royal blue | Craftynail

Have you heard that one of the hot nail colors for spring 2014 is royal blue?

Just because cobalt and royal blues are trending right now that doesn’t mean you need to run out and buy new bottles of polish! This is a perfect chance for you to ‘shop your stash’ and see what blue beauties you have tucked away in your nail polish collection.

Blue is one of my favorite shades to wear! I have a bunch- shimmers, navies, pastels, holos. But I wanted to find one that reminds me of the intense blue hues that I’ve seen on the runways this season. And I think I found the perfect shade!

Here I’m wearing two coats of Butler Please from Essie. This color is actually my very-first-ever bottle of Essie! It’s intense, eye-catching and is the personification of blue. It dries sorta matte so you’ll want some topcoat to make it shine.

I went ahead and did simple nail art on top using another color that I notice is on trend this spring- chartreuse. I think I was in Kohl’s when I realized how hot this color is right now. I looked around and saw tons of this funky yellow/green color dotted throughout the women’s clothing section. If you’re looking for a great chartreuse you may want to try Sinful Colors Innocent. I have a few funky greens, but none are as perfect as this one for nail art. It’s nice and opaque and the formula is great.
