Still, in these backstage pictures from the Rag & Bone Spring 2013 runway show, I can't help but think of how elegant the white nails look. It's clean, dainty, and feminine.
I was starting to get pretty curious with this white nail polish trend and thought I'd finally give it a try. I figured a pretty risk-free way (in case it looked horrible on me) was to find a pretty cheap white color, and I ended up falling on Joe Fresh's polish named, you guessed it, White.
And you know what? It really grew on me!
The polish isn't too stark against my skin tone, and it wore surprisingly well! It helped that the formula was quite nice, and opaque in two coats. And as a bonus, it made my hands look quite tanned.
I'm kind of sold on white nail polish because 1) it goes with everything 2) it's quite feminine and 3) hello tanned hands.
If you'd like something less stark, you could always try a white polish with shimmer as it tends to soften the bright white look.
Are you going to be trying out this trend?
I love white nail polish. It goes with everything and is a bit unexpected to see!

I really like this but not sure it will look as good on my fingers as it does on yours! I've just got a new white polish though so will give it a whirl :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I used to have a shimmery white that I wore to death. Dud you ever put highlighter over top of the white out for neon nails? Lol
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I'll give it a try, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way white polish looks on other people! Good tip with the shimmer, when I was a kid I used to paint my nails with white-out and wonder why it didn't work out.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! Looks unbelievably fresh!
ReplyDeleteI really like it! I love anything that Joe Fresh does, as well!
ReplyDeleteps - check out my JewelMint giveaway!
wow, you have applied this white nail polish so beautifully, I find the lighter, white based the nail polish, the harder to apply, not matter what brand though. I really like white with a slightly hint of pink in it, paired with a white summery dress, looks beautiful / CLaire xxx
ReplyDeleteI like white polish a lot! The bottle I have is kind of thick and hard to work with, though, so I don't wear it that often.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really pretty! I going to give this white nail polish a try. I think the polish will pop against my dark skin

Oooh, I actually really like this! I don't think I've ever worn white polish on it's own, I've just used it as a base for other colours. I have a bottle of Essie's Marshmallow somewhere though, so I might dig it out and give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI find people either love or hate this trend.. I am all for it!! Especially with a tan :)
ReplyDeleteJoes polish looks like it's better then i thought

I did jump on this trend earlier in the year - I went the shimmering white route since creamy shades were too stark on my skintone - and I love it! It seems you found a winner here too Annick, and you're right - white goes with everything :)
