All The Best Designs For Your Trendy Blueberry Milk Manicure
Blueberry milk nails are all the rage right now. The creamy blue effect is eye-catching and beautiful. Nail polish trends ebb and flow in the beauty world all the time, but there's a chance blueberry milk nails will have their time to shine for a while. Some of the most noteworthy celebrities to rock blueberry milk nails recently include Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, and Sofia Richie.
It's obvious that these celebs are giving their stamp of approval to this nail trend based on selfies they've been posting on social media. Zendaya is another famous face who was spotted rocking blueberry milk nails at a Louis Vuitton Spring Menswear show in 2023. If you look up blueberry milk nails on TikTok, you'll be bombarded by an influx of hundreds of videos of different interpretations. Beauty lovers are learning how to pull off gorgeous blueberry milk nails at home on their own, but if that seems like too much work, you can simply request this lovely color — in all its variations — at the nail salon.
Sugary baby blue nails
When your blueberry milk nails are covered in layers of glitter, it looks like you've been cheffing it up with some sugar. This nail artist dipped her fingers into multiple tubs of glitter to create the perfect sugary blueberry milk nails as a final result. To finish, she topped everything off with a thick layer of clear coat polish.
Silky baby blue nails
Whenever blueberry milk nails have a slight silky shine to them, they're comparable to silk bedsheets, pillowcases, and eye masks. Silk pieces of clothing are always seen as extra luxurious and comfortable to wear, and having nails that represent that vibe in a shade of blueberry milk is equally fabulous.
Pool time baby blue nails
Are you ready to take a dip in the pool? If so, why not make sure that your blueberry milk nails match? These pool-time baby blue nails are a little more vibrant than other shades of blueberry milk nails you might notice, and unless you're a seasoned nail expert, you're probably better off visiting a salon for this one. But either way, they'll be sure to help you make a "splash."
Whitened baby blue nails
If you're going to make blueberry milk, it'll require at least two crucial ingredients: blueberry syrup and milk. If you add more milk than you're supposed to, the blueberry syrup will end up looking more whitened out. That's exactly what happened with this set of whitened baby blue nails, which is ideal for a subtler approach to the trend.
Cotton candy baby blue nails
Cotton candy blue nails will have you thinking about all the festivals and fairs you went to in your childhood. They start with a baby blue shade closer to the base of your nail and finish with a light shade of pink toward the tips, in a mystical ombré effect. You can always get these nails done with the colors reversed as well.
Blue gradient nails
Gradient blue nails are fun to experiment with since there are several different shades of baby blue to admire. When each of your nails is covered in a different shade of blue, the beauty of the palette is easier to appreciate and take note of. These blueberry milk nails offer different levels of "flavor."
Splotchy glitter baby blue nails
Blueberry milk nails with splotchy patches of glitter are perfect for a day spent at a music festival or rave. If you're adding the glitter splotches to your nails yourself, get creative with how much you're adding to each of your nails. This way, the glitter splotches won't all be so matchy-matchy and boringly uniform.
Baby blue almond-shaped nails
Is there a classier nail shape to choose from than almond? They look natural and realistic, which is great news if you're hoping to wear these baby-blue nails to work while maintaining a sense of professionalism. Opt for baby blue French tips for an even more elegant version of this trend.
Indigo blue nails
With so many shades of blue to choose from when getting your nails done, decision paralysis can really kick in. But indigo blue is definitely one to add to your list for blueberry milk considerations. While this deep color doesn't really scream "milk," the lighter highlights throughout stay true to the trend while giving you an inky, edgy manicure.
Snowflake glitter baby blue nails
These snowflake nails are just as stunning as other blueberry milk sets since the pale blue shade doesn't shout out at you with too much vibrancy, which is one of the reasons this set of nails is so visually magical. Get creative by using snowflakes on some nails and French tips on others, and finish it off with some glitter.
Lavender blue nails
Lavender isn't exactly in the blue family since it's part of the purple palette, but having blueberry milk nails with a lavender hue takes the best from both worlds. This set is lavender blue with literal lavender nail art on the feature nails to add even more individuality.
Chrome baby blue nails
Why not have some fun with chrome baby blue nails? The blueberry milk trend is so much more enjoyable if you're experimenting with different finishes, and the shiny chrome coat is the perfect way to inject even more glam into the trend. This is a particularly great variation if you have an exciting event to attend, like a party or a wedding.
Sparkly pale blue nails
Glitter always makes a significant difference, especially when it comes to your nails. Adding an extra layer of sparkle and shine to pale blue nails helps them stand out, especially if it's a special occasion! With that added glittery effect, it's impossible they'll go unnoticed, so opt for this style to turn some heads.
Night sky baby blue nails
These beautiful baby blue nails depict imagery of a night sky. The nail technician in charge of creating this set drew inspiration from the stars, clouds, and half-moons floating in the sky after the sun sets. To replicate this design, go for a blue color that isn't overly bright or vibrant to maintain blueberry milk energy.
Plaid pattern baby blue nails
These baby blue nails with a plaid pattern are as trendy as it gets, mixing the blueberry milk mani with an old money aesthetic. You'll need flawless precision with a nail brush to recreate this look at home, so when in doubt, head to your local salon and leave it to the professionals.
Holiday season baby blue nails
These blueberry milk nails are directly related to the holiday season since they're covered in snowflakes, though this time without the glitter. You can replicate this look with stickers or a nail brush combined with a steady hand. Indeed, not everyone lives somewhere snowy, but these nails still deserve their time to shine as part of the blueberry milk trend. Blue and white polish will always pair well.
