Inspired by the classic cocktail, these nails use olive greens, metallics and glass-like shine to give a classy yet edgy vibe.
You'll need an olive green nail polish, a nude base coat, metallic accents (like gold or silver polish), a fine nail art brush and a clear topcoat.
The key to your Dirty Martini nails is the green polish, which mirrors the olives in a martini and adds earthy elegance. Choose a muted, matte olive green for a refined look.
For the olive-inspired design, use a dotting tool or small brush to create small oval shapes with dark green polish. Add a tiny red dot inside each oval to represent the pimento.
Incorporate metallic accents like gold or silver. You can add thin stripes or small dots around your olive designs for a touch of luxury
For a modern take on French tips, use the olive green polish for the tips instead of the classic white. This slight alteration gives a nod to the martini theme.
If you're feeling adventurous, try adding martini glass designs to your nails. Fill in the glass with silver or clear polish to mimic the look of a real glass.
Choose one or two accent nails to feature the olive design while keeping the rest of your nails a solid olive green.
Apply fine gold glitter polish to one accent nail or lightly dust it over the entire manicure for a glamorous, martini glass-like shine.
Start with a nude base at the cuticle and blend into olive green at the tips. This creates a subtle transition of colors.
Dirty Martini nails are a chic way to elevate your manicure.
