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Just like the iconic french manicure, which remains a dominant style, white nails are a look that won’t ever become outdated.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.
