When I think of Christmas nail colours, I immediately think of shades such as red, gold and silver. These colours come back in style every year for the festive season, and I always see lots of my favourite nail artists and celebrities jumping on the trend and showing off their Christmas manicures on Instagram. As much as I love these shades, I’m always much more interested in the “anti-trend” colours that people are opting for, that won’t look out of place when January rolls around. When I think of timeless, classic shades, there is one colour in particular that always comes to mind. That’s right, I’m talking about navy blue.
I feel like people are always thinking about this chic, dark blue hue when it comes to fashion, but in my opinion, this is the perfect manicure colour for this time of year. Not only will it remain in style once the festive season is over, but this shade works beautifully with trending Christmas colours such as red and gold. After looking at pictures of navy blue nails online, I decided to give the colour a go myself, and I have never received so many compliments on my manicure. The dark blue shade gave my nails a subtle pop of colour while still complimenting my neutral wardrobe, and I will definitely be sticking with this shade for Christmas Day. If you’re also interested in giving this classy nail colour a go, keep on scrolling for all the inspiration you need…
Seriously, how chic is this manicure?
I love how well the dark blue colour works with gold jewellery.
A high shine finish makes it pop even more.
A navy blue French tip? Yes please.
This is my Christmas Day nail inspiration.
The gold French tips make this manicure look so classy.
For a sophisticated finish, opt for a short, slightly rounded nail shape.
Even the sparkly French tips looks chic!
This dark blue hue works perfectly with long nail shapes too.
A colour that matches one of my favourite skincare brands is a colour I can get on board with.
Chanel have created the chicest navy blue nail polish.
This stunning, dark blue shade from OPI also helps to protect against chipping and peeling.
Another gorgeous option from Nails Inc.
