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

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:

L.A. Colors Color Craze Gel Splashy

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.
