I don’t paint my nails much anymore because I have to keep my nails so short and don’t have time to do a mani anymore. I’m going to shoot some promo pics with my harps for my website, and I thought it would be fun to match my nails to them! Any recs?

Color Club’s Bright Night is the best dupe I found. What a gorgeous color for an instrument!

Not quite as cobalty maybe but every time I see a black blue I say Punkish Polish Dead on Arrival. It’s so pretty 🤩

If that’s too navy blue blue my other favorite dark blue that’s not a super bright bright like casa de Heaven, is OPI Chopstix and Stones, but I don’t have a picture of it by itself handy.
If any of the photos would be black and white (headshots etc) then I’d go with a metallic or flaky gold rather than an ultramarine blue, because you’d get more dimension in the B&W shots.
Have you considered a contrasting color as well, for the color shots? A true red would be a really nice contrast. Also take into consideration any makeup you plan to wear — red nails and red lipstick is a nice touch if that’s your vibe, but something softer would work as well if you don’t want to be that bold.
I instantly thought of Abracadabra by ILNP. It is a rich blue with gold in it.
