Blue Nails Are Trending—19 Eye-Catching French-Tip Ideas to Try ASAP

For the last two years, French manicures have remained a constant trend in the beauty space. But if you've been paying close attention, you may have noticed that it has also been revamped a few times. We've seen jelly, butter yellow, and micro tips (to name a few). Now, this classic is getting a colorful makeover just in time for spring and summer. Enter: blue French manicures.

Maximalist nails are everywhere, and I can totally see why there’s a desire to take something historically minimalistic, like a classic French manicure, and give it the same kind of bold energy. Blue nails are eye-catching and truly bring a fun pop of color into the mix that you don’t see often. However, with so many different shades of blue to choose from, you can keep it as reserved or as vibrant as you'd like.

If you're in need of some ideas, don't stress. Check out our list of 19 blue French manicure nail ideas to try this spring or summer below.
