The blue color scheme has been steadily at the peak of popularity for several years now. The current season was no exception. Blue manicure perfectly harmonizes with any fashionable delights in clothing, as well as the personal preferences and habits of beautiful ladies. The charm of rich cornflower blue or deep dark tones emphasizes the chosen style and becomes an exclusive finishing touch that defines the image. Light shades are no less beautiful - soft smoky, crystal bluish, turquoise. The azure palette is ideal for young girls, perky beauties and strict, impeccable ladies. You just need to choose the right shade and decor that suits the situation and mood.
Every year, nail artists present new, unique designs to fashionistas, offering magnificent combinations of different techniques and accessories. These marigolds are relevant in any season, regardless of the weather outside and everyday activities. This is one of the most versatile options. It is in demand not only for holidays, dates with a loved one or a trip to the sea. Suitable for the business atmosphere of an office or personal office; they can emphasize a serious mood before an important interview, or be worn to college or work.
Light and dark colors provide an excellent platform for creativity. The impact on others and the opinions they form depend on the design and the emphasis placed. Marigolds can speak of a frivolous, carefree romantic mood, or create the image of a serious, responsible girl who can be entrusted with a difficult task.
Many women prefer to be guided by the time of year when choosing a style. In this case, you should listen to the advice of experts:
- In spring and summer, rich cornflower blue, sky blue, and turquoise are in demand. Also, the mesmerizingly deep “night sky” is popular, when dark blue smoothly turns into black, and stars twinkle in the depths;
- in the spring, the decoration is transparent drops, images of bright blooming flowers, exotic plants, birds;
- A win-win winter trend is a combination with a white color scheme. Associated with endless snow-covered expanses, bluish-silver frosty patterns, and the boundless blue of the clear sky above. This design is usually complemented with New Year's and snowy accents - snowflakes, Christmas trees, Christmas tree decorations and even images of New Year's and Christmas fairy-tale characters.
Nail designers recommend combining rich and delicate blue tones with silver, snowy, sunny yellow, turquoise green, and lilac. Also, they are perfectly complemented by nude, black, pink, and marine themes.

Stylish, beautiful design for blue manicure
Cornflower blue or light blue marigolds are the hit of the current season. This background is great for creative solutions, fantastic delights or traditionally gentle ideas. The main task of a fashionista or nail artist is to dilute the monochromatic palette with suitable contrasting or similar colors, to select jewelry or the theme of the drawings. There are several general rules to follow:
- short nails look better in a heavenly, frosty bluish and silver design. Nude and transparent coatings are acceptable, combined with a French coat. Sunny lemon and gold look great;
- short ones are decorated with vertical stripes, broken lines, strict geometry;
- It is recommended to place sparkling decor on 1-2 fingers of both hands, so as not to overdo it with provocative accents. For this, all modern achievements of the nail industry are used;
- Don't avoid matte tops this season.
Also, it is worth considering that massive crystals are glued as close to the root as possible. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the nail will break at the most inopportune moment.
Blue manicure - who will suit it?
Light blue tones in manicure are suitable for fashionistas who want to move away from traditional red shades and add harmony to the image. This is a truly versatile color. The main rule when choosing the right tone is to take into account seasonality.
In winter, it is better to choose cold shades of the blue palette - icy, white-blue, watery, pearl and others. But in the summer it is better to use warm, bright colors; they will also be relevant in the spring. But for autumn, thick, dusty colors are better suited - blue distance, powder, curacao, ethereal and others.
There are no restrictions on the length of blue nails either. For those with short nails, this shade will be the solution - a manicure in heavenly tones will make your hands graceful. The design looks especially impressive against such a background. There is only one rule here - appropriateness and restraint.
Interesting: there are 119 fashionable shades of blue in the Panton palette. And their names are sometimes very poetic and interesting - the color of a whisper, morning fog, the color of slightly cloudy water, the stratosphere, silence. There's even a hint of the Nile. Agree that wearing a coating on your nails, for example, the color of a bachelor’s button, is very extravagant. But it's definitely beautiful.
