Thanks to the versatility of the color, it can be used at any time of the year and for any occasion. Just choose the right shade and design.
Fashionable blue jacket
Blue French manicure is a very unusual solution. French manicure in blue tones is created in the same way as classic French manicure. You can draw a smile using special stickers or by hand. The blue color is quite effective. The tips of your nails painted with it look bright and attractive.
Blue French manicure can easily fit into your everyday office style. You can add liveliness and enthusiasm to your fingers by decorating the French with glitter or rhinestones.

Blue manicure 2020 —
French manicure looks no less interesting, in which the tip of the nail in a blue or turquoise shade is complemented with a pattern. Thematic images look appropriate. So in summer you can apply all kinds of flowers, and in winter - snowflakes. The night sky decorated with stars is another original option.
Combination with yellow
This idea will appeal to lovers of sunny and bright notes, because the blue palette and yellow are a clear demonstration of summer, sun and warmth. You can decorate your nails beautifully by alternating selected shades on all ten fingers or one nail, your choice. Bright daisies, checkered patterns, polka dots and stripes look very interesting in a similar range, when applying which you can additionally use white varnish. Nails decorated with blue and yellow acrylic powder look gorgeous, which can create a smooth transition from one shade to another on the nail plate or decorate the nail with powder designs.
Moon blue manicure
Lunar manicure has long been on the lips of fashionistas as one of the popular trends of recent years. But it was invented a long time ago, back in the 40s of the twentieth century, but it was brought out of oblivion only a few years ago. And it happened at one of the Christian Dior fashion shows. Therefore, sometimes this type of nail design is called a Dior manicure. There is a third name, which it received due to its similarity or even the opposite of French manicure - this is the Hollywood French manicure. We have learned the history, now it’s time to learn about the technique.
Moon manicure is a nail design using two contrasting colors of varnish, in which the emphasis is on the lunula of the nail, which is why (and not from the word “moon”) it is called that. In turn, there are two varieties: with a concave smile line at the base of the nail and with a convex one. Both of them look interesting on nails, and to choose the best one there is no other way than to try to do both.
Ideas for a beautiful manicure in blue tones
In any type of design, the most important thing is the idea. How exactly colors, elements, patterns, textures will be combined - all this is of great importance even in the field of nail design. The color blue is quite variable, so there are a lot of possibilities for combining its different shades with other elements. We will consider the most popular and interesting nail art options below.
Nail design with silver or gold
Both silver and gold go well with blue tones, but which one to choose depends on several factors. So, if the selected varnish is too light, then it is better to give preference to golden elements, but for more saturated shades silver is best suited. You can add shiny elements in a variety of ways:
- glue the finished foil patterns on top of the created blue background;
- highlight the smile line or lunula with a thin glossy line;
- create a graphic pattern from foil strips;
- use silver and gold glitter to decorate the free edge of the nail, and apply a blue pattern on top, etc.
There are many options, and experts recommend taking into account not only personal preferences, but also the occasion, age and permissible brightness of the final manicure.
French nail art in blue
The classic French manicure with the free edge highlighted in white is extremely popular, but this is a calm and neutral option. A bolder and more interesting solution would be to change the color scheme, for example, replacing white with blue. You can simply draw a standard curved line along the free edge, but you can go even further and play with textures and shapes.
So, a manicure with the creation of a triangular and inclined straight line of the edge will look very unusual. As for textures, for the French tip of the nail you can use not a simple varnish, but, for example, glitter or matte powder to imitate velvet. A fashionable solution would be to highlight the ring finger on each hand: as an option, you can make a classic white coating on 4 fingers, and blue on the ring finger. To make such an idea look holistic, you should add either a small pattern or several small rhinestones of a suitable blue shade to the fingers with a white edge.
Matte manicure
Matte texture has recently become increasingly popular, not only in nail design, but also in makeup. This type of coating looks very elegant and attractive, placing high demands on the clarity of boundaries and lines. Matte nails can be created in several ways:
- use a special nail polish that loses its shine when it dries;
- apply fine sand that imitates a velvet coating;
- transform a regular polish into a matte one - paint your nails with a regular glossy finish, and until it dries, hold it over the steam for a few seconds.
It is important that this coating does not have any shine or shimmer, so if there are pronounced irregularities on the nail plate, they will be noticeable. Therefore, this option can only be used on healthy and well-groomed fingers, otherwise the desired positive effect will not be achieved.
Blue nails with pink, white, yellow and blue polish
The combination of blue with other colors turns out to be both delicate and quite bright. So, having decided to combine it within the framework of one manicure idea with more saturated blue or bright yellow, you get a rich and expressive image. And in combination with pink, a very gentle and romantic duet will be achieved.
How exactly to combine shades - here you can fully realize your fantasies, for example, by painting your fingers one at a time, or combining both tones on one nail plate, dividing them with a vertical stripe in the middle, etc.
Delicate nail design with a pattern
Nail art is always an art. It can be a small one-color pattern, or a complex, detailed picture - it all depends on your desire. The light blue color acts as an excellent background for applying an image, and both matte and glossy versions will look good.
