What’s fresh, classic and never out of style? An all-white manicure! It’s true that white nails have long been a go-to look for any one looking for an elegant mani without the frills or fuss. But these days, white nails are back with vengeance. And they’re the perfect way to wave goodbye to the summer heat as we transition into our fall mani inspo board.
Nail Trends to Try Before Summer Ends
The summer of the manicure is wrapping up, but there’s still time to try some of the most iconic nail trends of the season. From brat nails to solar nails, there are countless ways to spice up your manicure for the ultimate look. Take inspiration from Blake Lively’s micro floral nails or dive in to electric blue look J-Lo was caught sporting for a fresh new take on your average manicure.
From cute nail art to micro details, you’re sure to find a trend that you fall in love with.
Stay Above the Trends With a White Mani
Just like the iconic french manicure, which remains a dominant style, white nails are a look that won’t ever become outdated. The simple, clean look gives the ultimate rich girl manicure, embodying that effortless class that’s so in style.
And of course, there’s more to white than you might think. There are countless shades of white and off-white that subtly change the feel and effect of your manicure. Pure white might give a tennis-core or Olympic nails vibe, while a more subdued off-white gives a white-linen vacay vibe. The minimalism of white helps communicate an effortless feel that defines the clean girl and rich girl aesthetics.
We’ve collected the shades of off-white and white nails that we love so you can build your next minimalist mani. And if you do love nail art, an all-white manicure is the perfect canvas to make art stand out.
