A crisp, clean white is a fab canvas for lots of styling additions. If you want your manicure to perfectly complement your white, you're in luck. Because white is a neutral shade, you've got tons of options. Learn a few of them and put an exclamation point on your white ensemble.

White

Way back when, matching your polish to your outfit was chic, then it was passe. Well, now it's chic again, so feel free to paint on some white polish. This looks especially fantastic in the summer months. Wearing white on white can look incredibly modern and fashion forward, so get yourself a good white mani and pair it with a little white dress.

Red Hot

A fierce, fiery red makes for a striking contrast to your white outfit. Red is a classic shade that looks elegant and feminine on everyone. Your fab red really stands out against your white. Go bold with a colorful cherry red shade, or try one in a more subdued berry.

Bright Blues

If you're looking to have a little fun with your nails, try a bright, playful shade like a teal or baby blue. Today's nail polish is all about having fun. No need to stick with just pinks and reds. So, try a brighter shade to go with your white, neutral dress. The color will really pop against your white outfit.

Make Me Blush

Light, delicate feminine shades look incredibly pretty with white. Try blushes, pinks and nudes to give yourself a decidedly romantic and girly accent to your all white. Try these shades with white cocktail frocks, blouses, skirts and sundresses. It works in the winter too, so try a lighter shade with your winter white pieces.
