This fall, I've been spotting beautiful women all around the city with navy nails, which look incredibly chic and elegant. Here, my friend Kendra is wearing this polish (Midnight Cami). Thoughts? Will you wear navy nails this fall? (Photos by Alpha Smoot for Cup of Jo; styling by Kendra Smoot. Army jacket from Urban Outfitters, similar chambray shirts here and here, and pouch from American Apparel)
Oh I love that - wish I had read this last week before my manicure!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try it! I always wuss out once I'm at the nail salon and end up getting a pale pink, but I think this time I'll follow through and be bold ;).
ReplyDeleteI love the navy nail trend. I had mine painted navy last week and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteYes - I've already worn them.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. LOVE the navy nails. I wonder if they have it in shellac as a manicure lasts a hot second on me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like this trend! I bought a midnight blue OPI color last year and hardly wore it. Glad I can get more use out of it this year. Maybe it's not appropriate for work, but on the weekends - definitely. Keep up the good work.

Do you know where the army green clutch is from?
ReplyDeleteI wore navy nails last week--Butter London's "Royal Navy". It was by far one of my favorite manis ever and I can't wait to wear it again in a week or two!
ReplyDeletePs. Jo, for at home mani's have you tried the Pam trick? Spray your at home mani with Pam (yes the cooking spray) and wait about 5 minutes, wash your hands and your nails are completely set! Perfect for mom's on the go--enough time to dry and get some stuff done before nap time is over!

Wow, that is an awesome tip. Going to try it tonight!
DeleteWHOA! Thanks! :)
DeleteThey look fantastic with the army green and oatmeal. I suppose with any earthy color they'd look great. And, if the weather goes all schizophrenic and we have an 80 degree day, they'd still look stylish with a hot pink sun dress.
ReplyDeleteIt really does go well with those tones! In fact, I was thinking about how hard it is for me to find nail colors that work with both my darker Asian skin tone and the (usually Caucasian) skin in beauty blog posts, and how suitable I think this navy is for both... and I just realized that's probably because *I'm* an earthy color!
Deleteyes yes yes! navy nails are all i wear right now:) so chic with everything! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNavy nails are THE trend for fall. Your friends nails look gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletehttp://beautyaddictsguidetothegalaxy.blogspot.co.uk/
ps that army green jacket + chambray button down is one of my exact favorite fall outfits! right down to the curls + navy nails! so chic & simple!
ReplyDeleteI like it--but I never get manicures because they don't last long enough.
ReplyDeleteSide note: My "something blue" for my wedding was a pedicure with blue polish!
was just contemplating what my go-to nail color should be for the fall so i could go pick up a bottle - thanks!
ReplyDeleteand i'm totally trying the Pam trick from the comment above ...
I like it. Essie has some pretty colors. I might have to treat myself to a new color.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Navy nails suit me more than the black trend that was popular for a while. I would love to know where Kendra's chambray shirt is from. I have been searching for the perfect one for a long time. Thanks so very much!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Navy's my favorite color - so I may need to grab some for fall!
ReplyDeleteMy "something blue" for my wedding was a blue pedicure too!
I love the blue nails... I want to learn how to make my nails look as professional as when I go to the nail salon. RoRos World
ReplyDeleteI already do!
ReplyDeleteI should say that I don't like this tren, because I don't. But these pictures may change my mind!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, extremely elegant. I 'd love this blue on an evening dress too.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to know the info for the army green jacket and clutch! The color combo looks great.
ReplyDeleteI searched high and low for Essie's Bobbing for Baubles last year and finally found it at a crappy CVS. It's a perfect navy, too. So pretty!
ReplyDeletegood to know! thanks!

i've got navy right now! :) love love love fall colors.
ReplyDeleteCND does have a Shellac shade called Midnight Swim that is brand new and amazing, for those looking for a dark navy nail that LASTS.
ReplyDeleteAlso... where is that Chambray shirt from? It's to die for!
Love the navy nails! I also love a dark chocolate (almost black) or dark teal for fall.
ReplyDeleteI love navy nails, but you have to find a color that actually reads as navy out of the bottle... some end up looking a little too electric blue once on your nail.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm ahead of a trend for once?! That never happens! ;) I wore navy nails for my engagement pictures last fall -- I loved them!
ReplyDeleteYES! I've done it, and I'll do it again.
ReplyDeleteI love dark nails for fall... As a pale girl I don't like to wear straight black, I think navy will be an awesome alternative!
ReplyDeleteXO Lucy
I totally love this color and have been rocking it for a little while. I am also totally into Stylenomics -- a deep green that I have been totally pairing with my fall reds-- http://frommpdaily.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-new-fall-nails.html
ReplyDeleteI wore my nails navy for about 6 months in 2008. LOL I do really like it. I might have to bring it back this winter. :)
ReplyDeleteyes, i will totes sports them this fall.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!!! I love this colour!!!
ReplyDeleteBESOS FROM BARCELONA!

LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI bought this nail polish this summer and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the navy nail. You know what else I love right now? The forest green nail. :) Just blogged about it a couple weeks ago - kind of obsessed!

gorgeous
ReplyDeleteabsolutely. it's on my wishlist some time now..
ReplyDeleteI love them in theory, but I think the color actually only looks good on some skin tones. On others (read: mine) it looks pretty corpse-y, way more so than straight up black. So I'll avoid it myself, but I encourage everyone else to rock it!
ReplyDeletehttp://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
I'm wearing navy nails right now :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments! I asked Kendra, and she said the chambray shirt is an old one by Velvet, the jacket is an old one from H&M, and the green pouch is from American Apparel! http://store.americanapparel.net/accessories-bags---wallets.html?r=Pouches+%26+Clutches

I LOVE navy nails, my roomie got me navy nail polish for my birthday in April and I actually used it as my summer color! So chic.
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing it now! OPI Roadhouse Blues. Love.
ReplyDeleteI am wearing navy nail polish on my toe nails right now!
ReplyDeletelonestarash.blogspot.com
always love navy nails and wow it now becomes a trend! :D
ReplyDeletepriskapavita.blogspot.com
I've been wearing them all summer long.....whoops?
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I'm doing navy nails for my wedding!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been sporting navy toes and fingers all year. I love it!! Yesterday was the first time that I switched to a deep purple, almost black, which I also love!
ReplyDeletei have navy nails right now!! whootwhoot!
ReplyDeleteI just bought essie's "No More Film" and I'm obsessed - it's a dark indigo/purple/navy and it is my new go-to for fall.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI literally just finished painting my nails navy! OPI's "Road House Blues" is another great option.
ReplyDeleteI love the little ones hat...do you know where she found that? :) the nails are fun too!
ReplyDeleteI think this dark blue looks great! Very elegant and chic. I definitely need to get some blue nail polish asap. :)
ReplyDeletexo Andrea
Wonderful and Marvelous
I'm still addicted to your galaxy nails tutorial. I usually wear them midnight blue for a day, then the next day I continue with the galaxy effect!
ReplyDeleteThey are still wow, AND blue!
I love navy nails! I could never pull off black nails, because I bite mine so my hands always looked stubby. But, with navy nail polish they're cute and don't look short. Win, win situation for me :)
ReplyDeletei'm wearing navy nails now :) OPI's roadhouse blues
ReplyDeletea peek of chic
...Is that baby wearing leg warmers?
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking the look of this and I think I will definitely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI love navy nails!
ReplyDeleteMal @ The Chic Geek
I haven't made it quite over to navy yet because I'm stuck on dark purple! I'm wearing Devil's Advocate by Essie. Maybe I'll have to pick up the dark blue next time I'm at Target!
ReplyDeleteI love navy nails. Dark purple also makes me giddy :)
ReplyDelete-Sarah {tukerup.blogspot.com}
such a great color, if i wasn't a red kind of person i would try it
ReplyDeleteI love the navy nails! I'm going to grab a color soon. I like that army green jacket too.

Love this color and as a matter of fact I am already rockin' it :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
oh, yes!!! love. i also have the baby accessory to go with, so i'm all set for fall.
ReplyDeleteI looove this color, especially in combination with army green (as in photos above)!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the navy! This is a color I'd probably save for a manicure rather than trying to mess with dark polish at home.

currently wearing a fantastic version by illamasqua called phallic. dark navy and slightly sparkly. bought it at sephora and love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteI got some navy polish with a hint of charcoal in my birchbox and I am loving it!
ReplyDeleteLove this blue. Off to shop now!
ReplyDeleteLove this midnight cami, I've been a fan of navy for years... so glad its now in, apparently.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this color! I will definitely sport navy nails this fall!
ReplyDeleteOohh love this! I wonder if it's work appropriate? (I'm an attorney.) I guess I'll try it and find out!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a big fan of navy nails. One of my favorites is Russian Navy by OPI. For a cool color between navy and purple, (it's kind of a dark periwinkle?) I love Marrow by Butter London. Dark nails that are so chic and can be edgy at the same time! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI've recently gotten into gel nails because it's worth the investment to me to have good nails for a month instead of having them chip after 3 days and make my hands look childish. Right now I've got a silver shimmer on them BUT...I feel persuaded to try out navy next time! Either that or a deep purple/gray, or a maroon. Maybe I'm just indecisive.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeletei got a navy gel manicure yesterday. my nails are really short just like your pics. i love the way it goes with everything. especially khaki which is on of my favorite fall colors. try it. it's dreamy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've been pining to find a new nail color but just didn't know what to get. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the colur! Not as stark and in your face as the black polish - I could never pull that look off myself. I'm more of a red colour kind of gal... But I think I will give the navy a go!
ReplyDeleteOOOOH I love this! I heart navy...I will have to give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it! Wonderful to celebrate fall. :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing navy nails for a couple of years now and i LOVE IT. I'm obsessed with all things Navy, why not nails??
ReplyDeleteI love nail trends. Especially anything during the fall!!! I will definitely be trying the navy nail color that is one of my favorite colors. The pics are great!! Do you think red nail polish is a good color for any time of the year?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what kind of socks/tights is the baby girl wearing? They are super cute and would love to try that on my daugter. Shes just now 7 weeks old; shopping for girls is so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love Army jacket! It goes with everything!

