Deep teal sits between green and navy and is richer than either — the colour of a glass bottle held up to a lamp, which is exactly what the high-gloss glaze turns each nail into. This is the dark manicure for people who refuse winter's default black, navy and red, and on a medium coffin the flat tip gives the gloss a surface to shine from. It flatters every undertone and turns genuinely striking against deep skin.
“Deep teal crème, two coats, under a high-gloss glaze top coat, medium coffin.”

How this look is done
- 01Base coat, then two thin coats of deep teal, floating the second so the colour sets glassy and even.
- 02Cap the free edge on both coats — dark teal shows tip-wear as brightly as any navy.
- 03Let the colour dry fully, then apply one generous coat of a glassy top coat.
- 04For the bottle-glass depth, add a second top coat the next morning — gloss stacked on cured gloss is what reads as glaze.
Who it suits
Every undertone — teal at this depth is as neutral as navy but far less expected. It suits anyone whose winter wardrobe runs to camel, grey or cream, all of which it flatters, and the coffin shape turns it jewel-like.
How it wears
Glaze finishes hide fine wear well because the shine distracts, but refresh the top coat every three days — the depth is the gloss, and a dull glaze is just dark green.
Softer or bolder
Swap teal for deep emerald and it becomes a holiday nail; swap for petrol blue and it goes moodier. Matte top coat turns the bottle to sea glass.
