The fact that Classic Blue is recognized as the main color of 2020 is already known. This is a gorgeous classic blue shade that looks great on fabrics and materials of any texture. But of all wardrobe items, blue dresses have definitely conquered our hearts. They can be basic or evening, warm or summer, short or long ... For them you need to carefully select accessories, as well as makeup and manicure. It is about the manicure under the blue dress that we will tell in more detail.

Choosing a manicure color for a blue dress

The color of nail polish or gel polish for a blue outfit does not have to be blue either. Roughly the same can be said about red lacquer, which, as is commonly believed, fits everything: red is hardly suitable for a bright blue dress or shade of "electric blue". But, despite this, there can be many color schemes for manicure for a blue outfit. Here are the most relevant ones.

1. French manicure

French suits any outfit, any look and any situation. Regardless of whether you will be in a tracksuit or an evening dress, classic French is always relevant. At the same time, a jacket can be different: with a transparent base and a white "smile" (like natural nails), with a beige or pink base, and even with a brighter colored base. The same applies to the "smile" - it can be not only white, but also colored. The main thing here is to choose the right color for the blue dress. But all shades of nude and classics of the white tip of the nail will always suit.

2. Nude

Also, gentle pastel tones of natural colors are suitable for any color of the outfit and for any look. That is, everything that you use for the base under the jacket can independently play on all surfaces of the nail. Creamy, beige, oily, as well as pink, powdery, peach. Pure white also looks good, while it can be either glossy or matte. And white can also be covered with a layer of transparent mother-of-pearl or pearl lacquer on top, or an iridescent "rubbing". All light shades look especially good on short nail plates.

3. Cool pastel shades

Various pastel shades can also go well with a blue dress. For example, a pale yellow, almost white color with a cool lemon undertone can be perfectly combined with classic blue even in garments. The same goes for pink, lavender, light green. Keep the shades of the varnish with a cool undertone. That is, warm yellow or peach shades of nail polish are unlikely to work well with the main blue of the garment.

4. Blue

Blue manicure under a blue dress - what could be easier ?! If you can manage to match a tone-on-tone nail polish or gel polish with the fabric of your dress, it will be a win-win. Moreover, monochrome images in one color are very popular today. But even if you do not completely copy the color of the varnish to the fabric of the dress, you can choose blue a few tones lighter or darker. The main thing is that the main color has something in common with the undertones of the clothes: if it is with a purple tint, choose lavender blue for nails, if with an admixture of green - aqua, etc.

5. Achromatic colors

The achromatic colors of the spectrum are black, white and gray. As you know, they suit everything, any other shade or color, any combination and any prints. These colors are also versatile in terms of manicure. Black nails go well with a blue dress, especially if you wear black shoes or take a black handbag. The same applies to pure white: it is good to cover the white color on the entire nail plate with a shimmering transparent shine.Gray is also suitable for blue, ranging from dark graphite to very light.

6. Sharp contrasts

As we said, a classic red manicure, despite being considered versatile, is unlikely to go with a Classic Blue dress. But there are many other shades that can contrast, but at the same time go well with blue. Designers in 2020 suggest wearing a calm blue color with bright orange, warm mustard, light yellow, emerald green, and purple eggplant. If you still want red, choose dark shades, burgundy and cherry, almost black. In this case, it is good if the color of the varnish will overlap with the color of the lipstick.

7. Metallic and gloss

Metallic manicure, glitter and sequins, sequins and rhinestones on nails, foil decor - all this is a great company for the blue outfit. Pure silver on nails looks great with any shade of clothing - in this case, silver and gold can also be safely called achromatic shades, suitable for everything. Choose silver lacquer or decor if you wear silver or jewelry in white metal, and gold, respectively, to gold. Metallic glitters can be added to any shade of nail polish, whichever you choose to match your blue dress.

How to choose the right design: the main criteria

It is very important not only the shade of varnish or gel nail polish, which will match the blue dress, but also the design of the manicure. This is especially important if you are preparing for some event, for which you carefully select a dress, a hairstyle, and makeup, and a manicure. What matches the Classic Blue dress? Answer the questions below and you will easily find beautiful decor and nail designs.

What is the reason to wear a blue dress?

If it is a holiday in a restaurant, in a nightclub or even at home, but in any case it is a solemn day, a manicure can be quite daring. Don't neglect glitter, glitter and metallic effects. Nail polish can be dark or very bright. If you have a modest corporate party or a business dinner with colleagues, it is better to choose something classic in light colors to match the blue outfit.

What's the style of your blue dress?

If you wear a short dress of a bold style, strewn with rhinestones or sequins, with a deep neckline, then the manicure can be brighter and frivolous. A strict and restrained sheath dress requires more sophistication: here you should limit yourself to deep saturated shades without decor, perhaps even in a matte finish. A long evening dress to the floor, tight-fitting and very solemn, or lush and almost ball gown requires full attention to yourself, because here the manicure should be more neutral.

What accessories for the blue dress are you planning to wear?

We have already mentioned this above: be sure to pay attention to jewelry and accessoriesthat will complement the outfit. First of all, start from jewelry. If it is a yellow metal, use gold shades for a manicure design, if it is a white metal, use silvery shades. If shine is not planned on the nails, pay attention to the color of the handbag and shoes - they can also overlap with the decor and color of the varnish.

Are there prints, patterns, decor on the blue dress?

If you are wearing a dress with a crisp cut and geometric patterns, lace or flower patterns on your nails are unlikely to go with it. Here it is better to choose beautiful asymmetry and graphic lines. And vice versa: if there are elements of lace and guipure on the dress, you can repeat this pattern on the nails. As well as floral floral prints and curls. If the dress is in a cage or with polka dots, you can safely duplicate this pattern on all or several fingers.

What are the hottest nail design trends for 2020?

This question is also important, because you want to look not only appropriate for the situation, but also fashionable. In 2020, the following manicure trends will suit a blue dress:

• French: in this case, you can choose both classic colors and the blue base of the nail or a smile;
