Nail Polish

Soon2BeMrs.W, on June 13, 2013 at 10:20 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

I always wear nail polish and know I will have a manicure a day or so before the wedding...but what color to choose?!?!?! I want something that is nice but blends well but I'm not really feeling the French. I don't want to use my wedding colors (eggplant and silver) because the purple will pull the eye too much away from my dress, etc. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    I did this last night...

    That's obviously not my nails but I can't get a good picture of them. It's pretty close!

    Keep it neutral. Like you said, you don't want peoples attention drawn away from you/your dress/hair to your nails.

    What about a shimmery silver? Not glitzy or glittery, but a soft shimmer so it'll pick up the light.

    I'm not sure what's in the pictures but I chose something a little more "pale pink" as I think the picture is more of a neutral nail color. I did pale pink gel nails with the little glitters and love it!

    I just showed them the picture and picked out the pink and they did it just fine!

    What about a champagne or taupe color? That's one of my favs when I'm not feeling a french but want something neutral.

    I went with a natural French nail to not detract from my rings.

    I like the glitter look. I tought about the silver polish myself & @Val I love how subtle yours are with a little bling. I'm torn too. I want to get away from the french ;ook as well...

    How about painting them pale pink or any neutral color with the bling added like this?

    Do something neutral. it'll make your fingers look longer and your ring show off.

    That being said, I'm alternating between My Private Jet and Ink....ha ha ha

    I would go with a nude, a soft pink, or a cream color. Definitely not silver.
