Keeping up with social media trends is a challenge in itself, but it seems not a day goes by without a new theory gaining attention. Latest doing the rounds on TikTok? "Blue nail theory" - or translated into Albanian, the theory of blue nails.
This theory has taken over Google searches during 2024 and it seems that it is not far from the famous "red nail theory". As the name suggests, the color you choose for your nails can send messages about your romantic status. Yes, exactly as you heard!
What is the "blue nail theory"?
According to the blue nail theory, if you ask your partner what color you should paint your nails, chances are the answer will be… blue. The experiment has been tried by many girls on TikTok, who have recorded the reactions of their partners.
Whether the theory started as a coincidence, it has become a powerful trend on social networks. Girls paint their nails blue to symbolize that they are "off the market" - or in Albanian, that they are busy. It's not the first time we hear about the blue nails theory, because this trend was very popular last year as well. Now we have an important question…
Why exactly blue?
Nail artist Mi Nguyen says that blue nails can symbolize stability and emotional calm. "It's no longer a bold or quirky color like it used to be. In fact, blue has become a very elegant and classic choice,” she explains.
Another reason for the increasing popularity of blue nails is the famous "blueberry-milk nails" trend, spread by Sofia Richie and other influencers. "Soft blues are bringing a new approach: they are subtle, chic and very suitable for every season," says Nguyen.
