    I did my nails like this for my cousin's wedding. I did one chrome nail and one silver flake nail and the rest are white and I think it came out pretty cute! Could work as nails for the bride also.

    I am planning open toes and I do think they'll match without the accent nail on my toes. I love color and our colors are sapphire and emerald with silver but I tried a few shades of polish to match the colors and they just did not look right for the wedding. I am leaning toward something like this but might see if I can find blue and green glitter polish for my ring finger.

    It's just a white gel polish and the design is a silver flake. They basically take a nail transfer foil in the color you choose and stick it on top and when they pull it off it gives this look.

    Looks like this:

    That is pretty close to what I'm looking for. I would love my ring finger to have a blue opal kind of effect. Thanks for the info.

    With out colors being plum, lavender, and sunflower yellow, I know plum will be involved. Thinking middle fingers will be soft lavender and ring fingers will be white with sunflowers drawn on them like in this picture

    I'm tempted to just do the traditional French manicure, but I've also considered matching my nails to the bridesmaid's dresses.

    I'm going to do all white for my nails. I love the fresh and clean vibe the white gives.

    I really want to find a good white but haven't found one that I like when I do my own nails. I would love for my accent nail to be painted white with flakes or glitter polish since I'm getting them professionally done but it makes me nervous.

    Great thread, thanks for starting it! Also, you could always do a trial run with your nails to make sure you like it. I’ll probably do the same to figure out if I want to tweak anything, even though it’s a little pricey.

    I haven’t decided on this yet. My nails grow super fast and they get long but I like my natural nails short. I only like the way long nails look on me If they are the plastic tips. I feel like that make hands look so different. That being said I haven’t had tips in probably a year except for my moms wedding and yes as cute as they were I went back the next day because I couldn’t stand them 😂 I go to a really cute salon for my natural nails now so I am just hoping they can come up with some cute stuff for me. I have a feeling I will want to keep it pretty simple

    I still might but I'm starting to run out of time. So many things left to do!!!

    I have really enjoyed seeing what everyone else is doing even if it isn't right for me. So much creativity.

    I thought about at least one tip for the nail that keeps splitting. There are so many more options for nails now. It can feel a bit overwhelming but simple is often the most elegant choice. Good luck!
