A small reflective-looking accent can provide the focal point of a New Year palette. The reference swatch describes colour only; check the product images for the desired finish.
Why these colours
Royal blue is a saturated mid-to-deep blue. It supports strong colour blocking when the secondary colour is noticeably lighter.
White is the companion: White gives strong contrast and a crisp outline for tips or small details. The colour family alone does not establish whether a product is opaque or translucent.
Gold provides the accent: Gold is a colour direction; a flat digital swatch cannot show metallic reflection. Confirm the finish in the product photographs before choosing a gold accent.
A high-contrast party accent
Use the lead across four nails. On the fifth, divide the surface into a companion-colour area and a narrow accent edge to keep the palette controlled.
For this version, “lead” means royal blue, “companion” means white and “accent” means gold. Adjust the area of each colour after comparing your chosen product swatches.

Questions
Can I change the accent?
Yes. Start by changing only the gold accent while keeping royal blue as the lead. Compare the new palette at nail size so the important detail stays visible.
