White pedicure has been in oblivion for a long time. Girls absolutely did not accept white nail designs. In their opinion, he looked simple and not at all attractive. Today, when the main emphasis in the decor of clothing, accessories, makeup and manicure is on conciseness and simplicity, white pedicure has become popular again.
White color is pure, noble and delicate. It fits perfectly into the images of young girls, emphasizing their innocent age and purity. White looks beautiful on women 40+. It visually makes its owner look younger and makes the image more restrained and laconic. White harmonizes perfectly with dark shades; it highlights a tan and hides imperfections on the nail plate.
#1 Plain white pedicure 2019-2020
Plain gel polish coating has recently become very popular among girls. This is a great way to get your nails in order at home without spending money on a professional. White pedicure looks great on nails, highlights a tan, and harmonizes perfectly with rhinestones and other shiny decor.
White pedicure is the best solution for the summer. It looks great with open shoes in white, silver, pink. Use high-quality gel polishes with a thick texture for pedicures. To make the design look richer, cover your nails with white gel polish in two layers.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any pedicure, the monochromatic option has its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
- It won't take long.
- If the coating is damaged, it is easy to restore and return to its original appearance.
- A pedicure using plain polishes in pastel or neutral colors will be an everyday option, as well as a business and festive one.
- Always stays on trend.
- You can do it yourself without the need to visit a specialist.
Flaws:
- There is no opportunity to wear bright clothes of radically different colors.

#2 White French pedicure 2019-2020
White French is a delicate and airy nail art, without which not a single fashion season can do. French in white looks very gentle and laconic on nails. To complement white, use beige, pink, and cream shades.
To make the design look more original, add rhinestones in the root zone, glitter on individual nails and other shiny decor.
Gradient pedicure
Color is one of the most important and powerful elements in nail design. That is why pedicurists create amazingly beautiful multi-colored nail designs in a gradient style. Color transitions on nails are created using two or more different colors. At the same time, one shade neatly transitions into another, giving the impression that the master has created his own new color. Therefore, we can safely say that gradient design is always unique. And if you cover the rest of the nails to match the gradient, you will get an original version.
#3 White pedicure with design 2019-2020
White is an excellent base for many contrasting shades. On a white background you can place:
- floristry - preferably in a light design. Sliders with bright colors also look great.
- geometry is an idea for bright summer nail art. In addition to white, use red, black, and silver colors.
As for design creation techniques, you can use artistic painting, stamping, sliders, rhinestones, etc. Consider the shades used in the design. They shouldn't be too flashy or neon. Stop at calm shades of red, blue, yellow.
Peculiarities
Covering toenails in light colors is distinguished by incredible tenderness, elegance, lightness and purity, so inherent in a woman’s nature. Thanks to this, a single-color pedicure in light pastel colors never loses its position, has a good half of the female population among its admirers and is replenished with more and more current trends from year to year.
The high popularity of delicate shades of coating has a number of features:
- A white or nude shade of varnish visually lengthens the nail plate and toes. Thanks to this visual effect, short nails will look longer, and the foot will look narrower and more graceful;
- a light, monochromatic pedicure will be appropriate on a woman of any age - both on a very young beauty and on an adult lady crowned with gray hair;
- coating of pastel shades, otherwise called flesh-colored, for its maximum proximity to skin color and the breadth of the color spectrum, is classified as classic. It will easily complement any look and style of clothing and can be used at any time of the year. Nail designs made on a white or light background will suit any party and the most solemn and important event in a girl’s life - a wedding;
- The shade of nude solid varnishes goes well with any other tone. The calmer and more subdued the light base, the brighter the shade of the additional color when applying a pattern or print;
- Another indisputable advantage of a light pedicure is the ability to slightly delay the correction time. After all, the flesh tone hides flaws and imperfections, and the growing nail does not contrast so sharply with the color of the coating.
#4 White pedicure with silver glitter
Glitter is often used to create eye-catching and at the same time, calm nail art. Silver glitter in combination with white looks very gentle and laconic. This design fits perfectly into summer looks, attracts attention with shiny decor, and is easy to do yourself.
Use gel polishes with silver glitter for design. Alternate white and glitter on each nail, covering them with 2 layers of gel polish.

#7 White manicure with rubbing 2019-2020

In addition to pearl rubbing, you can use gold, silver, holographic and others. The design with the beetle rubbed on the thumb looks interesting.
Varnish selection criteria
This pedicure has its pros and cons.
Advantages
Finding a ready-made varnish to perform a pedicure in white colors will be very simple. This is not some exotic shade that you will have to chase in stores, or even achieve by artificially mixing colors. Thanks to this, such a pedicure will also be inexpensive in the salon.
This option will have to be adjusted less often than, for example, a black pedicure. Small chips and microcracks on white varnish are not so noticeable, and if you use a durable base, you can go through it for quite a long time.
A white pedicure looks very impressive in the summer, especially on tanned girls. It emphasizes the bronze color of their skin and makes even a gentle tan brighter.
Flaws
A white pedicure quite clearly emphasizes the shape of the nail, so it is best avoided by girls with unevenly growing nails.
When filing the edge, you should also pay more attention to the features of the shape, although here the white color also does not emphasize any imperfections as clearly as black.
If you still cannot achieve the ideal shape, but you want, as in the spectacular photo of a white pedicure, to paint your nails in this bright color, then you can combine it with some other shades and patterns that distract attention from the main shape of the nail.
What you need to know about white pedicure: tips for creating the perfect design
White gel polish on nails looks very noticeable, so any flaw on the nail plate will immediately catch your eye. To make white nail art look beautiful on your nails and delight you with its snow-white shine, you need to follow a few tips:
- use white gel polish only on oval and square shaped nails - this way the design will look natural
- white pedicure should be performed only with expensive and high-quality gel polishes. Using cheap products will cause the coating to quickly turn yellow and lose its attractive appearance.
- A white pedicure looks good only on well-groomed nails that have an ideal shape. If there are obvious unevenness and other flaws on the nails, then you should abandon the white pedicure or disguise them with rhinestones or glitter.
A white pedicure, when performed with high quality and correctly, will delight you with its amazingly beautiful appearance. Delicate snow-white tones suit any girl, with any color type and clothing preferences. Once you try a white pedicure, you will never give up this delicate and attractive nail art.

Autumn
On days when nature is fading, light beige and pearl gray, pistachio tones, as well as a shade of dusty rose are preferred.
Fact about pedicure
Dry pedicure is a salvation for those ladies and gentlemen for whom “wet” procedures are contraindicated. So, it is indicated for people with thin, dry, dehydrated skin on the feet.
Spring
Nature wakes up, and nails can be decorated with lilac pastels, light yellow and light almond tones, soft creamy shades reminiscent of tofu cheese.
Summer
It's time for flowering and sunny days. Suitable colors for it: snow-white, light mint, soft pink, vanilla, soft peach.
However, the seasonal choice of shades is not an immutable rule. The choice depends entirely on the tastes and preferences of the lady, her character and style of clothing.