Blue manicure with rhinestones
As soon as they appeared on the market, rhinestones firmly won the hearts of fashionistas. With crystals of different cuts, shapes and sizes, you can easily create exactly the effect that is needed at the moment. There are no restrictions on types of coatings or techniques. The stones look equally great on a monochrome or matte background, emphasizing the charm of a “cat’s eye” or ombre shimmer. Create amazing accents for pastel, white bases. Here are the recommendations of nail designers:
- accentuate 1-2 fingers;
- rhinestones are complemented not only with drawings, but also with foil and glitter;
- silver and gold products look most advantageous on snow-white, nude, and pastel surfaces;
- a magnificent effect is created by stones that match the color of the coating, but 2-3 shades darker or lighter.
The decor is suitable for all age categories, for casual or office wear, evening, carnival outfits.
Nude spring manicure 2022
Nude manicure, which is as close as possible to natural flesh tones, is especially relevant in the spring of 2022 in beige, light tones of pink and lilac, milky, cream. The most current nude manicure designs for spring 2022: elegant classic French, minimalistic and stylish lunar design, decor using multi-colored mirror rub and foil decorations, gradient or ombre, plant and animal prints on a delicate nude base with a glossy or matte surface.
Blue manicure with foil
It is recommended to use different techniques with metallized elements: gradient, French, stucco. Pieces of any size are suitable, from the smallest to large ones that cover the entire surface. Multi-colored foil, strict geometric stripes or openwork vignettes look great.
In addition to metal, other decorative elements are widely used - abstract and plot images, inscriptions, pebbles, stickers, kamifubuki. It should be understood that foil looks most advantageous on a deep, dark blue surface.
Shimmering shimmer
Glitter, rubbing, sparkles and rhinestones - today nail art is full of ways to skillfully convey the sun's reflections on water, even on nails. Choose the shade you want - dark blue, light blue, cornflower blue, sapphire and azure in a brilliant design will definitely create a wow effect.

Matte blue manicure
The matte finish looks gorgeous in blue. The velvety texture softens the rich shades of cornflower blue, heavenly, and deep violet. The colors of the varnishes are selected according to the mood, suitable for the outfit or occasion. A monochromatic color scheme looks great, however, it can be complemented with catchy or elegant, eye-catching decorations:
- gold and silver foil, kamifubuki, broths or pearls;
- stripes, broken geometric lines;
- sand vignettes.
A matte top looks most impressive on long nails. It is often supplemented with gloss on one or two fingers.
Popular shades of blue in 2022
Among more than a hundred shades of the blue palette in each season, nail art masters highlight those without which a fashionable manicure with design is simply unthinkable. Be sure to ask the master to apply one of the current colors of the season, then your manicure will be remembered by everyone.
Baby blue
Delicate pastel color is suitable for any season. It can be combined with other pastel shades - fashion designers suggest combining it with dusty rose in clothes. Naturally, such a tandem will definitely decorate the manicure of any fashionista. And if you decorate it with a discreet design, your image will be one hundred percent complete.
Sky blue
A piece of heaven in manicure is a trend in almost any season. This is a thicker and more saturated and at the same time transparent color, which will be an excellent base for designs with floral motifs. This is the color of summer, of the river, so it goes well with other “summer” shades in the design - grass green, orange, yellow and red.
blue
Thick and rich color of the clear August sky. It is beautiful and effective in its own right. You can get by with a minimalist design and do a manicure with only a matte finish, or combine all of the above colors into one fashionable ombre.
Short blue nails
Since the area of small, neat nails is limited, you have to carefully select the design and accessories - not all fashionistas’ ideas are suitable for implementation in such conditions. It is worth listening to the recommendations of nail artists who know how to work with such nails.
- Choose pastels, light delicate shades of blue, turquoise, sea green, and forget-me-not petals.
- Soften gloomy, saturated tones with sparkling white, light painting, 3D modeling or more delicate inserts.
- Special stickers in the form of vertically oriented stripes and lines visually lengthen your fingers and make your fingers more graceful. Apply the painting manually in the same way.
Decor should be used wisely, in the form of individual crystals and accent marigolds.
Selecting a shade of blue varnish
On nails of different lengths and shapes, different blue shades can look different. For some, heavenly shades are suitable, while for others, turquoise tones or the color of sea green are close. Harmonious color selection is already half the success. Additional color characteristics are also important - gloss, matte, metallic, pearl, etc.
