Marbled olive mani

Will marbled manicures ever go out of style? I love the look of this raised nail art, and olive green swirled with a creamy white nail base adds a striking touch to this acrylic nail design.

Olive Green Aura Nails

Aura nails are definitely trending so far in 2025, making this an excellent choice for a fashion-forward look. Blend a muted orange into the center of the olive green nail polish for a perfect fall aura design and complete the look with rich brown borders.

Graceful Frenchmen

Are you going for something effortless and stylish? French tips definitely fit the bill here, so use your favorite olive green nail polish to add a hint of this shade to square nude nails.

Olive-inspired

Create a playful, olive-inspired manicure with this nail polish color. Paint short nails solid olive green and add a red dot to mimic the look of real olives. This simple design is easy to make yourself and is ideal for a chic and fun summer nail design.

Elegant and earthy

For a sophisticated yet grounded manicure, pair solid olive nails with olive green French tips. This simple design has a classic look, making it perfect for everything from everyday use to a special occasion.

Abstract green nails

Go for something bold, modern and youthful with an abstract collage-style design. Olive polish combines beautifully with lighter shades of green and deep brown for a rich yet muted palette.

I love this for a fun event in 2025, whether you’re going on vacation or to a concert!

Muted plaid

Muted tones and plaid print create the ultimate fall nail design! The brown nail polish with this olive green is a classic color choice, while the blue adds a bright and unexpected pop of color.

White stitching details and a nude base for the French tips contrast these deep shades with lighter shades, creating a chic and balanced finish.

Chessboard chic

Nails with checkerboard accents add a retro vibe to these nails, and I love the effortlessly cool look here. This design would be my top choice for a chic, casual aesthetic with a touch of vintage flair!

Magnetic olive nails

According to the famous manicurist Miss Pop: “By 2025, the nails will catch all the light.” Predicted as one of the top trends for this year, cat eye nails and glittering designs have definitely stayed on top.

I’m obsessed with the combination of a dark olive shade and the high-shine, shimmery top coat. It adds a bright and attractive effect to this deep tone, making it a perfect choice for something simple yet stunning!

Olive green + gold spots

Pairing green and gold is a no-brainer, and this classic duo is taken even further by marbled nail art. The lighter shade of olive green makes this look ideal for a spring or summer wedding. However, this color can be worn all year round for a beautiful, elegant manicure.

Whimsical nail art

Long almond nails are perfect canvases for whimsical and ethereal nail art. Use two shades of green to add depth to your mani, and add graceful, mystical gold nail art to the darker nail polish to recreate this look.

Cat-Eye French Mani

Combine trendy cat-eye art with elegant French tips. This combination is ideal for a stylish yet modern look, and I recommend choosing this chic design for a formal event, such as a wedding or family dinner.

Olive + Turtle Shell

Tortoise shell and olive green are one of my favorite combinations for fall. This playful animal print has a warm and cozy appearance, while the cool green offers a subtle contrast and a bright appearance.

Asymmetric tips with gold

According to Byrdie, “framed nails are a cool way to experiment with negative space,” and I completely agree! Start with asymmetrical olive green tips and add a gold border around your nails for a stylish, minimalist design in 2025.

Classic design

If you’re a fan of simple, solid-colored nails:olive green nail polish is a fantastic choice for that!

Rich and earthy, this shade adds a fresh yet grounded feel to any ensemble. Although this shade is traditionally associated with fall, you can also wear it in summer for a subtle, moody look.

White floral arrangements and gemstones

Speaking of summer, any color is suitable for a warm-weather nail design in combination with retro-style flowers! A brighter olive green is perfect for this, and I definitely recommend adding the gemstone details for a fun and glamorous touch.

Muted olive

A deeper, muted olive shade is a great choice for a fall design:that’s why this manicure looks perfect with that cozy knitted sweater.

I absolutely love this shade on its own, although you can add gold embellishments for a more modern and trendy look.

Rounded tips

Deep, earthy olive green nail polish looks beautiful on soft, round, feminine nails. Choose this design if you are looking for a sleek and classic style that still adds a subtle pop of color to your outfits.

Green + beige marbling

Add to the earthy atmosphere of olive green with a soft, comfortable beige shade. These shades have a classic yet warm look and the marbling is ideal for an elegant design that is still suitable for everyday use.

Olive with pink stars

Pink and green is really my favorite color combination! I love the balance between these feminine and masculine colors, and these pink stars are a must for something unique and playful. This fun design would be a fantastic choice for a concert look or a girls’ night out!

Pearl decorations

I don’t know about you, but I always think pearls look chic. I love the clustered design on the two accent nails above; it creates an elegant and balanced design that is perfect for a 2025 holiday look!
