Looking for manicure inspiration? Take a page out of Holly Golightly’s book and opt for a Tiffany Blue hue. The iconic shade is instantly recognizable. After all, it’s nearly synonymous with its namesake brand. (The luxury jeweler even had the shade standardized by Pantone in 2001—and the exact custom color is only available for the company’s use.)
As far as nail colors go, this one happens to be surprisingly versatile. Wear it on its own for an unmistakable blue box-inspired moment, or pair it with chrome, stripes, or even ocean motifs for a one-of-a-kind mani that’s seriously chic. All the cool girls are wearing teal manicures this summer, and this look falls right in line.
Scroll on for 13 Tiffany Blue manicures perfect for breakfast and beyond.
The Classic
What better way to honor such a classic color than with a classic manicure? This elegant square set keeps it simple with an opaque, glossy shade of Tiffany Blue.
Lean Green

As mentioned, Tiffany & Co. has a lock on their signature color. As far as your nail polish is concerned, this means you can play around with whatever tone suits you best. This shade, Holo Taco’s Salt Water Taffy, leans a little more green.
Go for a Swirl
Hit two trends at once with this “your nails but better“ meets Tiffany Blue mani. After applying a nude base color and letting it fully dry (and we mean really dry), layer Tiffany Blue curves and swirls on top for easy DIY nail art that looks seriously impressive.
Olive & June
Though it’s certainly a good choice, Tiffany Blue doesn’t have to be the center of your entire manicure. If you just want a touch of the shade, go for a Skittle manicure and place it among your other favorite colors.
Absolute Flames
We love this take on a French mani: Tiffany Blue tips with chic blue-flamed accent nails. While the flames certainly require a steady hand, the French tips can be done by even the least experienced at-home nail artists. Just use Orly’s Half Moon Guides.
A Mani Fit for a Mermaid
These sea-glass-inspired nails are downright mesmerizing. (We especially love the little bubble details.) To really get this look right, layer a classic Tiffany Blue shade as your base, followed by a piece-y, sparkly blue polish, and set with a top coat. Once the nails are fully dry, go back in to create those dewdrops.
Glittery French Tips

Though certainly fun to have, you don’t need a Tiffany diamond to match your manicure. Amp up the sparkle with a glittery top coat instead.

Nail artist Zola Ganzorigt used OPI’s I’m Yacht Leaving to create Hailey Bieber’s iconic Tiffany Blue glazed donut mani before topping the polish with OPI’s Tin Man Can.
Tiffany Chrome
Give the classic Tiffany Blue shade a futuristic twist by opting for a holographic chrome finish.
Flower Child
Between the florals and free-form waves, this manicure is made for warm weather and sunny days. To get this exact look, try the shade Drop Dead Tiffany by Luxa Polish.
Going for Gold
For an art-deco-inspired manicure, opt for a geometric design like this one. Add a pop of gold for good measure (and a little wow factor). Best of all, it’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home—just pick up a pack of nail stencil stickers.
Tiffany Blue Glazed Donut—Pearlescent Edition

Looking for something more daring than a conventional manicure but not quite ready to go full chrome? Consider a pearlescent take on Tiffany Blue.
Zebra Stripes
For an unexpected take on Tiffany blue nails, layer an animal print on top of the unmistakable hue. This zebra-printed mani is so punk rock.
