If you love the look of ombre nails, there’s certainly one color that needs to get on your radar – olive green!

Olive green ombre nails combine the best of both worlds – a natural-looking color that goes well with almost any outfit, and the popular ombre nail design style that adds some contrast to your manicure and makes it look super stylish.

If you’re thinking about trying the olive green ombre nails styles, there are a few variations of this manicure look you can choose from, which include:

  • Mismatched Look – featuring one ombre nail among a mix of other nail design styles
  • Olive to Beige – this is the most popular color combination for ombre nails, especially if you have shorter nails
  • Half and Half – doing only two or three nails with an ombre design, while the rest uses a single color olive green coat
  • Ombre with Rhinestones – if you keep it simple with an ombre nail design across all your nails, it’s very simple to take the manicure further when the occasion requires it. Simply add some rhinestones on a few nails to transform the way your nails look in an instant.
  • Olive Green with Gold Nail art – one of the most popular looks and a simple way to transform your nails is to add some hand-painted gold nail art
