White is the new black this spring and what better way to wear it than on your nails? I've never really been convinced on the white nail look as I think it can look quite washed out (and as it's such a bold colour you have to have the perfect mani!) However, recently I have been gravitating towards them more but I still haven't found the perfect polish so maybe you could give me a couple of recommendations...
On my nails is the Maybelline Colour Show Nail Polish in Winter Baby (£2.99) - this is quite a milky, white colour and not as opaque as I was expecting it to be. I painted three coats and you can still slightly see my nail through the polish, making it quite time consuming! But it did not leave streak marks which I definitely didn't want. The consistency isn't at all gloopy and I can easily do the 'one stroke' like Essie nail polishes. Once I had given myself the time for this mani, it ended up looking really lovely (my trick is to leave a clean gap between your cuticle and polish,) very glossy and looks long lasting too!
Even though I love the look of my white nails I am still on the hunt for the perfect white polish.
I'm a big fan of white nails - they're just so simple yet eye-catching, especially in contrast with darker skin. And yep, they're pretty hard to accomplish, so I never dared to try them. I love that color on you but maybe we should go continue the hunt for a brighter shade of white xx

I agree with you! White nails look so nice if you are wearing everything white or black!
