I had the exact same feeling last week, so I did some browsing and came across a roundup of white nails on journal. That helped me rethink the look — they showed how different white can be depending on shape, finish, or details. I went for a short almond with a matte topcoat, and it turned out anything but boring. I loved how crisp they looked, and honestly, they matched every outfit I wore. Definitely not just a fallback — more like a solid go-to.
