Blue Nail Polish Review
In the past, subtler colors were typically the only ones seen on nails. Today, nearly every color of the rainbow can be found on both fingernails and toenails. Blue nail polish has become one of the most popular shades found on nails in today's fashion world. There are several different types of blues and they can be paired with a number of different shades. There are baby blues, true blues, bright blues, and royal blues popping up in nail color collections everywhere. Blue polishes can be an intimidating shade to wear so it is important to understand how to wear each and every shade. Here are the different shades of blue nail lacquer and how you can wear them.
Baby blues are very feminine and can be worn in professional environments because they are so light and subtle. Baby blues can look good on fair skin but they really stand out against darker skin tones. If you have very pale skin consider using a self tanner or getting spray tanned prior to donning baby blue nail polish. Baby blue nail polish can look great against dark greys, browns, and blacks. You can even wear this shade with other pastels for a very light, natural shade. Baby blues will also look nice with silvers so consider dressing up with silver accessories or wearing a silver ring or bracelet with baby blue polish. Check out "mint candy apple" and "barbados blue" by Essie for the perfect baby blues.
True blues have a pure blue tone to them and they contrast well against other true colors. Pair a true blue with a true yellow or true red for a modern vibe. You can also wear a true blue against a white outfit for a perfect pairing. True blue polishes can also be played up with other colors on the nail itself. Consider adding yellow polka dots or stripes on top of your true blue nail polish for a fun vibe. True blues are somewhat bright so you may want to keep these away from formal jobs or functions. If you are looking for the perfect true blue shade look at "mezmerized" by Essie.
Bright blue nail lacquers are great for summer months. They will look great on your toenails by the pool or at the beach and they can be worn with a bright sundress and underneath strappy sandals. Bright blues come in neon, aqua, and teal shades and each type will look nice against dark or light skin. If you use a bright teal shade try using a teal eyeshadow that matches your bright blue nail polish. For a great bright blue nail polish look at "beach bum blu" by Essie.
Royal blues are very deep and sexy and they are perfect for a romantic night out. You can wear this shade against whites or silvers for a great contrast. This color would be perfect for a sophisticated function or a night out at the club. Royal blue polishes will look great against fair skin tones. You can also pair a royal blue with a baby blue for an elegant vibe. Check out "aruba blue", "midnight cami", and "bobbing for baubles" for the perfect royal blue.
