1. Bridal Nail Art for “The Traditional Bride”

There is nothing like gorgeous reds or metallic golds to make your tips look like a million bucks. Plus, these hues complement your ensemble better than anything else. You can also opt for something sparkly such as tiny crystals or colored stones to add that extra oomph. If we haven’t said this before, more is definitely less (especially when bridal nails are concerned). Our pick: Dazzling embellished nails that will make your evening sparkle like no other.

    Follow these steps to get the perfect bridal nail art

  2. Step 2: Next, apply a small amount of Maybelline New York Superstay Primer Protecting Base Coat to the nails where you like to place the embellishments. Use this: Nails&More Nla-19 Nail Art Stone Wheel and use a toothpick to secure the nail decorations in place.

2. Bridal Nail Art for “The Minimalist Bride”

If elaborate bejewelled nails ain’t your style, then the classic French manicure is just what your beautician ordered. However, we recommend adding some pizzazz to your wedding nail art, in the form of the interesting elements such as some glittery sprinkles or abstract brush strokes to make an understated statement.

    Follow these steps to get the perfect bridal nail art

  1. Step 1: Start by applying a coat of Kiko Milano BB Base Coat on all your nails to even out the nail surface.
  2. Step 2: Apply two thin coats of the neutral colour (subtle pink) on your entire nails. After it’s completely dry, place a thin strip of scotch tape on the area separating the tips. Paint your tips with the white nail paint; remove the strip when the nail paint dries. We love the Miss Claire French Manicure Kit - Black Boxthat features a subtle pink and a bright white matte for the tips.
  3. Step 3: Mix clear nail paint with the embellishment/glitter of your choice like the Nails&More Nla-26 Glitter Set and coat the nails of your ring finger.
  4. Step 4: Finish with a top coat of Wet n Wild MegaLast Hard As Ice Top Coat, running it along the edge of the tip to cap the nail as this will help prevent chipping. To extend the life of your French manicure, reapply a top coat every 2 to 3 days.
