enter, pistachio nails.
Pistachio Nail Trend
While pistachio nails are nothing new, they seem to be proving particularly popular this season (I first spotted the trend on nail artist Mateja Novakovic's Instagram account), and I can see why. While it's widely considered a pastel colour, this pistachio hue has a beautifully soft, creamy appearance that makes it feel a touch more stylish than your typical spring and summer shades. In my opinion, this manicure is fresh and modern, adding a fun yet subtle pop of colour to your chosen look.
