Sage Green Is The Subtle Nail Shade You’ll Want To Wear All Spring

We can count on one hand the number of times we've reached for green nail polish at the salon — not because there's anything wrong with the color, but in a world of creamy neutrals and poppy reds, shades of green can get lost in the mix.

The hue shouldn't be overlooked, though, especially the in-between tones that take inspiration from leafy herbs like thyme and sage. Muted greens feel particularly apt for spring: They're less predictable than dusty roses and caramel nudes, but still palatable if punchy, eye-catching oranges and pinks aren't quite your jam.

Ahead, we rounded up our favorite sage-inspired polish colors to use on your next at-home mani day.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Essie Sage You Love Me Gel Couture Polish
If you gravitate toward pale nudes, go for this creamy sage that'll give you the same barely-there effect with a hint of green. You only need two coats for shiny, full-coverage color that lasts.

Zoya Sage Nail Polish

Zoya describes this color as a "mossy sage green cream" — but it's much cuter than actual moss. Each coat goes on pigmented and dries down to a satin finish (kind of like your favorite demi-matte lipstick).

Just think of all the cute loungewear sets you bought that'll look extra cute when paired with this grayish-olive lacquer that's 10-free, too.

This earthy, wearable green is less moss and more matcha latte.

Loud Lacquer Juice Cleanse

So maybe there are no magical health benefits of picking up this polish, but it does come close to the color of a refreshing green juice — which is good enough.
