What is everyone doing with their nails for the big day? I am not entirely opposed to French manicure but I want to find something unique. I can do simple nail art on my own but my FW and I are going to get mani-pedis together as a treat for ourselves before 2 weddings in 3 days so DIY doesn't make...

    10/12/2019 but we are having a small elopement ceremony 10/10/19 so we won't have much extra time. We move everything into the venue the Friday in between. She's not girlie so I doubt she'll get polish other than maybe a clear coat.

    Luckily we are putting off our honeymoon till next spring. We wanted the best weather possible in Ireland and it gives us time to save to make it amazing! What is your date? Where are you going for your honeymoon?

    Most likely I’ll stick with my nude ombre, and then decide on what rhinestone designs I want on my two ring fingers. Right now my nails look like this…

    I honestly am struggling with this decision. I can’t do make-up because I’m allergic to it, but I would love more than anything to get my nails and hair done. I’m thinking for my nails I’m going to have my matron of honor paint them the night before, or maybe two nights before just so it’s something simple and they at least look nice!

    I would keep it simple, styles change and you want your wedding look to be timeless! If the timelessness doesn't matter to you then do the designs girl!

    I am going all glam lol. I normally have long french tips anyway but I am going even longer with a sculpted French glitter ombre. I am especially excited about my pedi - I am going to do extended french tips with swarovski crystals.. it's gonna look so hot with my loubs. Lol. And honeymoon will be in St. Thomas so it's not like I will be needing any closed toe shoes anyways!!!!

    I'll probably be getting a manicure with white nail polish and gold glitter on the ring finger. I could get tips but I can't have them where I work so they would have to come off right after the wedding so it seems sort of foolish to get them.

    I went with the dip! It is so strong and I had been testing different colors for at least 6 months before the wedding so my nails naturally were pretty long which I loved. I went with a simple purple with sparkle over the ring fingers.

    Yes, I feel the same way I kind of wanted something unique instead of French, here is what I am planning to do (or something along these lines) I love the detail on the ring finger!!

    I do like that. I was showing my FW some of the ideas I had and she actually asked me why people do that on the ring finger. She's so cute and not a girlie girl at all. But I do think I want an ombre with the grey color I found and love. I might add sparkle to the ring finger but it's not a requirement at this point.

    I really love this ombre manicure! It's like a fun twist on a french manicure!

    I know I want acrylics (well I am 99% sure I do) and I think I will do a blue color but I’m going to keep the nails kind of short and I want a color that isn’t too much. We are getting married in Hawaii and our honeymoon will start immediately. We want to do lots of hikes and adventures so I need to make sure my nails can handle it and if they get chipped I can just paint over it. I also don’t want to look too formal. So I knew that French nails were out and anything with a design cause me being me I’d mess it up.
    But I think I’ve decided on a blue that will match my FH suit!!

    It sounds cute. I'm keeping mine short too. I will be getting my nails done before we set-up the venue and I don't want to break a nail before everything begins.
