Wedding manicure

A wedding is one of the most memorable days in every girl’s life, hence there is a lot of excitement and worry. If something goes wrong, you can’t change anything and you can’t replay it. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to even the little things. Today we will look at interesting options for wedding manicure, performed in various ways and techniques.

In general, according to tradition, wedding manicure implies the presence of white, pink and other pastel colors. But this is due to the fact that previously they liked to adhere to the rules, and they got married exclusively in white dresses, which personified innocence. But now, when wedding dresses can be selected according to personal preferences, they can be of a variety of colors, even, oddly enough, black. Therefore, it is much more correct to focus the color scheme of the manicure on the color of the outfit the bride will be wearing. That is, if you chose red dress, then your nails can be painted exactly this color.

But first, let’s look at the main trends that are relevant today in the field wedding manicure.

• Classic French manicure.
• Millennium French (French manicure, in which the tip of the nail is not painted white, but is covered with sparkles).
• Colored French manicure (white color is not used at all, but contrasting shades are used to match the outfit, or the free tip of the nail is covered with foil).
• French fan (the most intense type of French manicure, which uses a large number of decorative elements: ribbons, beads, foil, etc.).
• Designer French (when the smile line is not straight, but of the most varied shapes, from V-shaped to zigzag).
• Classic one-color manicure (without the use of decorative elements).
• Lunar manicure in two tones.
• Frame manicure (when the entire nail is covered in one tone, and along all the borders of the nail there is a strip of a different color, the nail seems to be in a frame).
• Artistic manicure (with elements of geometric shapes).
• Manicure in Feng Shui style.
• Metal manicure.

Wedding gel manicure

Having done a wedding manicure using gel, you will remember about the wedding for about another month, since that is how long the gel will not come off from your nails. But that’s not why brides choose it. The fact is that with the help of gel you can create a real work of art on your nails. Modeling remains very popular these days. True, here you will need to find a real professional in your field, otherwise you can be very disappointed.

In principle, even without sculpting, a gel manicure will look very beautiful if you create a unique design on your nails. The latter can be covered with sparkles and rhinestones. In general, rhinestones on such a significant day are not only not forbidden, but, on the contrary, are welcomed. After all, this is your holiday, and you should sparkle.

Wedding manicure with varnish

Performing a wedding manicure with varnish is a pretty reasonable decision. Then in the next few days it will be possible to remove it yourself, without turning to the salon for help. In addition, if it is too festive, you will not look ridiculous the next day, unlike with modeling. After all, the latter cannot be easily removed; it lasts quite a long time, and for every day this is far from the best option.

The requirements for the color scheme are alternative to those in other options. Of course, in such a case it is better to contact a salon for help, but if you decide to do everything yourself, then you should take into account an important nuance. You need to select the varnish very carefully and do not skimp on the manufacturer. Some varnishes, especially cheap ones, can begin to peel off the very next day, or even overnight. Do you really want the groom to see chipped nails when putting on a ring? Therefore, it is better to give preference to an expensive, but already proven company.

For decoration, you can purchase rhinestones or stickers, or even better if it is lace. This will add additional beauty and elegance to a manicure, which not everyone can afford for every day, due to the strict dress code at work.

Wedding manicure shellac

Shellac, as you know, is a close relative of gel polish. Only, unlike the latter, it is less harmful and looks no worse. Almost every second girl already has a drying lamp and a set of colored shellacs in her home arsenal. This is very convenient if you suddenly decide to prepare your nails for a special event with your own hands.

A huge advantage of shellac over regular varnish is that it can be dried quickly, even if there are many layers. In addition, the top coat will give your manicure unprecedented shine and charm. The durability of this beauty is limited to 3-4 weeks.

When working with shellac, you can use various stencils that will speed up the drawing process and help avoid unevenness. They are sold in nail industry salons. Think about your nail design in advance and purchase all the tools necessary to create it so that you don’t get caught at night and ruin your mood. Friends or a beauty salon master can come to the rescue. When contacting the latter, be sure to take an interest in his work and read reviews from clients. It often happened that right on the eve of the celebration, the pseudo-master disfigured the brides’ nails so much that it was simply impossible to fix anything in the near future.

French wedding manicure

Despite the huge amount of manicure variety, the overwhelming number of girls remain conservative in their own preferences, opting for a French manicure. And this is quite understandable. Firstly, French looks very gentle, especially if you take beige as the base tone. Secondly, on a French manicure you can draw a very beautiful design that will not look tacky and flashy. Thirdly, this is reasonable, because even in the usual post-wedding time it will look appropriate on the nails.

A classic French manicure can be combined with a moon manicure. By the way, at your discretion, you can use not only white color. For example, if the dress is pink, then the free edge of the nail can be painted pink. A good option is to combine two colors at once. It looks especially original in a beveled variation of the French jacket. In this case, the smile line can be emphasized with sparkles, which will be quite appropriate.

Rhinestones, rhinestones and more rhinestones. Of course, you shouldn’t overdo it with them. But when everything is in moderation, everything is in place! Small rhinestones will look especially original. They will not affect the “cuteness” and airiness of the image, unlike large ones; on the contrary, they will emphasize all of the above.

Wedding manicure for short nails

Some consider short nails almost a reason for a complex, putting a lot of effort and time on masks and care for their growth. But the time has come when short and neat nails came into fashion. Now you can stop worrying and start 100% enjoying your own luck.

It is important to choose a suitable wedding manicure for short nails. What is appropriate and what is not appropriate? With great confidence we can say for sure that if everything is done smoothly and beautifully, then even at a short length everything will look great. There is only one rule that indicates minimalism in terms of decorations. The fact is that bulky beads and huge rhinestones greatly burden the appearance of nails and it seems that this makes it difficult for a girl to move her hands. Also, massive decor can completely cover the main highlight - the base color.

Otherwise, you can safely continue choosing a design, but no longer pay attention to the length. Lunar manicure, French manicure, ombre, water manicure and much more - all this is within reach.
