Nude and red nail polishes have a chokehold on people and nail trends, but not on me. Though they’re classic colours, I’m often bored by the constant nude pink, vivid red, and milk bath manicures on my social media feeds — in reality, I avoid those nail colours essentially the most. So it felt like a breath of fresh air after I spotted Kate Hudson‘s short periwinkle nails.

The “Almost Famous” actor attended the Giorgio Armani Privé Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023/2024 show on July 4 together with her blue mani. Her super short nails were filed right into a rounded shape that is flattering for its length. Her nails were so short that they barely peeked out past her fingertips.

Perhaps Hudson felt inspired by the recent blueberry milk nail trendwhich is kind of literally just a light-weight blue manicure. The bluish tint she selected was a pastel color that is correct in-between purple and blue, so it’s kind of darker than the blueberry manicures.

I actually love this periwinkle hue, and I’ll admit I is likely to be biased since it’s near lavender, my favorite color. Hudson hasn’t shared the polish details for these nails, but I did find a few nail polishes that look similar. Based on nail swatches, Essie’s Bikini So Teeny looks nearly equivalent to Hudson’s manicure. OPI’s Infinite Shine Nail Polish in To Be Continued is an excellent option for people who desire a lighter blueberry milk manicure.
