The image of the
perfect bride is well thought out from her hair to her finger tips. Your
hands on this special day are going to be the center of attention,
whether it be holding the bouquet, showing off the rings, yours and his,
or simply being photographed holding a glass of champagne… your hands
need to look immaculate. Here are some tips for your bridal manicure.
Tips for perfect bridal nails
• Choosing the right color and design
for your bridal nails depends on a variety of things: dress color,
atmosphere at the wedding, your personality, what you are comfortable
with, and what look you are going for. French manicure is always a
popular, classy choice that will match most outfits, from a typical red
length to a summery destination wedding dress.
• Plan ahead, think about what types
of bridal nails you want and what design. Try as many manicure styles
you can, so you can make the perfect choice for your wedding day.
• Go with someone you trust. If you
have a manicurist you routinely go to, plan on using them for your
wedding nails. If you want to try someone new, make sure you check out
reviews and go in for a couple trials. You do not want to risk not
having a perfect bridal manicure on your special day.
• Have your nails done a couple of
weeks before the wedding, and follow their example in keeping nails
looking clean and shiny, remembering to schedule a follow up the day
before the wedding.
• Plan a day for your manicure and
pedicure close to the wedding date but don’t leave it till the last
minute in case you get crammed for time. After having your bridal nails
done, make sure you are careful not to ruin them.
• Remember to keep your bridal nails
looking nice for all those wedding related events where people will
inevitably ask you to see your rock. If you don’t want to spend a lot
of money on manicure, a simple home polish change will do the trick!
• When you consult with your makeup
artist and the hair stylist, you should then approach the matter of your
bridal nails as well. Seek for their opinion and you will see that they
will definitely recommend the style of the bridal manicure that is in
accordance with your overall appearance.
• Always wear gloves when cleaning
the house or washing dishes. The substances you use when cleaning can
seriously ruin your wonderful bridal nails.
• Let your bridal nails breathe for a
bit before the wedding and only use a nail-building top-coat but no
nail polish until the day before your wedding day.
• If you’re a nail biter, use
anti-nail biting polish of the most bitter kind to ensure your mouth
stays away from your fingers for at least six weeks prior to the
wedding. This way you might loose this habit and you will have your
nails perfect for your manicurist.
• If you have trouble growing your
own nails, an acrylic set may be the way to go. Keep in mind, acrylic
tips must be “filled in” about every two weeks. Because acrylic often
damages the nail underneath, it is only a quick fix, not a “real”
solution to problem nails.
