Brat green is officially in vogue. The âuglyâ shade is a trend that was set in motion by the singer Charli XCX, whose new album Brat was brought to life by a specific shade of slime green, which meant it would only be a matter of time before the mood reached our fingertips.
From Vogue World: Paris to Main Street, the nail world is swapping blueberry milk, butter yellowâand any number of other ice cream pastels typically associated with summerâfor brat green. Not quite neon, the lime shade is more eye-catching than emerald and khaki, and is ever so slightly offâ¦even a bit ugly. Which is exactly why itâs so compelling.
Manicurist Eri Narita was behind the brat-green French tips seen at Vogue World; she revealed that her initial inspiration was the greens found in and around a tennis court, from the grass to the balls. She also added a 3D âVâ on modelsâ ring fingers, ensuring the nails looked elevated and chic.

Elsewhere, the pregnant model and British Vogue cover girl Adwoa Aboah added a brat-green manicure to her leopard-print ensemble for her baby shower. Worn as a block color on short nails, Aboah’s statement shade was unmissable as she caressed her bump. Hailey Bieber is also a fan, having tried glow-in-the-dark green in the past.
The trend isnât only for daring, alternative dressers. Even those manicurists who are famous for their clean-girl aesthetic have experimented with the lookâGeorgia Rae recently posted brat-green French tips on her feed.
