What: Blue nail polish is the new black, or silver, or red.
What the experts say: The Los Angeles Times recently reported that if you think blue nail polish is only for high schoolers, you are so out of it: “The unexpected cool color is the latest in fingertip chic.�
What we say: If you’re tired of red and pink nails, this bold inky shade is a vibrant and trendy alternative. With nail polish companies coming out with all different shades of blue from Orly’s Blue Collar, which resembles a Tiffany box, for $3.50 to Essie’s Aruba Blue, which is more of a dark, sapphire hue, for $8, you have your pick of the litter. Just make sure you keep your manicure clean and chip free. If you let this color wear off one chip at a time, you really will look like you’re in high school.

What goes around comes around. I remember when Hard Candy introduced colors other than traditional red and pink. I think it was around 1995. I rushed out after a day of teaching middle-schoolers to buy myself a bottle at Saks. The only “color” left was gray. I bought it anyway so I could wear the little plastic ring that came with the bottle!
Fast forward 12 years.
Now I’m a mom of two and in the PTA--not sure how blue nail polish would go over at our next meeting.

I’m still loving Russian Navy from OPI. You can see a picture of it on my hand here:
