The earthy green color, known for its signature shade, has been embraced by celebrities including Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. The trend offers versatility, from vibrant powder-like greens to pastel latte shades, and can be applied in various styles such as solid minimalist manicures, French tips, micro art, polka dots, or paired with other colors—exemplified by nail artist Queenie Nguyen's strawberry matcha nails.
