We called it during fashion week, blue is going to be big for 2020. So when Pantone announced Classic Blue as its color of the year, we weren’t scrambling to find inspiration, it was already everywhere. And incorporating the color into your beauty routine is as easy as eyes, hair, and of course, nails.

You can get creative and go over-the-top with nails in a way that you sometimes can’t with your makeup, especially depending on your professional environment. And you can try all the different hues in the Classic Blue family, all on the same pattern if you choose. And then you change it up daily. These double-tap worthy nails below are showing us creative ways to get in on the color trend.

Incorporate it into a creative geometric pattern that has flair.

Nailing Pantone’s Color Of The Year Is Right At Your Fingertips

Ombre shades of the classic hue in a classic earth or ocean print.

Mix it up with past Pantone shades to create a colorful and fun look.

Go Art Basel with it and make abstract nail polish art that costs less than a banana.

If you’re not all the way feeling the blues, mix the color up with metallics that give it that extra pop.
