Any woman knows that gel polish is more stable and dense.
For this reason, its application requires a preliminary special base, and it is almost impossible to remove such a manicure without a special tool. Also, its distinguishing feature is precisely the saturation of colors and the natural appearance of the manicure. Thanks to these qualities, gel polish is best suited for decorating nails in blue.
In this case, a good design solution will be a manicure with sparkles. The easiest way to apply it is liquid. It is carried out just with the help of a shimmer, therefore it does not require any complicated actions.
More complex - the dry method of decoration requires the consistent application of sparkles, rhinestones or even larger elements, the so-called glitters. For better fixation, they are placed on a layer of lacquer, which has not yet completely dried using miniature tweezers, tweezers, or using a regular toothpick.
Glitter nail decoration is usually the choice for a festive and brighter manicure. You can place them all over the plate, which is a good option for owners of short nails. A more elegant option may also be the decision to place the sparkles on the edge of the nail plate or along the line of the cuticle. In any case, a manicure with rhinestones can be suitable for every woman as a bright element of a festive style.

- If you want to highlight the lightness and subtlety of blue, then try to combine it with gray or silver. This choice will be especially successful if you prefer a metallic manicure;

To date, among the new products can be noted except that some options for the combination of colors and patterns. White print on a blue or any other dark blue tone is becoming more popular.
For example, in the spring and summer, you can opt for drawings like flowers and patterns. White color will look great on both deep shades and less darker versions of blue. Another novelty of this summer is a gradient of azure with white. You can also add white smooth lines and a sandy border at the edge of the nail plate, thereby forming an abstract and pleasing image of the beach on the shore of a clear ocean.

How to do at home
To get a beautiful manicure, you need to correctly approach not only the application of varnish, but also the preparation of the nail plate. In general, if you master some of the subtleties of creating a manicure, you can save on a trip to the master, easily creating masterpieces on their nails.
Choosing blue lacquer, you should pay attention not only to the general concept of manicure, the design of which you liked.
Some combinations of colors and patterns are very fastidious to the shape and length of the nail plate:
- Special attention should be paid to the surface of the nail. This is especially true if you choose dark and deep tones. They are particularly fastidious to the well-groomed fingers;
- Also pay attention to the cuticle. It should either be removed or moved away, since too grown up will make the blue manicure uncleaned;
- For shades of blue, the best form of nails is square with rounded corners. Be sure to remove the sharp edges after giving the plate the desired shape;
- Try to take on the brush exactly as much varnish as is required to cover one nail at a time. Apply the bottom-up product, starting from the middle of the plate. Only at the end distribute it evenly in all directions. After you learn how to perform these actions at once, the strokes will be even and neat;
- Be sure to let the first coat of varnish dry. Only after that apply a drawing or another contrast layer depending on the design you choose. If the manicure consists of several components, do not forget that each of them comes in a separate layer, which should dry out beforehand. The exception is a manicure with sparkles, where the rhinestones are fastened on a still fresh varnish;
- The final work on your nails do not forget to cover with a layer of fixative. In addition to protecting the varnish from splitting, it will also give it a well-groomed appearance and a pleasant matte sheen.
