Cool, earthy tones are all the rage this year, and we can see why. Olive green, and its close cousin, sage green, exude sophistication and elegance while echoing the muted tones of nature.

If you’re looking for extra sparkle or other added details to include in your manicure, take a look at these 25 classy nail designs below. Whether you’re DIYing your manicure or visiting your favorite nail tech, there are plenty of ideas that are worth saving for later!