I'm actualy down with cobalt blue right now. I just did my nails in Cobalt by Nina Ultra Pro from Sally's. In a couple of days, when I'm bored with it (I change polish every other day), I plan to layer butter London's Scouse over it to freshen things up.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Sadly, my nails are never in good enough shape to polish them!
ReplyDeleteSo ready to bust out my Royal Navy by Butter. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna...love your post today and navy nails! I just did my nails a Bordeaux color - the new popular color trend this fall. I love it! Have you seen Bordeaux colors around NYC? They are all over here in Hong Kong! I even did my post today styling all Bordeaux and my first giveaway! Very exciting! Thanks again for your great daily posts.

I must say, they look perfect with the chambray and Army green! Great styling job, Kendra. Those chubby baby legs and that perfect cap ... sigh.
ReplyDeleteI just slammed my finger in my fire door last week and it's slowly becoming a perfect shade of navy. An excuse to paint my other digits to match? I think so.
ReplyDeleteoooo... now i am dying to get some navy polish.
ReplyDelete@tabitha...the little girl is wearing babylegs warmers in super star.

ReplyDeletethanks!!
DeleteI just bought dark purple and dark green nail polish. And after seeing these pics I'm pretty sure navy blue needs to be the next purchase! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just got Essie's Smokin' Hot. It's a dark gray with a bit of eggplant in it. I really like it and it goes really well with jeans. :)
ReplyDeleteAs wonderful and tailored as they look I know I'll wind up sticking with red...nothing else ever feels quite right on me as much as I might love it on someone else...or like my husband says, I really need to expand my comfort zone!

abosolutely, especially with an army jacket!!
ReplyDeleteI just painted my nails navy, literally right before I read this post! I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually wearing navy right now! O.P.I. in Light My Sapphire. -jb.

Ok, you have to find you where that baby's hat is from!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's too warm in Charleston right now for most of my fall clothing (still well into the 80s), so I have to find other ways to remind myself it's October. Just painted my nails navy yesterday--thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDelete-Kristina
I wore navy nails last year for the Superbowl and I loved them. I would totally do them again. And, actually, I got tons of compliments on them - even from my mom, who normally dislikes any polish that basically isn't white, pink, or red.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited about this post I went out and bought the Essie polish today. Can't WAIT to apply! :)

I'd love to wear that color (and that army jacket), but I haven't had any luck finding it in stores around me or around my work.
ReplyDeletethumbs up, for sure.
ReplyDeleteOkay this adorable babies thigh highs? ADORABLE! Back to the topic, I love the navy, I'm currently wearing ox blood burgundy but my next polish change will have to be navy!
ReplyDeletehttp://two-leaf-clover.com
Oh, really elegant! Love it. But here we have spring now, I will have to wait.
ReplyDeletejoanna - any idea where your friend got those adorable star baby legwarmers? my little one is about to start crawling and we've got horrible berber carpet that is bound to tear up her sweet knees!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a pair from www.vonmaur.com for $6 with free shipping. You can also do a yahoo search for "babylegs warmers super star." They are sold by many online sites including amazon.

ReplyDeleteGotta love Essie!! katejones.me
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the blue Essie polish here on your blog? When i click on the link it takes me to a Essie light blue polish color. I'm not sure the exact color the model on your blog is wearing. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the color! I'm wondering the same as Emily, what color is it, because your link doesn't send you to the exact color of navy. I just found your blog and am looking through it, it wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow, nice post, there are many person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post. Thank you for sharing to us. Please one more post about that..hgh

ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the Essie navy blue polish? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteYes, what is the name of the navy polish? I clicked on the link, but it just showed a variety of Essie polishes. I tried a Navy nail polish that was so dark, it looked black. The one you show is a true Navy and I'd like to try it:)
ReplyDeleteObsessed with navy nail polish. I just bought OPI Road House Blues!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had seen this post before my last mani! I had been searching everywhere for the perfect Navy polish that isn't pearly/shimmery/glittery. Just a perfect, matte Navy Blue, please!! I went to Sephora, local beauty supply shops, and couldn't find the right shade. Finally found some random brand at a nail salon and have been LOVING my navy nails!
