Forest Moss is the green that goes with everything you already own. A deep mossy base carries a fine gold line of light down the centre of each nail — the colour of a forest floor where the sun gets through. It is earthier than emerald and far more wearable, and on a medium coffin the vertical flash visually lengthens the nail. Camel, cream, denim and rust all look better next to it.

How this look is done
- 01Shape to a medium coffin and apply a deep moss-green gel base, curing fully.
- 02Apply the magnetic gel in one even coat, working one nail at a time so it stays wet.
- 03Hold the magnet vertically along the centre of the nail for five seconds to pull a fine line, then cure.
- 04Finish with a glossy top coat and cure to give the gold its depth.
Who it suits
Every undertone — the grey in the moss neutralises it — with olive and deep skin getting the richest result. Coffin and almond shapes suit the vertical flash; on a short square, ask for the line slightly off-centre so it does not look striped. An everyday green rather than an occasion one.
How it wears
Two to three weeks in gel with the line permanently set. The muted base makes regrowth unusually forgiving, and because the flash is gold rather than silver it stays warm under indoor lighting rather than turning grey.
Softer or bolder
Softer: the same technique in olive with a champagne flash. Bolder: emerald with a gold flash pulled diagonally, which turns the quiet version into a jewel.
