Engagement Photo Nails?

allysia, on December 12, 2014 at 12:15 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 33

My epic session is coming up but I don't know what to do with my nails, I mean other then make sure there's no dirty under them lol because obviously there is going to be a pic showing off the ring.

So what did you guys do with your nails? Did you go natural with simple clear polish? french manicure? choose a color that went with your outfit?

ideas or thoughts most welcome, Thanks!

    I chose a light pink gel polish. What are you wearing color wise?

    My e sesh is coming up soon, too! I am planning on just going with a french manicure. It goes with everything and it just looks really clean and put together. Smiley smile

    I had my cousin take a few quick pics of us until our e sesh this spring and I had red gel polish. They looked great! I wanted something that would make my ring pop and it did.

    I went with just a nice, plain pink. I wanted my nails to look clean, since a few of the pictures were up close and personal with my hands.

    I wore mine in a French Manicure...I was going to paint them red, but since I wore a hot pink shirt (my avatar), I don't like the way the two colors look together and think they clash

    I did a french manicure with a small red heart on my ring finger. Like this but only the ring finger had the heart

    My photographer told me to either do a french manicure, a clear coat, or a very light pink. She said she has had numerous brides get something done to their nails for the pics, and then end up hating how it distracts from any pics involving the ring. She has been doing this for a long time, so I am gonna follow her advice!

    I believe my e-pic nails were red. It was Christmas time and I'm a sucker for red nails. For our wedding, I did a blush/nude color with sparkles that I would probably wear every day of my life if I could.

    @8815, DO IT! I LOVE them. Also, you can't tell in that photo but the glitter is just kinda brushed on, not like a typical french manicure. I'll post a closer photo and maybe you can see. It looks more like it's dripping than anything.

    I just did a French manicure. I wanted something simple and classic, especially for those close up shots.

    I did a French manicure on myself. I was kinda pissed though; I really fussed over it and made sure my nails looked absolutely perfect, and then my photographer never even took a ring picture! My nails don't show at all in my e-pics. I was surprised because I thought a ring shot was a given during an e-pic shoot.

    I went with a soft pink. I didn't want them to be the focus, I just wanted them to look nice.
