Product Information

One of the first things to consider when choosing a pearl nail polish is the occasion for which you will be wearing it. If you are planning to wear it to a special event, such as a wedding or a formal party, you will want to choose a more formal, elegant shade. Pearl nail polish comes in a range of shades, from soft and subtle to bold and bright, so there is sure to be a shade that will complement your outfit and the occasion. Consider Your Skin Tone When you think of white nail polish, shades comparable to Wite-Out may come to mind, but there are in fact many options for a white manicure if you don’t (or do) want the paper-white effect. We tested a variety of tones, from opaque, snowy whites to sheer, gray-toned hues and found an incredible amount of diversity in shade, finish, and translucency. You can also opt for a shade that’s buildable, like a semi-sheer white (think OPI’s Funny Bunny) and layer the number of coats to achieve your desired look. We all know the woes of gel polish — it makes your hands look beautiful but can somewhat destroy your natural nails in the process. Another option to achieve that ever-glossy look is our selection from Deborah Lipmann in the shade Amazing Grace, which is a snowy and buildable white. This brand prides themselves on creating polishes that are 10-free (meaning no harsh ingredients that typically live in our lacquers) while still delivering a gel-like look. When you think of the perfect white nail polish, an opaque, glacial white is most likely what comes to mind. We rated this polish a perfect five-star score for application, overall look, and drying time. We liked the curve of the brush and how it guided a smooth application, and the polish formula didn’t show any streaking. Plus our nails were completely opaque after the second coat.

When it comes to an icy white, pigmentation is paramount so as to avoid unsightly streakage. This polish has a high opacity which makes for easy application, and we were able to avoid multiple coats. We also admired the smooth formula and glossy appearance after drying, which occurred around the 20 minute mark. We created the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval to help you find the very best products for your life. We use our unique methodology to test products in three labs across the country and with our network of home testers to determine their effectiveness, durability, ease of use, and so much more. Based on the results, we rate and recommend products so you can find the right one for your needs. Good-quality pearl nail polishes are long-lasting. They usually last for a week or more when you take proper care of them. For those who want something a little more opaque, you’ll love this uber-rich Olive & June lacquer in the shade “HD.” This is a polish that makes a statement, with a smooth, bold, shiny finish (even pre-top coat). It’s supposed to have a gel-like finish — providing you with glossy results without all the extra steps. Not to mention the attractive wide brush, which allows the nail bed to be covered in as few swipes as possible to avoid streakage. It only took two coats for this shade to shine through, and shine it did — producing a gorgeous shimmer that catches the light. It did take about 30 minutes to dry, which was the full time allotted. That’s not a dealbreaker, but if you’re in a rush, it’s not the most convenient. And, once dry, this polish was sturdy without any smudges or prints when we pressed on it. Personally, we like the shade best after two coats, but if you want a little more opacity, three coats gets the job done.Pearl nail polish is a type of nail polish that has a pearly, shimmering finish. It is a popular choice for special occasions and can add a touch of elegance to any outfit. However, with so many different brands and shades of pearl nail polish available, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. In this article, we will go over some tips for choosing the perfect pearl nail polish for you. Consider the Occasion Another important factor to consider when choosing pearl nail polish is your skin tone. Pearl nail polish can look different on different skin tones, so it is important to choose a shade that will flatter your complexion. If you have a fair complexion, you may want to choose a light, delicate shade of pearl nail polish, such as a pale pink or a soft white. If you have a medium or olive complexion, you may want to choose a warmer shade, such as a gold or a rose gold. And if you have a dark complexion, you may want to choose a bold, vibrant shade, such as a deep red or a bright blue. Consider the Formula When we paint our own nails, we do one hand and move to the other almost immediately! Using the painted hand often causes the nail polish to smudge and get spoilt. A fast-drying, expertly crafted formula will ensure that there is no smudging or erasing of the nail paint soon after application. Smudging the pearl nail paint could lose the real color effect, looking matty and untidy.

But we don’t stop there: We also regularly re-review the categories in which we’ve awarded the PEOPLE Tested seal of approval — because the best product of today might not be the best of tomorrow. And by the way, companies can never buy our recommendation: Their products must earn it, fair and square.Alyssa Brascia is a commerce writer who covers a wide range of subjects, including beauty, fashion, and personal products.

A good quality formula will rub off in a single or double stroke of remover. Removers are usually chemical acetone which can damage the nails on overuse. Too much scrubbing and rubbing the nails to remove the polish can also damage the top layer of the nail.
