When to get nails done?

If your day before is that busy, I would just do them on Wednesday...I plan on getting mine done the day before our Saturday wedding, but I will also be taking the day off of work and estimate that I will have the time to do so.

My wedding was on a Saturday and had my hands and feet done early afternoon of the Friday.

Following. Is anyone else getting theirs the day-of?? Mine always chip almost immediately, so I don't want to risk doing it in advance, and don't even mention gel manicures-- that is out of the question.

My only note is that I had never heard of just Gel Nail polish and would highly recommend it for a wedding day. It is hardened with like a uv light...so it is more permanent...and less able to be damaged. I am going to get my nails done on Tuesday or Wed for my Saturday wedding.

Our wedding was a on Saturday, and I refused to have a crap ton of running around to do (even more than I already knew I'd need to be doing) so I did my eye brows/toes/nail the weekend before our wedding. They lasted, and everything was fine.

Thanks for your input ladies. It's very helpful.

My dress appointment is at 11 a.m. Thursday and said it could take 30-60 minutes. Leaving there around 12 and getting home about 1:30. I could go right to the nail place then but I don't want to risk being late to rehearsal. Our rehearsal is only a hour long, 4 to 5 so maybe after rehearsal I can go get them done.

Barbara, Why is a gel manicure out of the question?

I plan on getting mine done the day before my wedding. I took that day off of work, so I have plans to get my nails done then.

More importantly, when is everyone getting their eyerbrows waxed? Mine stay red for a couple of days, so I was going to go the weekend before.

I HATE gel manicures, but I am biting the bullet and getting one for my wedding since my honeymoon is directly after. I'm getting them done Friday morning for my Saturday wedding.

I am getting everything waxed on Wednesday, but having my eyebrows threaded on Friday.

I need to get my eyebrows done way before my wedding because they get all red forever.I am getting my nails done the day before the wedding.My ceremony is at 1,first look at 12:30 and hair and makeup will take 2.5 hours so I don't have time the day of.

We're doing our nails Thursday night before Saturday wedding.

I got mine done on Friday for a Sunday wedding, they held up just fine even with finishing gluing my centerpieces together and a bike ride.

Thursday... as soon as the salon opens! Need to be at the airport by 11am on Thursday... wedding Saturday... HAHA now that I wrote that out,,, maybe Wednesday night seems more reasonable... unless the place opens at like 7am! LOL

I did mine on Thurs for my Sat wedding. I did do the gel just to make sure i didn't mess them up before the wedding.

I was planning to do my nails the morning of my wedding because they always chip - and we're doing a beach day the day before. But I totally forgot about gels! I think I'll do gel on Thursday morning when my maid of honor arrives in town. That way they'll be pretty for the rehearsal too. Can you they do french tip with gels or only solid colors?

Are the gel nails expensive?

I am getting french gel tips Tuesday before my Saturday wedding.

My vow renewal is on a Saturday and I'm getting my nails done the day before (Friday). And I'm buying my own nail polish and bringing it with me. Just in case I need to do a touch up. I doubt anything will happen to my nails in 24 hours, but good to have the color just in case

Do Shellac nails. It doesn't chip or fade for like 2 weeks. So do it on Wednesday or Thursday, it doesn't matter.

I got everything done myself, and made my Aug. 2nd bride get everything done, the day before so everything was fresh.

I'm getting mine done Thursday for our Saturday wedding. I didn't want to be super rushed the day before in case any last-minute shenanigans arose. I vote for Wednesday for you
