In this post, you’ll find my favorite off white nail colors. These shades all have a slight french vanilla look to them, which creates a warm twist on your standard white creams.
Off white nail polishes are on the very light edge of the neutral nails spectrum.
Compared to stark white nail polishes, they tend to be a little softer in tone and gentler on the eye.
Depending on the preferences you have, you can wear off-white nail colors to professional gatherings, like work or networking events.
You can also wear these light shades to festivities.
Off white nails tend to have a classy look to them, which can make them a good option for an upscale look anytime you need one.
So if you’re looking for a soft, delicate white but not quite nail color, scroll down ~
Below are swatches of 3 off-white nail polishes, with descriptions of each:
Color Club No Ordinary Love
Shown in 3 coats No Ordinary Love is an off-white light vanilla with gold shimmer and a matte finish. If you want it to shine, add a glossy top coat (shown).
essie limo-scene
Shown in 3 coats, limo-scene is a lovely sheer almond milky white with subtle pink undertones.
It differs from essie’s ballet slippers in that it is more of a vanilla white, compared to a pinkish beige.
Orly Almond Milk
Almond Milk is from Orly’s Breathable line. The Breathable line is a “one bottle manicure” line. The base, top and color are all wrapped into one.
Apply 2 coats to clean, dry nails and you’re done. Opaque in 2 coats, Almond Milk is an off-white light beige cream, a perfect work-friendly neutral color for springtime.
What I like about it is that it’s time saving as you only need the color and it’s nourishing, with the care-focused ingredients.
All in all, these off-white nails all have a classy, demure look. Which one do you like most?
