With the release of a four-second Instagram video, Jay-Z may have just launched this summer's biggest bridal trend. In honor of his seven-year wedding anniversary to Beyoncé, the mogul dropped a close-up shot of the moment in which he placed a massive rock on the singer's finger. Yes, the ring was beautiful. But all our inner beauty junkie saw is Queen B's cobalt nails, which are so captivating, they'll no doubt trigger a wave of brides doing similar manicures as their something blue nod.

Exactly which shade did Beyoncé wear? It may be Nails Inc. Nail Polish in Baker Street, the color that the singer sported in her first public appearance after giving birth to her daughter, Blue Ivy, as People magazine reported. If looking to borrow the look (whether you plan to walk down the aisle or not), there are plenty of newly-released shades that capture the color across the spectrum.

Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Indigo Night would make a perfect shade for goth girls; the color is so deep, it's nearly black in some light. For more adventurous spirits, Sonia Kashuk Nail Color in Peek-A-Blue delivers a brighter cobalt, while Orly Color Amp'd in City of Angels, a baby blue flecked with pink glitter, is the perfect shade for girls with a princess penchant.

We may not have been let in on the famously-private nuptials of music's royal couple, but these snippets from the day (and the fashion tips we cull from them) are the next best thing. Keep 'em coming, Carters!

Orly Color Amp'd in City of Angels $10; Nails Inc. Nail Polish in Baker Street, $10; Sonia Kashuk Nail Color in Peek-A-Blue, $5; Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Indigo Night, $32
