While soulful blue shades have been making a splash in the world of eye makeup, nails in hues of royal blue and teal are also the latest manicure trend. For Fall 2016, shimmering blue nails are set to make a bold statement and steal the spotlight.

On Instagram, beauty lovers are officially embracing blue nail polish and adorning their talons with variations of this dreamy colour.

As we transition into windy early fall weather, take your beauty cues from the runways, and embrace true blue nails. Here are a few winning examples of the season’s hottest new manicure fad:
