Trend: White Hot

Remember back in middle school when you would leave class with chalky matte fingertips all thanks to Wite-Out? Well, the minimalist all-white manicure is one of this summer’s hottest nail trends. To graduate this look from preteen to grownup, choose a polish with a hint of ivory to soften the look. Some current obsessions are Essie Blanc, Butter London’s Pearly Queen, Deborah Lippmann’s Amazing Grace and Chanel’s Eastern Light. Take your white mani to the next level by channeling Kate Spade’s spring/summer 2015 runway show. Using a striping brush, simply add a thin black stripe to your opaque white nails, not forgetting the ever-important base and tops coats. The resulting look is as strong and graphic as it is natural and fresh. And the best part? This trend can transition smoothly into winter, meaning you can keep your crisp, solid white manicures on well after Labor Day.
