For Spring 2017, royal blue nails are set to steal the spotlight in all their eye-catching, cobalt-hued glory. Usually dominated by pastel fingertips, this season is set to see the rise of dark blue nails. Suitable for both work and play, a royal blue manicure can easily transport your fingernails to the next level. As we prepare for rising temperatures and fingers make their way out of gloves, try taking these nail looks into account for your next mani.

Contrast your almond-shaped nails against a black and white graphic statement nail: For a funky look that can work for the evening hours, transform your tips with elegant almond-shaped nails. Add silver faux gems to a couple of nails for a finishing touch, and then paint a single fingernail on each hand with black and white abstract prints.

Turn to sweet butterflies for a springlike touch: If your cobalt nails are crying out for a dose of fun, try adorning a white-painted accent nail with splashy butterflies. The look of pastel-hued butterfly nail art can instantly usher spring to your fingertips.

Accessorize your dark blue painted nails with hints of silver: For a party-ready feel, think glitter as a contrasting touch for your gleaming blue nails. The inclusion of silver holographic nails can bring your deep blue talons to entirely new heights, which will certainly light up the dance floor at any glamorous soirée.
