Nail pros predicted that royal hues would be must-have nail art shades in 2021, and the blue manicure trend continues to make a bigger splash this fall or winter season. “Overall, saturated colors are trending,” Brittney Boyce, founder of NAILS OF LA and celebrity nail artist, shares with Bustle. Blue is especially popular, she says, as it comes in a variety of shades and finishes, allowing you to find a hue that complements everyone’s look.

Of course, if darker shades of blue are more your style during the colder months, go for it. “Bright sapphire blues are on trend because of their more jewel-like tones,” says Boyce. “This looks great when we’re doing minimalist nail art, as it’s so rich and gives it that pop of bold color that makes it super eye-catching.” Basically, the blue nail polish color options are practically limitless.
