A white nail polish that is chalk white is something that people tend to avoid. Brands are often frowned upon for creating such colors and they are often only purchased to be used as a base for something else.
The white nail polish you see in this manicure embraced the often frowned upon idea wholeheartedly. It’s a plain matte white that looks just like chalk. And I love it.
I’ve always liked crisp white colors. Not to say that I don’t like all the fun variations on white with grey, blue, pink, etc. undertones or a pearly sheen, but you just can’t beat the crispness of a plain chalky white. And due to its simplicity, it can be paired with any nail art or decals like the fun clock ones I used here.
How do you feel about chalk white nail polish?
Thank you for reading. Be Kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat, here
China Glaze Fast Forward top coat, here
Color Club ‘Chalk It Up’ nail polish, here
Clock full nail decals, unfortunately I couldn’t find clock designs, but there are some other pretty options here, here and here

September 1, 2018 at 7:54 amI actually really like white nail vanish, however I do have to admit that it feels like a very much of a bride 👰🏻 colour In my opinion. One white nail looks fabulous though mixed with more casual colours.
I love your nail art girl! Always fabulous xx
Much Love

September 2, 2018 at 2:06 pmWhen I was young
I remember that having chalk white nail polish was
all the rage and my mother would have it in all
her nails which may be the younger generation
finds boring and bland with all the available colors
and designs nowadays. And wow! combining it with
other colors and design makes it look chic.
I love your nails… so pretty ♥
Kathrin
September 5, 2018 at 3:45 amOh wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing.
I have heard quite a few people refer to it as boring, but I’ve always liked it 🙂

September 2, 2018 at 7:46 pmI used to love wearing any white shade on my nails when I used to paint them. It complements the clock design so well!

September 3, 2018 at 5:49 amHello Kath
I m tired to tell you that you are a truly art nail artist. I never saw anything like the work you do with your nails in any place else, you have a unique style. And i do love white. I dont think its a brides color. And the pics are great.

September 4, 2018 at 6:28 amI find white Nail Polish a must have color because it is so versatile, you can use it as a background color, trace the tips of your nails for a beautiful French manicure or wear it as the main color to make your nails pop.
Kathrin
September 5, 2018 at 4:07 amThat’s true. It really is. Aside from black, it’s my most used nail color 🙂

September 8, 2018 at 6:20 pmI honestly like white nail polishes. Because people are staying away from it and makes it more special as few people use it. This is actually my favorite.
