Burgundy is lovely, but it doesn't have to own every chilly-weather manicure. Forest-green nails are just as rich—and a little less expected. In Vogue's September 22 fall color report, nail artists singled out mossy and deep natural shades for the season. Bessie's Dark Emerald takes the idea into a deep green cat-eye chrome finish on a medium almond shape.

Emerald is the evening version

There's something quietly extravagant about deep green against black, cream, or gold jewelry. The cat-eye sheen in Dark Emerald catches the light without needing extra decoration. It can look almost black from a distance, then reveal its color as your hands move.

For a softer, earthier direction, there's Moss. Think of the difference between an emerald earring and a wool coat in a woodland shade: both belong to the same family, but one is more jewel-like and the other more grounded.

And then there's olive

Olive can be a neutral, especially when it's paired with the colors of your actual wardrobe. Bessie's Olive mixes olive green, black cherry, and red with nude French tips, outlined details, and dots on a medium square shape. It's a graphic take on the palette rather than a plain green set.

For an easy styling rule, wear one deep green element and let the rest of your outfit breathe. If you're in the mood for a lighter, cocktail-inspired take, see our martini-green nail story. Or browse the handmade nail collection for more texture and detail.
