10+ Blue Winter Nails That Will Freeze Your Boredom

It's winter! That means it's time to embrace the cold weather through fabulous and frosty nail art. Blues, like periwinkle and sapphire, are classic colors during this time of year. Incorporating your favorite blue shades into your next manicure is well worth it!

Key Takeaways

• Are blue nails in style in 2024? Blue is a trendy and classy choice of nail polish. Depending on the shade of blue nail polish you choose, you can create a manicure that perfectly reflects your sense of style!
• What color is best for winter nails? In the winter, some of the best colors include nudes, deep plums, burgundy, and forest greens. You can also add silver and gold, which are classic colors for winter nails.
• What color nails are trending now in winter? In the winter, some trendy nail colors include midnight blue, nudes, whites, forest green, and burgundy.
• What nail color makes you look tan in winter? In the winter, it can be hard to maintain your skin's sun-kissed glow. Luckily, a nail color that is lighter than your skin tone can make your skin tone appear darker. You can use nude or white to accomplish this!

• How do you do blueberry milk nails? Blueberry milk nails are a big trend in the world of nail art. To create blueberry milk nails, first apply a base coat to your nails - either clear or light beige will do. This will create a milky background. Next, apply 2 to 3 layers of your sheer blue nail polish. Lastly, apply a glossy top coat.
• Why do nails turn blue in winter? In the winter, your nails may turn blue (even without blue nail polish.) This can be a sign that your blood lacks oxygen. It is often caused by cold temperatures or medical conditions. If you have blue nails, it's a good idea to visit a healthcare professional.
