In Europe, women who are at the top of the social ladder prefer white. This color is much more often used to create clothes and various accessories. It suits almost everyone, and is easily combined with other tones. To summarize, white is very practical. But is it practical for creating a nail design? In this article, we learn what designs of manicure can be created using white varnish.
Design Features
Most of the fair sex believes that white manicure is very romantic, and is suitable for absolutely any look. And if you add several decorative elements to it, then the most ordinary-looking design can be turned into an exquisite, fashionable and unusually beautiful manicure.
Often, nail service masters apply white varnish as the basis for creating designs with different colors or French manicure, very popular at all times. Yes, at the moment, a French manicure can be created without a white varnish, but everyone’s beloved so-called classic jacket without white is impossible.
Often girls have a plain white manicure, but even more often you can find a nail design with white varnish, which is complemented by various colors, patterns, symbols, rhinestones, sparkles and much more.
When creating a nail design with white varnish, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances of its application.
- It should be understood that white is quite “heavy”, and varnishes of this tone are better to get high-quality, from trusted manufacturers, even if they will be much more expensive. White varnish of low grade, on the nails will look very unsightly, leaving translucent spots, which can only be removed by multi-layer application. Because of this, the varnish will dry two to three times longer, which is very inconvenient.
- A manicure with white varnish should look perfect. The slightest scratch, scuffing or chipping on the nails will be noticeable, and it is better to update the manicure immediately.
- White color is the lightest tone, and therefore you need to understand that if the nail plate is not even, white varnish will emphasize this, which will significantly reduce the neatness and beauty of the manicure. To avoid this, the nails must be sanded before applying the varnish, and for the best result, apply a transparent varnish, the so-called base, for a more even application of the varnish.
- White manicures are more often preferred to be done on nails of medium length and any shape, oval or square. But if you want to make an interesting design with the addition of drawings and other elements, it is better to do manicure on long nails.
Manicure techniques
The perfect application of white varnish on nails requires a good technique. Here are a few simple rules that will help to make a manicure in white color high-quality and beautiful.
- Be sure to shake the bottle so that the pigment is mixed.
- Brush on the neck of the bottle you need to squeeze from yourself.
- After the brush is wrung out, a drop remains on it. This drop should be placed on the area next to the cuticle, and then open the brush, moving it closer to the cuticle, but in no case finding it.
- You need to stretch the brush to the free edge.
- If you walk with a brush from the previous stroke, it is better to draw it on the left, and if from the central one, on the right. Seal the end, and repeat the same steps on the second layer.
The technique for applying soft and dense varnish is different. When applying soft varnish, the brush should almost lie on the nail, and the varnish should be applied by movement "through the air." This method helps to avoid ugly stripes from the brush. Dense varnish is best applied at an angle of 45 degrees to the nail. Also, when staining the nail, it is important to ensure that the varnish does not flow under the cuticle, otherwise the entire layer will have to be removed and applied again.
If you follow a number of these simple rules, you can avoid a lot of trouble when creating a design with white varnish. The technique of applying varnish is quite simple to remember, you just need patience and self-confidence. At first you need to be more careful, attentive to every little thing, let it take you more time at first.
It is better to immediately pay attention to high-quality manicure than to repaint your nails over and over again.
Color combinations
It is worth noting that most often there are combinations of white varnish with black or red. These three colors are considered the most popular when creating a beautiful design. But there are many interesting options for manicure with other colors, for example, green and yellow, purple and lilac.
At present, monochromatic staining is very popular - manicure in two colors from different colors. Due to this, the nails look very unusual and interesting. For example, before green varnish was rarely used when creating manicure, especially in combination with white, but today green is quite relevant.
This tone wins among others with its style, which is perfect for both the summer and winter season. This color will appeal to all fashionistas who like to experiment with bright colors. And green varnish is unique in that it has many pleasant shades, such as emerald, malachite, herbal, watermelon, menthol, marble, azure sea or bottle mat.

The yellow shade looks good on both short and long nails, but still more often it can be found on longer nails, as girls like to come up with a variety of manicure designs with this color, and they require a little more space.
And one cannot but pay attention to how the combination of white with lilac and violet tones harmoniously looks. These pleasant shades are considered cold, but if you make a nail design with a similar palette in the summer, no one will suspiciously consider the result, on the contrary, everyone will admire the unusually beautiful and romantic design.
