Milky white/very light pink non-streaky polishes?
I’m looking for any polishes that create the effect shown in the pictures without using gel polish and isn’t super streaky/requires only 2 coats? Is anything like this available? I’ve tried OPI Funny Bunny & Essie Marshmallow and both just look like dull whites to me without the milky effect I’m looking for Thanks in advance for any recommendations! ---------------------------- UPDATE: thank you all so much for such great responses and recommendations, I read through every one of them! I decided for what I'm looking for, Londontown Kur Illuminating Nail Concealer in Original (white) was the best match because I want a bright white (blue leaning) milky color and most other similar options leaned more neutral/peachy/cream (which I already have). Another bonus is that it has a super easy to apply formula/can be used for an easy low maintenance manicure. Note: for anyone who's interested, this does have very subtle fine shimmer/pearlescent finish that makes it have that blue/brightening glow. I've also ordered Zoya Madison as that seems the closest color-wise to the inspo pics (and no shimmer). It wasn't recommended here, but after testing it, I'm happy with both the color (bright & clean, blue-toned milky pink which contrasts a lot more with my skin than the warm-toned/peachy/nude sheer pinks that I already own, although I'd say Madison is a tad bit more pink than my inspo pics) and formula (was able to get good coverage in 2 coats and isn't perfectly even, but pretty good and only noticeable patchiness is from very close up). Since this post has gotten a decent amount of interest, I summarized what I thought were other great recommendations (and tried to include both indie and drugstore options) for anyone coming across this post and doesn't want to read through all the comments. Whites: Crellies: Cirque Linen, ILNP Coconut Cream, Cracked Vanille, Zoya Adel, Olive & June Icing is the Best Part (first 3 are off-white leaning to me, while last 2 are brighter bluish whites) Jellies: Starrily Ghost Jelly, Emily de Molly Sheer Tint Blanc, Fancy Gloss Milk Bath, Zoya Lucy, Essie Arctic Jelly Honorable mention: Dimension Nails Vanilla Almond Milk (this would've probably been my favorite of the bunch, except it's no longer available/the company shut down) Pinks: Very pale pinks: Londontown Kur Illuminating Nail Concealer in Pink, Olive & June Strawberry Scone, Olive & June BEB, Essie Gel Couture Fairy Tailor (last two lean beige/nude) Baby pinks: Zoya Bela, Orly Rose Colored Glasses, OPI Baby Take a Vow, Chanel Ballerina, Sally Hansen Pure Pink Cloud, Essie Vanity Fairest (subtle shimmer), Essie Mademoiselle, Essie Gel Couture Sheer Fantasy, Essie Gel Couture Gossamer Garments, Essie Gel Couture Inside Scoop, Cirque Odette, Cirque Chiffon I also did experiment with layering a sheer pink with OPI Funny Bunny, but Funny Bunny was too opaque and just made my sheer pinks look like cremes/opaque instead of milky. You may have better luck layering with a sheer white jelly option above. submitted by /u/Key_Ride_3480 to r/Nailpolish [link] [comments]

Hi! I’m new here in Iloilo and currently living in Pavia. I’m looking for nail artists who can do clean girl nails (photos for inspo 💅🏼).
I’d really prefer salons that are walk-in friendly, kung pwede lang deretso sulod, no need na appointment. But if need gid magpa-sched, okay man, as long as worth it. Ideal locations would be Pavia mismo, or somewhere nearby like SM City or Festive Walk. 😅 I’m going for that soft, minimalist, glossy look, short or almond-shaped, nude colors, maybe with subtle bow or gradient designs. If you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Bonus points kung ma-share nyo man contact details or IG/Facebook page nila para ma check ko sila in advance. Thank you! submitted by /u/No_Competition5086 to r/Iloilo [link] [comments]

Wedding Nail Inspo
I’m getting married in October near Bryce Canyon — wearing a crochet-style wedding dress and going for a boho vibe. I’m a nail art girlie in real life, always rocking bold colors, fun art, blooming gel, 5 color manis, and more. I’m a medium-length almond girl. Any ideas? I lean either going neutral with some small wildflowers, or going fully burgundy, or white with 3d blossoms, or anything classic. No ideas are bad ideas. Bring them on! submitted by /u/desertprincess1125 to r/weddingplanning [link] [comments]

Getting my nails done tomorrow, drop some inspo pics!
I still go to a salon because I haven’t been able to find an independent nail artist in my area that I can afford but I’m trying my best to find one. With that being said, my guy is talented but he’s usually booked back to back to we don’t have much time for designs. Looking for cute, simple, quick sets!

Feb purple nail inspo
My next nail appointment is in 2 weeks. I'd like help looking for inspiration for amethyst/purple color nails for Feb. I like chrome, pearl, and cat eye nails. I also like a bit of simple design. My go to shape is rounded, on the shorter side (picture is a bit longer than usual cause xmas). Occasionally I go almond shape. submitted by /u/Puzzled_Velocirapt0r to r/Nails [link] [comments]

Inspo Pic vs Reality (Inspo from @NailsXMina on Insta)
(Let me address this right off the bat… Yes, my cuticles are beat up. 🤣) The reason I’m here is to get your opinions, but let me set the stage first. ▪️I was a walk-in. ▪️New customer ▪️I tried to remove all the dip nails off, but there was still some stubborn remaining layers the nail tech had to remove. ▪️Full set Acrylic (posted price: $40) ▪️Nude-ish Pink Acrylic powder ▪️Chrome powder I showed her the inspo pic #1 and photo #2 is what I walked out with… after she charged me $80 (before tip). This is the first time I did the almond shape (isn’t the inspiration photo almond shaped?) so IDK if I asked for the wrong shape or if she went rogue or what. I just feel like they are shaped a little weird compared to the photo. I would greatly appreciate it if you would please share your thoughts about the results. submitted by /u/nela_mariposa to r/Nails [link] [comments]

I asked my nail artist for nails inspired by the design in the last image, and I’m so happy with them! 😍😍 (nails by @dime_out , inspo by @indiglownails (both on IG))
I asked specifically for short, almond shaped, and to make the design more symmetrical and matching than the inspiration pic (I also told her I prefer the glitter nails). She knocked it out of the park!! submitted by /u/renduh to r/Nails [link] [comments]

Nail inspo
Going on vacation to Italy in less than a month (Florence to be exact) and looking for inspo for my nails before I go. For some more info, I get acrylics in almond shape, usually dark colours, although I have went for some more bright colours before. If I go for nail art it's not usually super detailed. If any one has any ideas for inspo I would be grateful! submitted by /u/Specialist_Crow_740 to r/Nails [link] [comments]