Dark shades
A dark blue manicure in any combination looks advantageous, and the length of the nail does not matter at all. Dark tones are very beneficial to use as a background or as an independent coating; suitable for the following types of manicure:
- French, lunar;
- painting, airbrushing, stickers, photo design;
- jewelry, decor;
- using various powders, rubs, mica, etc.
Deep blue looks great in a matte finish on short nails, and in a glossy varnish finish on long and medium-length nails.
Dark blue shades are versatile to use. But they are more suitable for owners of dark skin tones, but this color is also suitable for pale-skinned beauties. Pairs well with other contrasting colors in warm and cool shades. Depending on the chosen nail design, such tones can decorate a manicure for everyday wear, an evening out or a business meeting.
Bright hues
Light blue tones look very gentle, reminiscent of forget-me-not flowers and a piece of spring sky on the nails. They go well with other light colors - pink, mint, yellow, etc.
Light tones of blue can essentially be considered blue, and thanks to the warm or cool shade, these colors “get along” with any type of manicure. There are some nuances in using light tones of blue in manicure:
- unlike dark blue varnish, light blue varnish cannot be considered a universal option “for all occasions”;
- It is not recommended to paint your nails in light blue tones for ladies with pale skin;
- Light shades of blue are great for teenagers and summer manicures, while ladies of a more respectful age should abandon this color and choose something darker.
The light blue shade goes well with silver rhinestones; a cat-eye manicure also looks good in a monochromatic version of the manicure. In addition to rhinestones, it is effective to use foil manicure tape, holographic rub, glitter, etc.
Blue metallic color
The metallic effect in blue polish or gel polish looks very fashionable, especially if you do a space manicure. All silvery decorative elements are ideally combined with this color, but an interesting effect can be created with multi-colored glitter.
You should not combine several colors on one nail with metallic blue; the effect may be negatively unexpected. It is also not relevant to make tandems of blue metallic color with matte or glossy finishes. The best option is to leave the manicure monochromatic.
Delicate shades of blue
Blue tones close to pastel or a little brighter - all of them will make the manicure incredibly delicate and original. Classic combinations - all pastel colors, looks especially impressive together with white. Any decorative elements with delicate shades of blue look beneficial, but do not overdo it with quantities and combinations.
Delicate shades of blue look stylish in everyday wear, as well as in festive manicures. But for the office dress code, you should carefully choose the manicure technique, since blue shades may not always “fit” into the overall business look. Various decorations in such a manicure will also be inappropriate.
Turquoise shades
Very fashionable blue-turquoise shades in light and dark colors will be relevant for young ladies. Excellent color combinations with this color can be found in white, black, purple, and yellow.
Don't get carried away with red polish if you want to combine it with turquoise on one nail. Such a tandem will look unsuccessful and tasteless.
Both jewelry in silver and gold tones go well with turquoise shades of blue. The most successful decorative elements for design are foil, rhinestones, and glitter. Turquoise color is not considered a classic color, so using it in manicure for the office, school or formal events is very risky.
Blue manicure on long nails
Being an excellent platform for various kinds of experiments, elongated nails do not go out of fashion. The following techniques are trending this season:
- contrast of rich blue with delicate pastels, bright scarlet and white additions;
- cat eye mattifying top;
- frosty white, milky and pastel flowers;
- gold and silver vignettes.
Since long, symmetrical nails are attractive in themselves and attract the eye, there is no point in strewing them with rich decor. It is better to maintain a sense of proportion.

Ocean heart
Deep blue is a win-win option for fans of the classics and the movie Titanic. Such a discreet color will look self-sufficient in a monochromatic design, so lovers of minimalism will definitely like it. But it wouldn’t hurt to decorate it additionally: to do this, you can play up the color with light lines, silver decor (as a reference to Rose’s necklace), graphic patterns, or even leave it as a bright accent on just two or three nails.

- contrasting strips of foil, in the form of stucco molding, stickers, painted;
- geometry in any design;

Blue manicure by season
Each season is characterized not only by its own combination of colors in manicure, but also by theme.
Delicate blue shades for spring
Spring is the period when nature awakens. Everything around is filled with sunshine and bright colors, which we have lost the habit of over the winter. The ideal combination is blue with new, grassy greens, juicy blues. Theme: floristry, sparkles.
