French
Classic French manicure is always relevant, and if it is made in blue, this adds even more expressiveness to the design. You can perform a manicure using a 3D gel or acrylic. First, the master imposes a standard jacket in blue, then the nails are covered with camouflage material, and from the top, a three-dimensional drawing is performed in white.
As an option, it is possible to make a dotted frame in white color on each nail under the main jacket, and on one of the fingers to make a white molding - a flower with a inserted rhinestone in the center.

Gradient manicure in blue-white color looks very elegant and artfully. If you use a blue tint, the nails will look very tender and spring-like. This manicure is suitable as a daily, as well as for trips to rest. If you apply ultramarine or purple hues, it will be a design for a gala evening.

Drawings
Blue and white are so contrasting, and at the same time they are so combined that they allow you to perform a variety of drawings on any subject on the nail plate. If a woman goes to sea, then you can "put" on the nail a white sail on a blue background. A very unusual variant is painting under Gzhel, but in this case it is better to use only two nails, for example, on the ring and middle finger, and paint the rest in a dark blue shade. White roses or other patterns on a blue background will look very tender and feminine.
Glitter and rhinestones

- we cover the nails on the thumb, index finger and little finger in a completely blue color; we apply the same shade on the middle nail, but with sparkles;
- Paint the nail of the ring finger with white lacquer and lay out the cobalt rhinestones on the border of the hole.
Variations of design with sparkles and rhinestones can be different, then the master can use all his imagination.
Adding red shades

You can add white or blue rhinestones.
Blue-red-white nails with an abstract design look very impressive. You can apply your favorite colors in random order in small strokes.
