There are rules for how to combine shades of green with each other. For example, marsh should be complemented with exceptionally warm tones, and only cold tones are suitable for emerald and mint. Classic paints that suit any shade include white, gray and black.
It should be noted that this is not a limited range of colors that can be considered, to make the image stylish - specialists offer many options:
- yellow and red are suitable for the green color of young grass;
- emerald is well complemented by dark purple, pale pink, blue, various shades of burgundy;

- for marsh, brown, bright canary and cherry are preferred.

If a green dress was purchased, then you should not immediately do a manicure of the corresponding color - there is no need for this. In this case, it is better to prefer a completely different tone. Even if it is required to design the nails in accordance with the tone of the clothes, the varnish should differ from the color of the dress - it must be chosen either darker or lighter. You can do it differently: make a small decoration on the nails with elements of greenery, while the main tone should be universal (white or black) or contrasting, provided that it is successfully combined with the dress.
If there is any doubt as to whether an extravagant nail design will suit a new emerald-colored dress, then it is best to turn to the classic style of nail art - in this case, a jacket will always help you out. So that the result of the work does not look boring and blurry, you need to do a French manicure in bright or delicate shades of pink or outline the edge of the nail plates with a contrasting red or black color. The base can be done in shades of green. The same option should be considered if you do a moon manicure.
Perhaps a challenge may arise: creating a manicure for a new green dress with short nails. When solving such a problem, the basic rule should be taken into account: the coating of the nails should be monochromatic. When choosing a color, you should prefer dark tones of green, various shades of blue, plum or bright red, and from pastel tones, beige is suitable.
The shade of the manicure must be selected depending on whether the color of the new dress belongs to a cold or warm tone. You should not place various patterns, ornaments or patterns on your nails. For those around you, the main focus will be the dress, therefore, the manicure, being in the background, should have a minimum of graphic elements.If you still want to diversify, then you can choose the classic options for a jacket or ombre, which will not be able to overload the new image.
With long nails, you can create a variety of green manicure options. With additional decor, it is advisable to create a manicure only on the condition that the outfit has one color scheme. If it has different colors, then the manicure should be monochromatic. On long nails, light pastel shades of pink, blue, yellow look good, which make a special bright accent on the length. Nail decor with a predominance of green can only be placed on one or two nails of each hand.
A bright red or burgundy manicure will look spectacular against the background of a dress of the color of fresh grass. For a dark dress, you need a manicure with a predominance of delicate pastel shades.
