Spring\u2019s favorite place to find beauty inspiration? Your local coffee shop. We\u2019ve seen everything from blueberry milk<\/a> to glazed donuts referenced as the must-have manicure of the season, and next up is the verdant matcha.<\/p>\n With hundreds of years of history in both China and Japan, matcha<\/a> is made from finely ground green tea leaves, which are then mixed into hot water as tea or in milk as a latte. Matcha is known not only for its earthy taste but also for its signature green color\u2014which everyone from Hailey Bieber<\/a> to Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>, and even Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams\u2014finds compelling.<\/p>\n Depending on how you like your matcha\u2014and your nails\u2014you could opt for a more vibrant green, like the powder itself, or something a bit more pastel<\/a>, like a latte. No matter which shade you choose, though, you can incorporate the color into your nails in a variety of ways, from a solid, minimalist manicure<\/a> to French tips<\/a>, micro art, polka dots<\/a>, or paired with another color \u00e0 la nail artist Queenie Nguyen\u2019s<\/a> strawberry matcha nails. So, here are some of our favorite matcha-inspired manicures to bring to your next salon appointment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
