White is a color that gets overlooked as basic, but done right it’s one of the most versatile, classy shades I paint, it works for every season and every occasion.
What I always tell clients considering white is that finish matters more than usual, a soft, semi-sheer white reads elegant while a stark opaque white reads bold.
Here are the 25 classy white nails my clients keep requesting.
Classic Glossy White
A clean, glossy white is the most requested version, crisp and endlessly versatile.
Soft Milky White
A sheer, milky white is one of the softest, most elegant options I offer.
White French Tip
A white tip on a nude base is a classic combination that never falls out of style.
White Nails with Gold Detail
A fine gold line against white gives a set a little extra polish for special occasions.
Short White Nail Sets
Short and glossy is my top recommendation for clients who want white to feel everyday, not overly formal.
