Matcha Mani(A): These are the trendiest nail colors we'll be wearing in fall 2025

Intense green, milky, or perhaps shimmery? Matcha is moving from mugs to nails, becoming influencers' favorite shade for fall 2025!

Fall 2025 has the flavor and color of matcha . The green hue , which has slowly crept into mugs, beauty rituals, and fashion feeds over the past few years, is now making its way onto nails . Among it-girls, matcha-latte nails symbolize the beginning of the fall season.

The matcha trend has been sweeping social media for several years now. First, it was in mugs – as lattes , smoothies , and sorbets . Then, it made its way into skincare (masks, scrubs, mists), fashion ( matcha aesthetic went viral on TikTok), and now… it's entered manicure salons .

According to TikTok data, the hashtag #matchanails has already garnered over 105 million views. Its popularity isn't solely based on aesthetic appeal, however—it's a color that's become a visual symbol of slowing down, a fashion equivalent of the tea ritual. Okay, but does green on nails look captivating? How so!

In nail stylists' interpretations, the color can be both minimalistic and richly detailed. It can be used solo, as a French manicure, in a milky version, or with an ultra-high gloss finish.

"My social media feed is flooded with photos of glazed nails and matcha lattes. Both of these trends are having a moment right now, and I realized we could combine them," said Daisy Kalnina, founder and CEO of The GelBottle Inc., as quoted by Glamour.

In fall 2025, the matcha shade won't just appear on nails . According to WhoWhatWear, dill green —a mix of lime and forest green—has emerged as a key color in the fall/winter 2025 collections of brands like Saint Laurent , Hermès , and Tom Ford , paired with tones of plum, chocolate, and burgundy.

L'Officiel USA also notes that the AW 2025 color palette is wide-ranging: from electric blues to golden hues, and yes, clear, vibrant green tones. All of this aligns with the return-to-basics trend and an eco-friendly aesthetic. Furthermore, green is the color of peace, and what more do we need in uncertain times?
