This season’s weather goes hand in hand with dark rouge and moody noir nail shades, but with the winter blues still lingering, we’re in need of some cheering up. and that’s where a mood-boosting mani comes in.

Not quite as bright as the pastel mints we normally start to crave around springtime, nor as green as the trendy matcha colour we saw everywhere at the end of last year, jade is the unlikely nail shade you’re about to see everywhere.

If you remember that Kermit green shade that was everywhere back in 2018, this is its more subtle, subdued sister.

Jade symbolises luck and good fortune, and it’s the ideal muted greeny-blue shade we’ve been searching for to help brighten up those dark mornings.

Whether you’re embracing the cool-toned shade on its own or looking to experiment with some marble effects to resemble the gemstone itself, we’ve rounded up the best jade nail inspiration.

This unexpected nail shade is the perfect antidote to the winter blues
