Embrace change and spontaneity this season with a bold blue manicure.

Everybody loves a classic red manicure. It's chic, easy and timeless; everyone looks sophisticated with red nails. Plus, it looks good with any outfit. While red nail polish isn't going out of style any time soon, a bolder shade is stealing the thunder for the summer season: royal blue nail polish.&nbsp;
Simple bright blue manicures are, somewhat unexpectedly, all the rage right now. The same <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/suri-cruise-now-outfits-style-inspiration-vintage-joey-potter-dawsons-creek-katie-holmes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYC it-girls</a> and TikTok influencers who have been committed to wearing red nail polish every day for years are suddenly ditching the tried and true shade for something with a bit more edge. An unexpected pop of bright blue adds energy and life to any outfit, making it a nice change of pace from the more expected and familiar nail polish shades like reds or neutrals. Especially in the summer months when fashion is all about having fun and prioritizing spontaneity, trying out a new color for a manicure is more appealing than ever before.
Every summer, new <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/nail-trends-for-the-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nail trends</a> pop up across social media and this year is no different. From chrome nails to luxurious <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-press-on-nails-luxury-nail-art-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press-on</a> sets or <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/hailey-bieber-pink-pearl-nail-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pearl-inspired</a> manicures, each trend seems to get more and more complicated. Royal blue nail polish is appealing as a new favorite shade precisely because it is a much simpler way to stay in touch with the latest <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-nail-art-for-short-nails" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nail art</a> trends without needing to commit to a complicated, over-the-top manicure. A bright blue manicure is still stylish and fresh, but it shines without needing too many extra details.
The key to fully embracing this nail trend is to keep it simple. While there are plenty of different nail art designs that blue nail polish is suited to, the true royal blue manicure is all about letting the bold color do the talking for itself. Just a plain, glossy bright blue shade is all you need to rock the latest trend. Plus, even though it might feel a bit more out of the typical nail polish comfort zone, a bright, royal blue manicure can be just as easily styled as a red manicure is. Try pairing your jewelry or hair accessories to your nails to tie in the playful pop of blue with your outfit.&nbsp;
If you plan to dive into clear blue waters on a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/summer-tailoring-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summer</a> vacation or you're looking for a way to brighten up your city style, look no further than a vibrant shade of blue nail polish. Nail trends come and go quickly, but just like the classic red manicure, the simple royal blue manicure is here to stay.
