Reader Minh Vy asked for more “5 Ways” posts for polishes (by color), and I thought we’d do one on navy blues.

The 1st one is my favorite!
The first one is so pretty!!
Trind CC135.
Love them all!
Hi Christine, since you’ve done this awesome 5 nail lacquers post. Can I request for 5 “mint” colored nail lacquers? I like Essie Turquoise & Caicos and wondering if there are other similar options. Thank you in advance :))
That Lippmann polish just made my list! <3
My fav is OPI Russian Navy
These are beautiful, especially the Deborah Lippman one!
One of my favourite Navy polishes is OPI’s Russian Navy. It’s perfect!
Mmmm, Across the Universe is totally the favorite in my collection. So gorgeous.
These are all gorgeous. I actually don’t own any of these in particular, but several near dups that I love. OPI: Yoga-Ta Get This Blue, Misa: A Sin Worth Committing, ChG: Up all Night, and Bermuda Breakaway are just a few of the Navy Blue polishes I own and love.
Across the Universe is amazing!
i love the rescue beauty one… super cool christine..
Haha – awesome!! I was in the mood for navy blue today and I’m sitting here with night sparkle drying!
Nice! I just bought CG First Mate but have yet to use it. I’m not sure how well I’ll like it. I tend to go for more metallic, deep blues. Like RBL Under the Stars! It will be mine depending on which polishes Ji brings back – if it’s one I want, I’ll be placing an order & RBL Under the Stars will somehow make her way in my cart too (as well as a back-up of Iconoclast!). 😀 Speaking of blue polishes, I just ordered LMdB in Nobile Passion (I know there are name discrepancies, but the one I ordered is the deep blue shade).
Chanel Blue Satin!! My all time favorite blue nail polish
Essie Midnight Cami!
Love all of your picks Christine, they are gorgeous. Where do they sell that Lippmann brand at?
I love SpaRitual Sureal, like Twinkle but much darker!!
I got a bottle of this at Nordstrom. They run $18.
My favorite is Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm. I also like Across The Universe and Sally Hansen Thinking of Blue. And…:) I just love navy blue nails!
Thanks for posting these! I was looking for a blue to go with the season premire of Doctor Who next week! These are the perfect TARDIS blue!!
Another great one is Butter London’s Royal Navy – my favorite deep blue to date
My fave navy blue is Dior Bond Street. I have yet to come across a navy blue I don’t like. It’s my BF’s favorite color!
I’m another big fan of OPI’s Russian Navy. I love it. 🙂
Across the Universe is so gorgeous I got a backup bottle. I recently purchased one of the drugstore Essie’s in a shade called Dive Bar. Lovely dark blue. Have to be honest, I have the RBL and it doesn’t look nearly as shimmery on me, like I have to put my nails to someone’s face so they can see it.
MAC’s WW Spirit of Truth is also a great navy blue nail polish.
Just found your site and love it. If you don’t mind my asking, though, why don’t you paint your entire nail?
For easier removal and less staining and wear/tear on the cuticles!
I love Estee Lauder Blue Dahlia polish!
My favorite is Phalic from Ilamasqua
how do you get such nice and smooth finish! what top coat is that that you used?
I usually use Zoya’s Armor!
I need #2. That is gorgeous!
I loooooooove love love love love navy blue, shimmery polishes. Always have. One of my first polish obsessions. Right now I’m digging Zoya’s Ibiza, although the staining requires me to apply a white polish afterward. @_@
