BRIDE GUIDE
BRIDAL NAILS HUE It had to be Getting the perfect wedding day manicure is easier than you think and should never be overlooked. Here are some simple steps to having picture-perfect nails on your big day.
It isn't the end of the world if you chip your polish. Use the tip of the brush to fill in the hole, then let the polish dry for 30 seconds. Next, brush on a second coat of polish and finish with a thin clear top coat.
Test-drive different shades Certain shades look better on different skin tones, so test out different shades in the months leading up to the big day. For an elegant look, try a classic French manicure. Once you've found your perfect shade stock up. One for the salon, one for your wedding day emergency kit and one to pack in your honeymoon bag. To Gel or not to Gel Note that some traditional nail polishes are chip “resistant” but not chip free. A Gel polish sets (or cures) under a UV light. Sometimes Gel is known by some of its brand names like “Colour Gloss” or “Shellac”. Lastly, a gel top coat is applied and the nails are again set under the UV. Gel polishes should be done only one or two days before your wedding. Keep it simple We're all for a fun nail design, but if you're not usually a "glitter and appliqué" kind of girl, your wedding day isn't the time to experiment with nail art. Don't Forget Hand Cream It's amazing what moisturizing your hands can do for your pictures. Massage cream into your cuticles and knuckles before your photographer takes close-ups of your bouquet or ring for instantly younger looking hands.
