Tips for Making Light Blue Fall Nails Last
Pale blue polish can show chips and staining more than deeper shades, so start with a good base coat and seal everything under a glossy top coat, refreshed every few days. Autumn air dries nails quickly, so work cuticle oil into your daily routine and wear gloves for washing up — hydrated nails hold delicate art like plaid, feathers and porcelain florals far longer.
From a single copper-foil accent to a full pumpkin-and-plaid set, light blue proves it belongs in the autumn palette. Pick your favourite frost, book the appointment, and carry a little bit of sky into the season.