Bright blue manicure for summer
Summer is characterized by thick and warm shades of heaven. This is a riot of colors when the design can be made in the craziest combination of colors. Of course, in the summer, marine themes, drawings of flowers and fruits are popular.
Feminine blue tones in autumn
Autumn can be different - gray and dank or bright orange-burgundy. The darkest shades of blue are suitable here. Design - gradient, raindrops, negative space, foil, rhinestones.
Blue manicure “winter tale”
How to create a winter fairy tale on your nails without blue? Of course not. In winter, almost all the tones included in the palette are relevant. Well, rhinestones, sparkles, stickers, shiny rubs and foil will help add shine and mood to your manicure.
Combination of blue and white
A win-win, universal option. Snow-white or milky colors soften the richness of cornflower blue colors and perfectly complement forget-me-not options. Any paintings and drawings are depicted on a neutral background. Blurred images are trending – marble, watercolor, stains. Marine themes also remain in fashion.
What does blue color go with on nails: current combinations
Blue color goes well with almost any shade of the palette. Of course, there are the most successful tandems that are successfully used by nail art masters.
Pink-blue
Two similar tones that are often contrasted with each other based on their gender. However, pink and sky are two colors that are simply irreplaceable for a fashionable tandem.
Tip: If you plan to use a neon shade of blue in your design, be sure to balance it with a dusty rose. This way the nail design will be feminine and not too acidic.
Blue and white
This combination of colors seems to be conceived by nature - sky and clouds, sea and foam. This is a summer and winter tandem. For the first option, warmer, rich tones are suitable, but for the winter one, you should choose icy transparent ones. Against their background, snow-white snowflakes or a knitted design will look very impressive.
Tip: an undoubted hit in almost all seasons is nautical-themed nail decor.
With yellow
Soft blue goes well with bright banana – it’s worth applying both colors in a matte finish.
Gray-blue
Want to adapt the sky color to your office routine? Add noble gray. To liven up the painting, add a minimalist design in black, white or silver.
Blue design
A manicure in which the artist combines several shades of blue at once looks elegant. Of course, this is a classic ombre, French, lunar decor.
Blue manicure with gold and silver
Silver and gold are noble metals on nails. Both colors go equally well with the sky. You can decorate individual nails or draw simple designs on the base (stripes, figures, monograms, lace) - it all depends on the mood and occasion.
Black and blue
A sky background and a black contrasting pattern are the ideal solution for a tandem of colors. In addition, black and blue are a good idea for “different hands” decor.
Beige blue
The two pastel shades complement each other. It doesn't matter which one is in the background. In addition, you can choose a third shade - contrasting.
Blue manicure with glitter
This year, the championship bar is held by the French and moonlight techniques, with the use of sparkles. They take both plain ones, similar in color to the background coating, and contrasting, colored, gold and silver.
Blue French: the most stylish ideas
French is a classic. But the smile in this design doesn't have to be white. It can also be done in blue, today this is considered a trend.
A regular French jacket with a blue smile looks very beautiful, and a blue line decorated with several rhinestones completes the whole look.
You can also make an unusual jacket and gradient, where the top of the nails will be darker and the bottom will be lighter, but all this will have a blue tint. If desired, if the length of the nails allows, you can decorate the tip of the nail with rhinestones or sparkles.
Blue French can be quite unusual. Paint all your nails with blue polish, but do not paint a smile, but stick on horizontal silver stripes.
A French jacket with a geometric pattern is the squeak of the season. The classic French manicure is applied in a variety of shapes, in which blue is the predominant color.
French floristry is constantly in demand by craftsmen. After all, blue flowers on a white background are so beautiful and romantic.
Blue manicure with silver
Silver inserts, decorating the entire surface with shining, mirror gloss or sparkles, allow you to create both an everyday, restrained business image, and a relaxed, festive, elegant ballroom style. Depending on wishes and technique, either all the plates or only a part are decorated.
Marine motifs
You can convey your love for the sea as openly as possible - with a drawing in the style of your favorite marine painter. It is not at all necessary to repeat Aivazovsky’s works with scrupulous accuracy. You just need to ask your master to figuratively convey a flight of fancy on your nails or to sketch out the motif of the famous engraving “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.

And if, in addition to a beach holiday, a run to nightclubs and discos is planned, then you can decorate a bright azure manicure with rhinestones. This will give the image a festive touch.
