How Should You Do Your Nails For Your Wedding Day?
On your wedding day, nails should look natural and complement the style of your event. Start planning ahead by including a manicure in your pre-wedding glam timeline several days in advance.
Opt for a classic French manicure featuring an eye-catching glazed donut design to complete your dream bridal look, or opt for a light pink manicure to add feminine appeal.
Classic French Manicure
The classic French manicure makes an impressionful bridal statement, and you can elevate its beauty by opting for a different shade of white for the tips or adding pastel tones to match your wedding-day color scheme.
Add variety to your nail look by playing with its shape. Rounded nails elongate fingers while pointed nails add a more modern edge.
Metallic nail polish adds an extra special touch to any French manicure, coordinating perfectly with jewelry or any other silver accents you might wear during your day. Glitter polish on one or two nails makes an eye-catching picture backdrop! Or try glazing the tips for a sweet sugary effect.
Ombre Nails
Brides everywhere are loving the ombre trend, which offers brides an exciting way to express themselves creatively and caters to all types of brides. A fun ombre design for nails could even match up perfectly with any lace found in dresses or veil fabrics!
If you prefer something subtler, this subtle gradient from nude to pink could make for an elegant bridal look. Add sparkly accents like Charlotte Emily’s tiny dot details for added drama on your big day!
To achieve this look, paint both nail polish colors side-by-side on a makeup sponge, then roll it across your nails slowly blending the colors together. Dipping the sponge in water beforehand also helps prevent its contents from drying too quickly on it.
Pink Nails
Pink nails offer the ideal feminine touch to any wedding-day manicure, making an impressionful statement about romance and femininity. Wear them alone or add tiny trinkets as your “something blue,” they will complete any romantic bridal ensemble!
If you want something different and eye-catching, ask your manicurist for a half French manicure with white lines at the bottom. Add diamantes for a sparkly finish a la Over Glowed It for even more shine and shine!
If you prefer more subtle shades, consider asking your nail artist for a milky manicure instead. This timeless hue strikes an excellent balance between chic and effortlessness; plus it looks especially flattering on coffin-shaped nails!
Pearl Nails
Your nail technician can add pearl accents to a sheer pink mani for an understated look, or press small studs along each fingertip of a classic French manicure to complete your ensemble.
If block colors don’t quite fit your aesthetic, a subtle glitter manicure may be just what’s needed. With help from your nail artist, sprinkling shimmer across all or some nails of your nails or creating an ombre effect like Imarni Nails offers is easy and enjoyable!
If ombre manis aren’t quite your style, try creating an organic-looking gradient of nude hues on short nails instead. This approach creates an inconspicuous ombre effect and the subtle variations in hue will complement each nail without looking obvious or overdone.
Gem Nails
Many brides desire adding a splash of color that fits with the overall aesthetic and theme of their wedding. Bright hues like peachy orange and yellow can look striking; for an alternative option consider opting for shimmery chrome finishes as these will create an eye-catching finish that still exudes sophistication and chicness.
Shorter nails can also benefit from adding subtle glitter touches without chunky designs. Ask your nail artist to keep the lines very thin for an elegant and sophisticated feel.
Make your gemstone manicure even more stunning by scattering larger gemstones across the tips of the nails for an eye-catching wedding nail look. Be sure to have emergency polish and cuticle nipper on hand in case any beauty mishaps or fashion emergencies arise on the big day!
