Have you always been the person who gets nude nails or the classic French manicure? If so, you might be considering how to switch up your nail looks because you are probably getting tired of getting these same nails every time.

Adding color to your nails instead of always getting neutral or white colors will make getting your nails done so much more exciting!

When I want to add some color to my nails, I always seem to go for blue.

What’s great about blue nail polish is it looks great on long or short nails and you can create a ton of fun designs with it if you want to make your nails stand out even more. Plus, blue nails are super trendy right now.

If you don’t want to do a design and you want a more simple nail look, you can totally get that with blue nail polish. The hardest part is deciding which shade you want to use.

One of my favorite shades of blue nail polish is royal blue, like this gorgeous shade called Royal Sapphire from MBA Cosmetics. It literally looks like your nails are made of gemstones, plus the polish is free of 10 harmful chemicals and is cruelty-free.

If you want a design for short nails using blue nail polish, I would suggest going for a classic blue and white nail design. Blue and white nail polish looks great together especially if you want to do a design like the v-shaped french tip above.