Wintery baby blue nails
No matter what season of the year it is, you deserve to love your nails. Nails that give off a wintery vibe with a cool-toned shade of blue aren't just reserved for cold weather, either. These overcast nails are a moodier version of the blueberry milk mani, and as wintery as nails can get! Still, they'd look fabulous all year long.
Abstract swirl nails
How abstract are you willing to go with your set of nails? If abstract art is something that entices you, these abstract nails are a great way to jump on the blueberry milk bandwagon thanks to the combination of blue and white. This artsy design looks great on any nail shape, but the longer your nails, the more space you have to get creative.
Grayish baby blue nails
Gray is often a color that's associated with things that are dry, plain, or boring. Blueberry milk nails that lean toward the grayish side are far from those things, though, especially if they're finished with a glossy top coat rather than being matte. The sharper shape of these grayish baby-blue nails might also be part of the reason why they're so exquisite.
Ocean pattern nails
Having sea-like designs painted on your nails is a great way to make a statement with blueberry milk polish. Ocean-themed nail polish in gentle shades of baby blue is reminiscent of crashing waves at the beach, along with blueberry milk. Complete the look with adornments like stickers, chrome powder, and varying textures.
Glossy baby blue nails
Glossy blueberry milk nails are worth considering before your next trip to a nail salon. This set of glossy blueberry milk nails reflects incoming shine and looks even more stunning thanks to the sharpened almond shape of each nail. Almost gray, they're super milky and give sophistication all day long.
Frosted baby blue nails
Frosted baby blue nails are a fabulous way to add some additional shine to your basic set. Baby blue nails are always nice to look at, but when an extra layer of frosted shine is added on top, they glimmer whenever the light reflects off them and are particularly well-suited to winter.
Shimmery baby blue nails
These shimmery blueberry milk nails are divine. The sparkles glimmer on the surface of each nail in an elegant way, while still giving blueberry bubblegum vibes. Although these nails might not be considered professional for the workplace or a job interview setting, they're perfect for social outings with friends.
Floral baby blue nails
It's hard to go wrong with your nails when you're adding floral prints and designs to the surfaces. This set of blueberry milk nails shows off most nails with baby blue French tips. The ring finger nail is personalized with a small feminine flower decal in the center.
Heart print blue nails
Blueberry milk nails are even more fun to play around with when you add different prints and designs. This set of blueberry clear nails has blue hearts scattered across. Each nail comes with one blue-colored heart painted close to the cuticles. These can easily be created at home with a small nail brush.
Speckled baby blue nails
These speckled baby blue nails put a pleasant twist on typical blueberry milk nails. Instead of a solid blue shade of milky polish, this set shows off tons of speckles on the surfaces of each nail. The speckles slightly resemble sparkles, but they're much darker and less shiny than your average sparkles.
Mermaid baby blue nails
Do you believe in mermaids? These shimmery nails are enough to make anyone think twice. The blueberry milk color is made to look more special with a layer of glittery shimmer painted on top. These nails look just like mermaid scales glinting under the sun, but you won't need real magic to pull them off at home — just a shade of electric blue and a top coat of glitter. Clearly, mermaidcore is still thriving in the beauty world.
Watercolor baby blue nails
Are you feeling artsy? These watercolor baby blue nails go beyond any normal blueberry milk nails you've seen. The colorful swirls look like they come from the canvas of an art studio as the blue swirls together with pink, yellow, and white polish. You can create this at home with a marble technique, mixing the colors together with nail brushes and scrunched plastic wrap, or get a professional to do it for you.
Springtime baby blue nails
Blueberry milk nails that remind you of the spring season are so high-vibrational and fun to look at. Blueberry milk nails are great when the color is solid, but mixing in a few flower decals is perfectly on brand if springtime is the season of the year that typically boosts your mood.
Neon baby blue nails
Blueberry milk nails with a neon tint are so much fun! These are more opaque than your typical set of blueberry milk nails, and the color looks especially alluring on a square nail. To recreate this style, the hardest step is finding the right shade of blue that is equal parts bright and milky.
Baby shark design nails
If you know of any young kids who love the song "Baby Shark," these nails will probably make them smile, too. The bottom layer is blueberry milk-colored while the sharks are painted in a darker shade. Unless you can find some shark stickers or have a very steady hand, you'll probably want to get these professionally done.
Cloudy sky baby blue nails
This set of cloudy sky baby blue nails is representative of a gloomy day. Fortunately, even when the weather is gloomy, the great outdoors can still be as gorgeous as ever. The bottom layer of blueberry milk-colored polish is painted beneath an assortment of clouds, which you'll be able to pull off at home with a few different colors and a small nail brush.
Summer blue nails
The most pleasant detail about these summer blue nails is that the color is so fiercely vibrant and bright. These blueberry milk nails have a neon tint to them, which helps them look far more summery than any of your typical shades of pale blue. Top these off with a glossy coat to help the cyan shade reach its full potential.
Ombré baby blue nails
The talented nail technician who completed this set knows a thing or two about ombré polish. They painted the pointer and pinky fingers with normal French tips, but the rest of the nails are painted in an ombré style. Combining ombré and milky blue will help you to rock two trends at once.
Pure blueberry milk nails
This set of blueberry milk nails is as pure as it gets. The nail technician kept things simple and sweet without adding any intricate designs or swirls, and in this case, less is definitely more. No matter what shape your nails are, the vibrant milky color is a 10.
