Midnight blue nails are one of the first major nail polish trends of 2026. Building on 2025’s simple, back-to-basics color schemes, 2026 is set to take this trend even further, and a gorgeous midnight sky blue fits the bill.
Need some nail color for your next nail salon appointment? When I’m totally stuck, I open Instagram and see what Hailey Bieber’s manicure has to say. Yes, she has the signature look of understated glazed nails in every possible variation, but sometimes, she’s great for a surprise ensemble. Lemontini nails and fruit decals in the summer, chrome in the fall, and what for the winter? Bieber supports Midnight Blue Mani.
The Rhode founder posted about her friend and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner’s new fragrance, Cosmic Intense Parfum, on her IG Story, showing off the ultra-dark midnight blue nail polish on her short, almond-shaped nails. It’s a hue with season-appropriate depth and intensity that’s a fresh twist on the usual burgundies and browns. And, it works on any nail length or shape. Bieber isn’t the only one wearing this gorgeous blue hue on his nails, either, as some of our favorite manicurists have also tried the color — plus, various shades of blue were all over the runways.
Here’s some inspiration for your next midnight blue manicure.
