Put away your 50 shades of grey and brighten up your mani this season with a splash of white as seen on models at the Dior and Pucci shows. White polish was mixed with rich metallics, decorated tips and solid stripes. Want to know how? Read on!
When going for white always keep your cuticles tidy and moisturised. Dry cuticles can give the look of unkempt hands and will make your nails look like you’ve dipped them in regular paint. It also shows off the details better when the skin is healthy and glowing.
Always keep them looking glossy and shiny. Matte white nails can look as if they were painted with your stash of Tippex and this can also make any manicure look cheap if it’s not tidied off properly around the edges.
If you are doing your own mani, use a brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up around the cuticle and once it’s dried apply a cuticle oil to finish the look.
Do not be afraid to try a fun embellishment, a spot of metallic detail or even a pop of bright pink or blue as your signature nail to brighten up a regular manicure. Stencils are readily available at various pharmacies and beauty stores and can be applied to any mani. Use stars for beginners and bows, chains or even nail rings for pros.
