French Manicure

The French manicure is a classic wedding day look. This simple and iconic style features a neutral base color composed of beige, nude or pink finished with white tips. Short to mid length nails look great with a French manicure. The style is elegant and simple and appears sophisticated without effort.

Classic Pink

Pink is the all-time classic feminine color for wedding day nail polishes. The color is soft, girlish and non-obtrusive. Most importantly, it will not detract attention away from your shiny new wedding ring. Pink comes in a variety of shades including bubblegum, cameo, orchid, raspberry, fuchsia, rose, strawberry and cotton candy pink. The nail polish finish may be matte, lacquer, iridescent or frosted. All lengths of nails are appropriate for pink.

Fun Pastels

Be fashion forward on your wedding with a manicure in a new pastel, soft shades in unexpected colors. Pastels are flirty and fun and will add a subtle pop of color to your hands. Chic pastel nail colors include lilac, mint, light gray, sand, buttercup, lavender, peach and baby blue. Have fun and match your nails to your wedding colors. Springtime is most popular for pastels.

Glamor & Glitter

One of the top trends in wedding polish is fingers tipped with glitter, similar to a French style manicure but employing colorful glitter in place of white. Another fun trend is to paint your ring finger with glitter polish while the other fingertips remain a neutral color.

Go glamorous on your wedding day with metallic shade colors such as gold or silver. Consider liquid colors like plum or blue featuring a metallic sheen.

Nail Art

Embellish your fingertips with wedding day nail art. Enjoy exquisite hand-painted designs from artful flowers to fun polka dots. Add ornamentation to your wedding day nail look with pearls, jewels and tiny charms. The result is a look of luxury that enhances the beauty of your hand thus directing attention to your wedding ring.
