A stark contrast to glowing skin, white nails are a beautiful way to bring out a tan in summer. Make sure you buy a polish that is thick enough to completely cover your nail. A translucent hue just won't look that good.
Bright yellow is a great color to match with your white manicure—try it on your toes!. The sunny shade spells long, hot summer days and just begs you to show off your feet in strappy sandals.
A white dress may not seem like the best choice when your nails are the same color, but matching your nail polish to your outfit is big this season. Plus, there's just something about white on white...
Pretty pastels are also beautiful with white polish. Add a light lilac to your toes or wear a big colorful, chunky ring to show off your clean white manicure.

Last summer I was rocking the white nails on my toes because I felt it made my tan look more glowy than coral. I think I just wanted to match my nailcolour to my bikini!

If only I tanned, I'm not sure how this would look on my ultra-pale skin... [sigh]

I love the look of white or light colored nails, but I can never pull it off because they always seem to get dirty. I am always getting my foundation on them (which is brown obviously) so its just too much of a hassle. But I love seeing it on people!

i am such a big fan of painting my nails white! it looks so amazing and different. i am not at all surprised this is a fad this summer because it looks great! i would definitely suggest that everyone try painting their toe nails white instead of their fingers. it looks GREAT and screams open toe shoes.
