Wedding Nails! French Manicure vs Neutrals

BeachBride2016, on October 20, 2016 at 11:15 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 49

I'm so torn on how I want to do my nails for the wedding! I'd always pictured a French manicure, but I love how soft and simple the neutral tones look these days, too.

What are you ladies doing? And do you have any pic/inspiration pics to share? All I know is I'm definitely doing the gel polish so it can last through my 10 night honeymoon cruise immediately following!

    I did Black and red.

    All fingers were black except the ring finger on both hands was red (with a black tip)

    not fake nails- just polish and shaped my natural nails.

    I looove gel manis and will be doing one, but I haven't decided what yet. I am thinking of a neutral light pink or nude, possibly with a hint of shimmer or glitter thrown in.

    I just did a very pale, neutral pink gel manicure.

    I'm not a huge fan of the french manicure look anymore, I feel like it's kind of outdated. But that's just my personal preference.

    If my nails are long enough I will do a French tip, if they are on the short side I will go with a nude neutral color.

    I'm the only person on the planet who hates French manicures.

    Do a nice nude; maybe with a little sparkle.

    I picked pale pink gel mani but the lady at the salon suggested sparkles on the ring finger.

    I usually do a very discreet french manicure on my nails but opted for light pink solid color gel for the wedding. Looking back, would've preferred nude.

    Do a french manicure ombre. I think it makes the French manicure more subtle but not as plan as a neutral color! : ) best wishes!

    I am doing French but if you don't have long nails I suggest you do a soft neutral because sometimes gel French manis don't look the greatest on short nails (just my professional opinion- I'm a nail tech)

    I prefer a neutral or a light pink to a french manicure.

    @Celia - no, you're not. I've never liked the look of French manicures. But, I typically do my own nails, and get funny looks when I tell the manicurist to file them 'round.'

    I did OPI Bubble Bath for my color & liked it a lot! It was a pale pink & looked really pretty in pictures. I attached the best picture I could find of the color.

    I only like french manicures when they're black with white tips. For the big day I'm thinking black and some sort of negative space
