If you want your nails to stand out, then opt for a polish in a summery shade of blue.

The Butter London nail polish in Keks pictured here is a rich turquoise shade that provides a great pop of colour.

The best thing about blue nail polish is that it goes with so many different colours. It looks good worn with pastel tones, double denim or with autumnal shades such as deep burgundy, mustard and khaki.

From subtle baby blue through to bright cobalt and rich navy, there is a blue nail polish out there to suit everyone. My favourites include Revlon's nail enamel in Dreamer, a baby blue shade; Bobbi Brown's nail polish in navy; and Lancome's Vernis in fade-resistant gloss shine Bleu de Flore, which is a deep blue colour.
