Finding the Perfect Not Quite White Nail Polish

Not Quite White Nail Polish Colors

For a while now I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect white nail polish. I wanted it light, super light. At least a few shades lighter than my own very fair skin. But it couldn’t actually be white, that felt a little bit too much like a school girl using White Out as nail polish, and the look is a bit too jarring. Add a touch of pink or nude, and the effect is a modern white nail polish rather than a harsh white.

Today I’m sharing some of the best white nail polishes that I found, have you tried this color? It feels very light and airy after the brights I’ve been wearing all summer. I can’t wait to wear them this fall with tans and burgundy clothes!

    Great idea for a post! Which color are you wearing in the picture? I am very fair as well and would love to find a “white” polish as you did.

    Thanks,
    Karen

      That’s pre-show jitters, though I’ve been wearing a lot of them on rotation

      I forgot to mention! That’s the Essie, Pre-Show Jitters šŸ™‚

    I’m totally going to try this Deborah Lippmann color. I feel like none of the white polishes I have have good coverage, but I do love the DL brand and willing to try again šŸ™‚ Sounds like a perfect mani color for my tropical vacay later this year.

      I think it’s so fresh and clean in a hot climate. I’ve loved it this summer!

    I like a little pinkish white and that Sally Hansen in sheer nirvana is Perfect. I will try that and the regret moon. You’re nails looks great by the way
