Nailberry Blue Moon Nail Polish: $21

Typically, we're firm believers in reserving cool tones for winter and spring. However, we make an exception for a sapphire blue. Nailberry's Blue Moon is one of the best. It's not too bright, too shimmery or too matte. It's the perfect intersection of every finish in one of the most majestic shades of royal blue.