In order not to overload the manicure and not create the impression of tackiness, it is better to choose one or two nails on each hand to apply the main picture, and either leave the rest “clean” or add small complementary components of the overall design to them.
Sky blue manicure
The heavenly color is very delicate and feminine, it is perfect for a single-color manicure and does not require any additions. This shade evokes extremely positive emotions in almost everyone, and therefore few people will refuse such a manicure on their hands. Nails of this tone will be the “cherry on the cake” when creating a light spring look.
Nails decorated with rhinestones or sparkles
Sequins and rhinestones always look very bright and impressive on nails, because when light hits them, the manicure begins to shimmer and shine beautifully.
It is not recommended to overdo it with such elements, but it all depends on the reason for creating a manicure. Blue nail polish, where the lunula line is lined with small rhinestones on each finger, will look very feminine and gentle. Blue sparkles, in turn, can be used to create a French manicure when building up.
Moon manicure with blue polish
Moon manicure is a relatively new and very interesting trend in nail art. To implement it, the lunula zone is isolated on the nail plate, that is, that part of the nail matrix that arcs out from under the cuticle. This arc is drawn the same on all nails, creating a very unusual result.
In this option, you can safely combine colors, making the main part of the plate one tone, but the arc at the base another, both pleasantly combined (for example, gray or white) and contrasting (orange, black, etc.). Sometimes they do something even more original and paint the entire surface of the plate except the lunula. In such a situation, it is not so noticeable when the nail begins to grow, which is quite convenient.
Unique blue manicure with drawings
Drawings can be done using the same colored gel polish using a thin manicure brush. By the way, you don’t have to buy expensive brushes designed specifically for nail design. All you need to do is pick up a thin brush at an art store and save a lot of money. We offer ideas for drawings that can be made on gel polish. We hope they will help you decide on your unique design.
For drawings you may need:
- Thin brushes;
- Dots, which is a rod with a ball at the end. With the help of dots you can make various designs in the form of polka dots, balls, flowers;
- Palette (piece of foil, plastic or thick cardboard, plate);
Blue and silver
A nail design using silver and blue polish can be called the “Snow Queen manicure.” The tenderness of blue and cold metallic silver reflections look simply amazing on the nails. You can decorate a French or moon manicure with similar shades, beautifully highlighting the smile line or lunula at the base with silver notes, or complement the transparent base of a blue French manicure with shiny stripes or patterns. Fantasy is limitless! An accent nail highlighted with silver glitter or shiny additions in the form of pieces of foil, patterns decorated with shiny kamifubuki and many other ideas that can highlight the magic of shades also look gorgeous.
Fashionable ideas for combining blue and gold
Decorate your nails with fashionable elements made with gold varnish. There is no need to doubt the choice of color; gold goes with absolutely any tones.
Now it has become fashionable to highlight just one nail. Choose any finger and paint it with gold polish. All other nails - the color that you like best.
This can also be an emphasis on the tips of the nails. Using gold polish, we outline the contours of the nails and get a golden French manicure.
And you can do the opposite. All nails are painted gold, and the tips are painted blue.
Using gold elements you can make a real applique on your nails. These can be flowers, ribbons, skulls, stripes, dots, animal designs, etc.
You can also decorate your manicure very stylishly with the help of gold beads.
Duet of blue and gold
Golden varnish has a unique ability to combine equally beautifully with many shades, and in our case, a blue tint and golden splashes, stripes or patterns look very cool. In a similar way, you can decorate a French line made in one of the many blue shades of the palette and complement the design with shiny decorations. You can use gold to decorate the tip of the nail directly, and an unusual way of decorating the smile line will only benefit you. Pieces of foil, a scattering of golden confetti or gradient transitions of glitter look gorgeous on a blue base.
Classic French
It is more common to see a French jacket in pastel colors, but everything flows, everything changes, and now its palette has increased. A sapphire jacket on a pink background looks great in everyday life, and if you decorate it with sparkles, you get a chic holiday option.
Having decorated the jacket in soft cornflower blue tones with the addition of a peaked image with ribbon and dark purple varnish, we get an office option.
A more delicate French look can be created if shades of azure are applied pointwise to a light base, deliberately leaving gaps. By choosing lighter tones that smoothly transition into dark ones, we get a delicate manicure in purple tones, which is perfect for everyday life.
For what occasions is a blue manicure suitable?
A manicure in blue tones (photos of examples are presented later in the article) can be considered a classic option.
The soft, calm shade makes it universal and appropriate in the following cases:

For each individual client, you can choose your own suitable tone: from deep and rich to barely noticeable. Blue color is not considered binding; this manicure is combined with the entire color palette of clothes and shoes.
Gzhel
In 2020, the nail trend is considered to be design in the Gzhel style. This design will go well with a blue solid dress. In the photo you can see what looks perfect if you decorate two nails on your hand with a pattern. The idea of such a manicure was taken from folk painting and has taken root quite successfully.
Russian style has again reached the peak of popularity, girls dress in multi-colored scarves and put on boots. Many accessories imitating Gzhel appeared, and manicure was no exception.
