Looking for blue nail inspiration? You’ve come to the right place.

Blue as a color symbolizes honesty, loyalty, truth, tranquility and spiritual connection. It can also represent inspiration, freedom and creativity, as it is often associated with open skies.

On the nails, it can bring feelings of peace, serenity and calm. 

Blue Nail Theory

Blue nail theory states wearing blue nails is a sign that you’re not available to date, so this color is best worn if you’re already in a loyal relationship or you’re not looking for a relationship.

This is in contrast to red nail theory, which suggests red nails will attract a partner. If you’re looking for a partner, red nails may be better.

In the nail world, blue nail polish is currently trending and it’s a color that can look great on any skin tone, since there’s a blue shade out there for everyone.

Now that we’ve discussed the color theories and cultural relevance of blue nails, let’s enjoy a few blue nail polishes for inspiration. 

Below you’ll find swatches of 3 blues to consider:

Shown in 3 coats, Splashy is a pastel neon light blue cream - you could call it a sky blue nail polish.

It’s from the L.A. Colors Creamy Neon Collection, filled with 8 gorgeous soft and gentle neon colors. If you like both pastels and neons, this collection is worth your while as it’s the best of both worlds.

I specifically like the creamy neons for extending the happy spring vibe of pastels all the way through summer.

Shown in 2 coats, Electric Blue is a bright aqua blue with a mirror-like, brushed metal finish. For the best foil-like results, shake this polish well before application and wear it without a top coat.

Shown in 2 coats and from the L.A. Colors long wearing line, Truth is a sapphire blue pearl that almost glows on the nail.

All in all, each of these blue nail colors are gorgeous. For me, blue nails are very oceanic and always remind me of water. In your eyes, what does the color blue on the nails symbolize?
