I'm Not a Fan of Non-Neutral Nail Colours, But I'll Make an Exception for This Chic Shade

You're probably all sick of me going on about how much I love neutral nails, but it's true. There's nothing that makes me feel more polished than a simple nude manicure, and I always get compliments on how chic my nails look. However, the other day I was doing some clothes shopping, and I spotted a woman working on the till who had one of the most elegant manicures I had ever seen. She was wearing a beautiful, baby blue nail polish shade and everyone was commenting on how good it looked.

When I got home I did a little research on Google Trends and found that lots of other people have been searching for baby blue nail designs this summer. So, why is this shade so popular? In my opinion, it's the perfect alternative to a classic nude polish, as it gives a subtle pop of colour without being too bright.

Not only that, but there are lots of ways to incorporate the shade into your manicure. From French tips to fun nail art, there are so many different baby blue nail designs out there, and they all look incredibly chic. Don't believe me? Below I've rounded up my favourite baby blue nail designs to try this summer, so keep on scrolling for all the inspo...
