No thoughts just—dirty martini nails are the 2026 manicure trend I’m cosigning, and honestly, you’re welcome to hate them. Let’s be real: olive green is the it color for winter, and I’m here for it. Think of it like your favorite cocktail—simple, sophisticated, and somehow just right. Celebs like Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber have been flexing their olive-green manis like it’s the ultimate fashion flex, and I’m not mad. Why? Because this shade is basically a mood. It’s the kind of color that screams “I’m chill, but I’m also very aware of my vibe.”
Olive green isn’t just for short, glossy nails either. Long almond-shaped nails? Yep, that works. Square tips? Obsessed. The key is to play with texture—matte vs. glossy, or pair it with pops of pink or gold. I saw a nail artist turn olive into a 3D masterpiece with tiny olives and pimentos, and I was like, yes, this is what art looks like. Pro tip: Don’t be scared to mix it up. A dark olive on square nails is my new obsession, and pairing it with a soft pink? Chef’s kiss.
If you’re new to the olive game, start with a mid-tone like Essie’s “Spunky Olive” or OPI’s “Spanish Olive” for that plump, glossy feel. For a deeper vibe, go with Manicurist’s “Khaki” or Essie’s “Pine Leaf” (bonus: it’s inspired by nature, which is basically the ultimate flex). And yes, Hermès’ limited-edition olive polish is still worth the wait—just don’t cry when it’s sold out.
Key points: Olive green is a year-round flex, especially in winter. Pair it with pink or gold for a chic contrast. Invest in quality polishes for that rich, lived-in look.
