There’s something about a blue nail that just feels like summer. As the temperature rise, but you are not quite out of sweater outfits, adding a fun blue nail color instantly gets you in the hot season mood.
And blue is also one of the most calming shades out there, that looks chic, serene and playful all at the same time. And I haven’t met anyone yet on whom blue nail polish does not look good. It’s just the best shade to kick off your summer season.
And I found the perfect nail polishes that you can pick and wear all summer. Here are 11 summer blue shades worth trying right now.
Chicest Summer Blue Nail Colors
Oaseas - Fun Blue
This is one of my favorite blue nail polish. It’s not too bright, not too dark and not too light. Just the right nail polish color for my skin tone. If you love the bright blue ocean color, then you might just have grabbed it with the nail shade. While the bottle feels intense, the color is soft and so fun. And whatever outfit you wear, this shade will compliment it effortlessly.
And Sally Hansen is one of my most favorite nail polish brands. The Gel nail polish line is a genius pick, it lasts easily for 2 weeks and looks amazing. Just add a gel top coat so it does not chip.
I wore this shade with a yellow sweater and it still looks such a fun combo. My fingers feel slimmer I swear with this color compared to other darker colors.
Happy Play-Ce - Shimmery Blue
Want that shimmer from the ocean but not too much, the OPI Happy Place Ce shade is the perfect one. When you are inside it looks like you have normal soft blue shade on but outside in the sunlight, it shimmers.
That adds a bit of spark in my eyes honestly. What a fun lunch hour conversation starter or just feeling a bit of the nature while looking at your beautifully painted nails. I am all up for anything to enjoy the beautiful summer weather.
This nail paint is watery so, you need to apply 3 coats and add a top coat to keep it from chipping quickly. But OPI nail polishes dry pretty quickly.
Love the hint of shimmer that shows up on the nails when light shines on them. It gives your nails a healthy glow as well. Exactly what we need in the summer time.
And a top coat will enhance this shimmer as well.
Lilas - Pastel Blue
Looking for a soft pastel shade of blue that gives you the subtle blue color and looks classy and elegant, then the Manicurist Lilas that is just the perfect shade you can wear all summer. Its gives you the snow cone feeling whenever you look at your nails.
The pastel color tone feels soothing to your eyes and its the perfect shade for ladies who don’t like a lot of colors.
Wear this shade to summer beach vacation or weddings where you are dressed up chic and you don’t want your nails to be the statement of your entire outfit. Instead they compliment your looks.
Bikini So Teeny - Soft Ocean Blue
This is the perfect beach or lake trip nail color that just gives you the calming blue vibe. And Essie’s classic Bikini so Teeny shade is just the right shade for it. It looks gentle yet fun. And of course you can’t get this look just by 1 single coat. Just like any Essie nail polish you will need multiple coats to get this rich and soft blue color.
But I love how amazing it looks in the sunlight and perfect for all your summer outfits. You can wear this color with a red outfit as well.
This shade comes back everywhere with a new twist and this year it has som shimmer to it. And we are not complaining at all.
Hot Spring - Fun & Flirty Blue
This shade just reminds me of younger college days when nail polishes were the only luxury I could afford. This shade looks so chic and fun. It has a brightness to it, but it still looks soft. You can wear it with your white and other fun colors as well.
This shade is giving me all the mermaid vibes without the green tint. Feels like jewels on your nails isn’t it. Love the brightness. And London Town also lasts on your nails pretty long as well. And this vegan nail color also strengthens your nails.
There is a bit of that metallic tint to the shade which makes it shinier. And honestly it’s giving you a shiny new car look effortlessly.
Shore Is Something - Luxe Blue
Who says you cannot wear darker blue shade in summer. They instantly give you a rich luxe look. This shade from OPI – Shore Is Something looks vibrant and luxurious and your nails are getting a major upgrade with it.
The color is dark but it still looks bright and colorful. It will definitely go with all your summer denim outfits. Imagine having that perfect tan and adding this shade to your nails. Your nails would look so chic.
The Nature strong collection from OPI is a 3 in 1 step nail polish where you get base coat, nail polish and top coat everything in one. This makes carrying this nail polish on your summer trips so easy and mess free.
And I am loving the packaging as well.
Muse - Classy Blue Vibes
Chanel’s Muse is not your average blue shade is it, it always? It has this classy elegant feeling to the color that you definitely expect from Chanel. This blue shade has a hint of gray in it to tone the blue down a bit.
And this shade looks great all year round for ladies who love to wear lighter shade. I love that it looks equally amazing on a darker skin tone as well.
Chanel Nail polish literally lasts forever. This is one of the luxury brands that I actually love and recommend and would not mind spending the extra dollars on. The nail polish also lasts for 2 weeks with a good quality top coat.
And this shade just screams classy to me.
No Room For The Blues - Elegance In a Bottle
This fun shade is perfect summer blue shade. But guess what ladies love to wear this all year round. And who can blame. It has the perfect blue shade that will banish all your blues. Love how vibrant it looks.
And this shade looks great on both lighter and darker skin tone. That’s the beauty of blue nail colors, they almost look great on anyone. They still look like a spring shade but not pastel at all.
You don’t need to put on more than 2 coats to get this richness on your nails. And it looks so smooth and elevated on your nails. You will ditch wearing black nails now when you give this shade a try.
Ultramarine - Cerulean Blue
I had to bring this up with the Devil Wears Prada 2 release. The cerulean blue shade that looked so elevated and sophisticated in the movie and we all want to wear it too. And with the Manicurist Ultramarine nail shade it’s absolutely possible.
You look chic and sophisticated. Perfect for summer date nights and party looks where you want to wear a fun nail color. And if you are headed to the movie, this is the best way to celebrate it with your girlfriends.
You don’t need a lot of coats to get the look. And Manicurist natural nail polish is also fast drying. So your nails will be ready in no time at all.
Wear it with reds or blacks or any other fun shade.
Sugar Fix - Cool Blue
A cool blue shade that’s giving me summer by the poolside feeling. And rocking this nail color, you will probably see me hanging out there. This shade from Sally Hansen is pastel but not pale at all. It looks elevated and versatile.
Wear it with all your summer white or bright shades. This shade is perfect for everyday wear where you want a little joy with some colors. And this shade is making me crave Gelato.
As I have mentioned before, the Miracle Gel nail polish last so long that you don’t even need to spend money on gel Manis. Just apply 3 thin coats to achieve this flawless nail look. And add their top coat for long lasting finish.
New Day New Me - Almost Navy
Who said you can’t wear dark shades in summer. And if you are looking for the perfect dark blue that does not look like black, then Essie’s New Day New Me is the perfect color for you. It’s an awesome basic dark shade that will go with all your outfits. But it still has the fun blue vibe to it.
When the sun hits the color, it looks bright and during night time, the shade will look darker. The perfect nail color to wear from day to night isnt it.
This almost feels like Ink pen blue that we use to write on papers. And that is why this shade fits right into our everyday style. It’s giving us deep deep ocean feeling.
