Think blue and purple nail polish is just for spring? Think again! Your favourite blue hues can be worn all year round. Here’s how to get the manicure of your dreams.
When spring arrives, we’re usually ready to do our nails in bright shades, especially blue nails and purple nails. These nail designs scream spring, but did you know they can be worn all year round? Yes, these vivid hues can be adapted with some cool colour combinations, nail art and nail designs. Read on for our expert application tips on how to wear a blue or purple manicure any time of year.
Like the dynamic nature of the sky, blue is one of those colours that can be a real mood shifter, going from bright and cheerful to deep and moody in an instant. The same goes for its cousin purple, ranging from lovely lilac and lavender to positively rich and royal plum.
The other great thing about blue and purple nail polish is that it works really well when you wear it with other colours at the same time. Try experimenting with different shades as part of an ombré manicure by contrasting light and dark hues, or even incorporate it into a nail art design with multiple colours in the same family. For a fresh take on a classic, use blue instead of white on your French manicure. The sky’s the limit when it comes to nail ideas!
Getting a beautiful blue manicure doesn’t mean taking a pricey trip to the nail salon. With the right products and a little practice, you can get a gorgeous manicure at home. The first and most fun step? Choose your colour! With so many great options in the blue and purple family, we know it’s not easy, so don’t limit yourself to just one nail colour. Our L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Oil-Infused Nail Polish has a colour for every mood, including several in shades of blue and purple and ranging from pastel to jewel tones. You’ll love this nail polish for its application, finish and unique formulation. Containing four precious oils of rose, camellia seed, lotus flower and argant, this polish took more than 10 years of research to formulate. As the first oil nail polish (and we know how amazing oils are for your skin, hair and nails), it offers a rich and saturated colour in just one stroke. The patented, flexible brush has 440 soft bristles and a round shape that make for an effortless application no matter what your skill level.
Now that you’ve picked the colour for your blue manicure, follow these application tips to get your nail designs in tip-top shape.
