With so much uncertainty in the world right now, doing something as simple and ritualistic as an at-home manicure can work wonders for your mental health. Lately, there's one shade we've been gravitating toward especially: a calming pastel blue.
Whether you play with a 2.0 take on a traditional French tip or opt for a solid cream finish, pale blue can feel like a deep, restorative breath of fresh air. In fact, experts say that blue paint can create a serene feeling at home — and the same goes for your nails.
From a bottle with an NYC nail salon-stamp of approval to under-the-radar brands you're about to see all over Instagram, we've rounded up 10 of our favorite polishes to get the look, ahead.
