Remember when - thanks to Kim Kardashian - blue eyeshadow blew up? Well, now our nails are getting in on the action, too. Taking our social media feed by storm, baby blue hues have been cropping up everywhere. From soft clouds a la manicurist @amyle.nails to powder blue tips as seen on Rochelle Humes, there are so many ways to wear this season’s ‘it’ nail colour.

For an easy way in, take your cue from digital creator and nail influencer Melanie (@overglowedit) who recently sported blocks of soft pastel blue (pictured below) over on Instagram. ‘The epitome of spring in a bottle is definitely OPI’s MexicoCityMovemint, £13.90,’ she says in the caption, ‘there’s something so fresh & cheerful about this colour that makes me want to wear it all season long while snacking on ice-cream on my patio and watching the clouds drift by.’ Sounds dreamy, right?

If you want to dial things up and get creative in the nail art arena, look to Rochelle Humes go-to manicurist Harriet Westmoreland for inspo. Her recent work, which you can find on her feed (@harrietwestmoreland), features several micro baby blue tips – a fun and fresh update on the classic French manicure.

Then there’s manicurist Amy Le’s (@amyle.nails) latest masterpiece (pictured above), where she's expertly painted intricate fluffy white clouds on top baby blue tips. Our advice? Take a screen shot and save this look for when you’re next in salon so the pros can work their magic. For more baby blue nail looks, take inspiration from our gallery below…
