Manicured Nails

Beautifully manicured nails are essential for your wedding. You’re likely going to be showing off that new bauble of yours, so it only makes sense to complete your ensemble with an attractive manicure.

Choose long or short, painted or French-tipped. Consider adding sparkly crystals or a painted flower on your big toe for added flair. Whether you are taking photos or showing off that ring, people will be seeing your nails all day. Toes and fingernails should be pre-groomed at least a couple weeks before the wedding. Moisturizing the nails and the surrounding skin daily will help make them picture perfect. As for your feet and hands, an exfoliater will take off any dry skin. If nails are prone to chipping or peeling, consult with a nail tech to find a nail strengthener that can help make them stronger.

If you prefer, your nail tech can also enhance your natural nails with artificial tips to achieve a perfect 10. Nails should be done the day before the wedding so they have time to completely dry. Make sure to bring the polish that you used with you the day of your wedding in case you need a quick touch up.

Take advantage of these tips and your nails are sure to look beautiful on your wedding day!
