A white dress in summer is a timeless classic - fresh, elegant, and effortlessly chic. Whether it’s a crisp linen sundress, a flowing maxi for a garden party, or a sleek look for a holiday dinner, one question always remains:
What nail colours complete the look?
Here are our top UV gel polish recommendations from Semilac to match your white dress mood - from minimal and elegant to bold and adventurous.

Style Tip:
Let your nail colour reflect your mood or destination - white will always match, so play with contrast, tone, and texture.
Pair your manicure with accessories:
-
Silver or pearl? Go for cool pinks or shimmering blues
-
Natural raffia or linen textures? Stick to nudes and soft warm shades
White gives you the freedom to wear any colour you love - so don’t be afraid to mix it up and make it yours. Whatever you choose, Semilac’s UV gel polish ensures you’ll have a glossy, long-lasting finish that matches your summer vibe perfectly.
